1. Does trump really believe that won't be brought up regardless?

[olegramps]

17. The best would to announce during the debate, Trump did what it brought up.

[Aristus]

2. Doesn't mean that Joe can't.

And he probably will.

[LuckyCharms]

3. +1

[BComplex]

12. He'd better! That and healthcare go hand in hand, along with social security that trump

is trying to take away from seniors.

You want seniors not to vote for trump? All you have to do is tell them he's doing this "employee withholding tax" thing because that's what funds social security.

[Eyeball_Kid]

26. It's FICA. It's the employment tax of which employees pay half.

And Trumpy-Boy is also trying to get rid of Medicare/Medicaid.

All Seniors have to know is that Trump promises to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. THAT'S HIS PLAN. Biden should just tell it straight. "If seniors like their social security checks, consider them gone in 3 years if Trump gets re-elected. And if you depend on Medicare, consider that gone as well." Simple message.

[lagomorph777]

38. "Probably?" Most definitely will.

[Tanuki]

4. .....

[erronis]

29. The (r)epuglicon eagle. Ass dangling in the air.

[Midnightwalk]

5. Don't agree to preconditions

How could the covid deaths, the tax issue or any other malfeasance be off limits.

If trump can’t handle questions and ducks out let that be the narrative. Allow biden one hour of free air time if he is the only one to show up.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Wallace Has To Bring It Up

It's too important. And, he will.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

7. time to show him what you come from, chris.

make dad proud.

[CaptYossarian]

15. I'm not too familiar with Chris, but Mike

would have found a way to raise three middle fingers.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

19. yup.

man was prolly born w no fucks to give about power. except the power of the TRUTH.

chris shows a flash from time to time. but he is at the age where you start to think about legacies. both those you had given to you and those you leave behind.

[CaptYossarian]

27. That is so true.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

40. i know it is true for me.

i'm 66. i finally stopped judging my da 8 yrs ago when i started my urban farm.
i found out then that it allowed me to own the gifts he gave me. and they are many. more than i could repay if i live to be 100 and thanked him 10 times a day.

now if only my kids could learn that lesson. they give me grudging credit for their built in fight but that's about it.

[CaptYossarian]

42. Hang in there.

Someone once said they didn't realize how smart their parents were until they got older themselves. My daughters could make eye-rolling an Olympic event, but I'm sitting back and watching them grow up. When they catch on, it'll be very rewarding.

[lettucebe]

8. Biden can & will mention it -- tRump lives in fantasy land

thinking that if he moderator doesn't ask, it won't come up. Well Hunter Biden isn't on the program either, is he?

[Siwsan]

9. Wallace should tell him to stuff his condition.

Freaking snowflake!!

[beachbumbob]

10. Doesn't stop Joe, and if I was Joe I would say/ask

Trump why was this made a condition and why is he so afraid of a numbers? This will be brought up, trump just made 10x worse for him as he will say something idiot like only 88 people out the 200,000 deaths were Covid

[wnylib]

18. Or he will say that they were only

seniors and people with underlying conditions, so it really doesn't count. If he says anything like that, I hope Biden responds that it was a popular idea in Germany once, but not any more, not even there. With a reminder of what happened later to the people who adhered to that idea.

[pandr32]

23. +1

The response to the pandemic is part of Trump's record.

[agingdem]

11. Like that's going to happen!!!

it's like a mother telling her 16 year old daughter the mega-tattooed multi-pierced drug dealing juvenile delinquent next door is off limits and the next thing Mom knows that kid is her grandchild's daddy...

[erronis]

30. Damn. I've been there. You too?

[agingdem]

36. and she married the slug and 15 years later regained her sanity and divorced him

it cost me a fortune...worth every dollar...I plan to live long enough to see Trump frog-marched out of the White House and my daughter's ex in his grave...and then I want world peace..ohm

[rurallib]

13. Can they mention the prediction of 400,000 dead by Christmas?

Merry Christmas from Donald Trump and the Republican Party, America!

[Lithos]

14. I will not RT 205,000

I will RT 210,398

L-

[Marie Marie]

16. Did Chris Wallace agree to this?

[liberalla]

34. I'd like to know the answer to this as well!

[duforsure]

20. So Biden should say throughout the debates the coved 19 numbers,

And his doing nothing to Putin over putting bounty's on service members, and his calling service people suckers and losers. If trump suggest joe is a drug user Biden needs to ask him his friend that was a drug trafficker he had working for him , and he helped protect when caught. Or maybe suggest he is a drug user according to several people who worked around him I believe the one guy claimed he was a user of crushed up add earl, coke, meth, and Benzo's. Biden should wait until trump suggest something to upset him , then calmly unload on him.bring up his diapers.

[wnylib]

21. Maybe Trump is asking for

ridiculous conditions as an excuse to pull out of the debate. Or to make Biden refuse to debate.

Wonder how drugged up Trump will be to get through it and how noticeable it will be.

[erronis]

31. It's been my hypothesis that dump will pull out since Joe didn't submit some stupid tests.

As if dump was going to submit anything that anyone would believe.

[pandr32]

22. All the more reason for Biden to bring up those deaths

...and honor those people who lost their lives due to malfeasance. Their loved ones will be watching.

[Wounded Bear]

24. Working the refs...

Wallace's first question: Mr President, 205 thousand Americans have died due to the coronavirus outbreak. Why should anybody think you did a good job?

[RestoreAmerica2020]

25. Thanks. Biden to trump why did you ask Wallace not broach 205,000 covid19deaths? Rump says

..fake news--Wallace then interjects trump your compaign requested it! tfrump--I dont know anyone working on my .campaign-- fake news; press is the enemy..yadayadayada y mas mierda from vulgar sexual predator. The debate is going to be a circus!

[gratuitous]

32. Trump has graded his response to the virus as A+ and perfect

Why wouldn't he revel in every last aspect of that great job he's done? 200,000 dead in the United States should be celebrated, shouldn't it, Donald?

Biden should tap his podium five times, once each second, then say, "If I tapped this podium one time per second for every American who has died from Covid-19 under this administration, we'd be standing here until Donald Trump's tee time on Friday."

[avebury]

33. Like that will prevenet Biden from bringing it up.

[EleanorR]

35. She was actually trying to show how easy it is to offer up a distraction like trump has

[Patterson]

37. Didn't OJ ask the DA not to bring up those two dead people?

[Cha]

39. Rt.. Chris Wallace better Not have agreed.

[getagrip_already]

41. The CV Pandemic is one of the announced topics - how could he not mention the death count?

This sounds like this was an attempted pre-conditon. They announced the topics covered already, and the pandemic is one of them (the list is - Trump's and Biden’s records, the Supreme Court, the coronavirus pandemic, race and violence in cities, election integrity, and the economy).
