Biden will keep debating Trump, campaign says

Source: The Hill

Joe Biden will continue to debate President Trump, his campaign said late Tuesday, even as political operatives blasted what they called a "train wreck" between the pair in their first debate.

"I don’t know how many different ways we can say it. Yes, we are going to do the debates," Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield said in a post-debate call with reporters.

"I would imagine there will be some additional conversations [with the Commission on Presidential Debates]. But yeah, we are committing to attending the debates," she said.

Bullies bully but they are cowards. We know that the coward will back down when we persist. Then, we vote him away.

And the solution is - trap doors. If you interrupt anyone during their 2 minutes, a trap door opens and you disappear.

5. Good. The next debate is a town hall, which is Biden's best format.

I love watching Biden listen to people and empathize with what they are going through. It's also the best way to contrast the two candidates.

Having to respectfully listen to ordinary people's concerns? He could care less about anybody else's concerns and, put up there on stage next to Biden, it will show.

A sitting president should not need his mic cut off during their opponent's two minutes, but did they really think that a "rule" would work for this one?

...is a good thing. Biden did very well, and showed what a President is supposed to be. I say, the more the merrier.

13. I think Trump is going to come up with some excuse to cancel the remaining two debates.

Clearly he lost ground last night and is being seen as a lunatic by those that watched.

was ignorant, didn't follow the rules of the debate, kept interrupting, etc., basically a worthless debate other than maybe one of the most important facts to arise coming out of this first debate, that the PINO is clearly unqualified, does not know his facts or misstates his facts, is arrogant in the extreme, and clearly doesn't know when he's outmatched and doesn't know when to shut up.

Isn't it the role of the president to bring together all different factions of the Country together, and get things done? Where's our Infrastructure Plan? Where's our so called new Health Plan, that is supposed to replace the ACA? The list can go on and on...

trump was ignorant, floundering like a whale in tough waters, and in general, a disaster.

Serves the republicans right...they just cost themselves even more seats from last night's debacle. Every day they let this piece of filth remain in office, is a strike against everything republicans believe in, everyday that they sit and hide behind a supreme court that they jury-rigged to their advantage (supposedly), is a strike against all republicans everywhere.

Biden is doing well. He doesn't need to gain anything from the debate. If anything, he stands to lose. Why even take the risk?
