Trump Cowardly Backs Out of 2nd Debate

Post by _Philo Sofee »

Can't have it his way and constantly interrupt by going virtual, so Trump shows what a cowardly wienie he is and pulls out. :rolleyes:

He doesn't want to participate in something he can't control by pathologically interrupting the other guy. He thinks debate means rage your ass off so the other guy can't speak.

And he's wrong. The American public deserved better than that and he can't deliver. Hmmm...starting to see a pattern here.

On the other hand...the second debate is supposed to be in Town Hall format. I say let Biden take the air time and answer the people's questions. He excels in one:one interaction with the public.

The only thing Trump excels in is shooting off his raging big fat mouth. Let him bail!

I doubt you'll hear many answers. Maybe whoever speaks into his earpiece will allow him to answer a few softballs.

The only thing Biden or Harris excel in is ducking questions.

Give me a list of examples verbatim. Quote the questions. Quote their answers.

He's already done one with Anderson Cooper as facilitator. Didn't you watch it?

I don't blame Trump in declining to have an online podcast type of debate. The moderator would mute him constantly and that would expose him too much. It wouldn't allow him to be in character. His character is the usurper and interrupter. That's what his voters like. They like thinking that Trump will fight the powers that be by refusing to submit to normal political decorum. He is better off debating from afar at a rally.

Some voters like that, but those voters are dumb. Too many of them and a country will fall. Trump-ism is an avenue to dictatorship.

It's not to Trump's advantage for anyone to be able to hear what people are saying. It's already clear he's a fu-cking ignoramus without letting everyone hear what he's actually saying.

In all things, Trump can't win, so he cheats, and that's good enough for the idiots.

Limbaugh: Trump to hold 'virtual rally' on radio show Friday

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/5202 ... how-friday

So he's backing out of a virtual debate but participating in a virtual rally is fine.

Right. Got it.
