You dont think Biden's staff has been thinking this one thru and WarGaming it out????
You agreed to THEIR turf.
Odds are you'll get THEIR moderator.
Art of the deal my ass.
My buddy and I net profiting $3.00 per lemonade stand day in in 1985 knew more about the deal.
YOU reacted 100% how they knew you would.
Now when you figure this out - any resistance or change you propose, they'll troll you all over again.

What is Biden's "free on Wednesdays" reference pertaining to?
The current criminal trial in New York does not convene on Wednesdays. Under NY law, the defendant is required to attend his trial - so Wednesday is the only weekday that Trump doesn't have to be in the NY courtroom.

Yeah, why would you blanketly accept the challenge?
Debate the man, sure. But they'll end up with George Stephanopolous or some equivalent hack to moderate. Maybe get Candy Crowley back so she can just debate Trump instead of Biden. Worked out great for Obama last time.

And here's some of the terms. It figures Biden put these in:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/15/us/politics/bid...President Biden and Donald J. Trump have agreed to debate on June 27 on CNN, the first onstage clash between the former president and his successor in more than three years.Why? Why CNN? They're a lousy network that's hideously biased. Who's going to moderate it? Anderson Cooper? They don't have a single credible person working there.
Mr. Biden and his top aides want the debates to start much sooner than the dates proposed by the organization, the Commission on Presidential Debates, so voters can see the two candidates side by side well before early voting begins in September. They want the debate to occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker’s time limit elapses.
And they want it to be just the two candidates and the moderator — without the raucous in-person audiences that Mr. Trump feeds on and without the participation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or other independent or third-party candidates.The last debates featured Biden jumping in all over Trump. CNN will allow that all day long while cutting off Trump's mic. That's called "Fair" by leftists.

This sounds like Trump was projecting weakness and Biden was projecting strength. Trump signaling weakness in a debate is a problem as Biden will tell all his followers to swoop in, make Trump look dumb, and lose the debate.

They got the answer they wanted.

I do like that Biden said "make my day".
Now in addition to Drilling for Fossil fuels, keeping taxes on corporations and the rich low, proclaiming American Superiority, spending record sums on defense - Dems are now into "cowboy rhetoric".
Sandyleelee was a Reaganaut in Drag all her life, as are these Liberals. Who knew.
Some days I like running things without having to be in charge.

The last debates featured Biden jumping in all over Trump.As albaby1 pointed out last night, Dope1 is living in Opposite World.
Biden became exasperated with Mr. Trump's interrupting several times – and actually asked the president: "Will you shut up, man?"
Wallace also had to ask Mr. Trump to stop interrupting. "Mr. President, I am a moderator of this debate and I would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer," Wallace said.
A few minutes later, when Mr. Trump was again interrupting Biden as he tried to answer a question about health care, Wallace asked: "Mr. President, can you let him finish, sir?"Also, I clearly remember that
Trump knew he was infected with COVID-19 but hid that information from the debate personnel and from the Biden campaign at the debate on 9/29/20.

Yeah, not so much. But do keep hiding behind other posters.
In the debates they had last time, Biden kept interjecting when Trump was saying something.
You keep doing you! The world needs people who rack up L's for a living.

I like Biden's request that when a person's time is up his mic cuts off automatically. I really wish they would implement that.

You keep doing you! The world needs people who rack up L's for a living.Here's actual proof you live in Upside Down World:
In the first presidential debate, as Vox’s Zack Beauchamp reported, Trump “used interruption as his central strategy, attempting to fluster Biden and prevent him from making actual substantive arguments. Instead of engaging on the merits, Trump deliberately turned the first presidential debate into a carnival.”Trump interrupted Biden 128 times in the first debate.
That's 128 times.
Again, 128 times.
Trump interrupted Biden so many times that the Commission on Presidential Debates installed a mute button for the next debate. Trump got such bad reviews for his constant interruptions that he toned it down in the subsequent debate but still managed to interrupt 34 times.
Biden interrupted half as often: 17 times.
Plus, Trump would ramble on and on in his interruptions while Biden simply would say "false" or "Oh God".
Like I said, you live in Upside Down World (AKA the Trump Cult).

....which means he did just what I said he did. (BTW, I never claimed that Trump *didn't* interrupt. You missed that detail.) Biden also was hardly the model of Oxford Debate Club rules.
Do you realize when the things you type contradict the insults you're trying to land?
Likely not.

Yep.
Let's have Brit Hume and Sean Hannity also. They'll eb fair to Biden.
Ok this is so pitiful and so hilarious, I'm usually stunned.
Who knows maybe Trump isn't the one. To be so easily goaded into this without looking at the rules. This would be a *perfect* time to rail about fake news and Liberal media and demand different moderators. But now he said yes and as I had written earlier, trying to change things now will be met with more needling - which they've already had prepared I'm sure.

biden had leverage, and made a huge mistake in not choosing moderaters' that would brook no nonsense, dodges, and off-topic changes. (+ mic control)
he probably could have even forced trump to accept someone biased center-left.
