Trump says he won't participate in next debate after commission announces it will be virtual

Oh geezzzz what a phony and specious attempt at an inane analogy.

It's REAL simple, if the commission has concerns then call BOTH campaigns and open negotiations to determine if anything needs to be changed and how. They don't get to dictate terms

Here I'll help you out

Dictate
1a: an authoritative rule, prescription, or injunction the dictates of the party
b: a ruling principle according to the dictates of your conscience
2: a command by one in authority papal dictates

 

No they aren't, the mediate, they arbitrate between the campaigns. They don't just change the rules as THEY see fit. This is a MAJOR change and they screwed it up and should have contacted the campaigns and gotten everyone together to work out an alternative if needed.

Don't know why so many have trouble understanding that.

 

That's a lie.

You are the one who watered down the definition. It isn't an analogy. I dictate the rules on my property. So do you. According to YOUR DEFINITION (can't wait to see how you scramble to redefine), that makes us dictators. See how you couldn't even stick with your own original definition? Keep shifting those goal posts and pretending that it is somehow authoritarian for someone or some party to have control of their own property . . . which, as you know, is exactly what you are doing with the Commission.

 

13 pages in and we all still agree that it is Trump, not Biden as all the Trump supporters proclaimed, that is running and hiding like a scorn bitch from the debates.

 

Specious dodge noted again.

 

He brought that on himself, with his irresponsible behavior and now Covid Boy has bone spurs again.

 

A specious analogy at that and stop with the semantics, they are trying to dictate terms to the campaign period and they have no authority. Call the representatives of the campaigns in and discuss and negotiate any changes to the time location and rules.

 

He is the one saying he is ready to debate as was negotiated, if they want to change the rules then call the campaigns in and negotiate the changes, why is that so hard to understand?

 

Scully was a Biden Intern. With 320 million people in the country, the Commission on Presidential Debates couldn't manage to select a moderator who would ask about this:

or ask Kamala if she still thinks Biden is a racist?

 

Incorrect usage of the word "analogy." I used your definition. You are now running away from your definition because it no longer suits your agenda.

 

Not at all they are trying to dictate the terms of what is negotiated BETWEEN the campaigns. They screwed up just admit it. I'll help you out again

Dictate
1a: an authoritative rule, prescription, or injunction the dictates of the party
b: a ruling principle according to the dictates of your conscience
2: a command by one in authority papal dictates

And yes your analogy was entirely specious.

 

Problem solved Biden campaign offers up moving back a week and Trump campaign agrees.

Not everything has to be made into a federal case.

 

They are the venue. They have a say. Especially when one participant can't agree to even basic precautions. But continue your pseudo Marxist rant about private property being authoritarian. I hear it from the fringe left all of the time

 

trump agreed to the terms, he just doesn't like it cause now he will have to abide by them

the reason it's virtual is Trump went and got himself infected, I get it, now he doesn't care about anyone else as he already has it

 

10 days after symptoms resolve

 

We knew Scully would be a biased moderator regardless of venue. Trump is accustomed to that aspect of the debates.

What I wonder is who are these people on the Debate Commission. It was founded in 1987 and the founder is still the Executive Director of the commission.

I'm sure that multi-millionaire ex-Presidents have absolutely no say over rule changes (even though they are "honorable" Co-Chairs of the commission)..

I'm sure that neither Obama nor G.W. Bush would have any bias against Trump.

Sorry but you’re wrong. They set the rules. As a courtesy to the campaigns they try to reach agreement but ultimately the CPD decides.

And if Dirty Donny doesn’t like the decision he is entitled to run away with his tail between his legs.

No more “orange man bad”. Now it’s “yellow man scared”.

 

They are fulfilling their mission, having taken into account that the president is positive for Covid.

 

Nope. He is a wuss that is afraid to debate. Again, Trump NOT Biden is refusing to debate as you all proclaimed.

 

He’s refusing time offered.

 

Lol ok not literally everyone was infected by covid45.

 

Not at all, they’ve showed they can’t be trusted to even do what they agree to do.

 

No, he is refusing a venue change. If the time was given to Biden, the same amount of time would have to be given to Trump. If what you folks were suggesting was remotely true or possible, we'd be hearing about all over the fake news...

 

His oxygen levels crashed 3 times and they put him on the most aggressive treatment available.

HE CLEARLY was having breathing issues when he left the hospital

What are you talking about?
