    He's refusing the virtual platform. Offer him a park or stage with Biden in the same room and he's game. His campaign never agreed to a virtual format why should he let these people move the goal posts now? That's insane...

    You don't need to exaggerate to make a point. That does not add any credibility to your posts. Trump's oxygen levels dropped 2 times (not 3 times), once Friday and once Saturday.

    ...and of course they put the President of the United States on the most cutting-edge treatment we have. He is the President. Early and aggressive treatment seems to have worked very well.

    Trump looks strong again, while Biden is still afraid to make public appearances. Biden looks weak and vulnerable. This "virtual debate" change only makes Biden look even more like a weakling whose health needs to be cocooned and protected by any and all means. He is going to be 78 years old next month and has some degenerative brain malfunction as a co-mordibity, so perhaps he should stop making all public appearances and hide in the basement.

    We are to shelter the weak and vulnerable and let the stronger and healthier people get out and keep working.

    So I've changed my mind, thanks. The debate should be virtual, but Trump is correct not to accept a debate with a virtual invalid. Biden needs to stay inside so he doesn't get sick and die in the next 3 weeks from a virus which doesn't kill robust, healthy people.

    Did anyone contract coronavirus "at the last debate"? Have you got any proof that President Trump infected anyone anywhere?

    The virus has killed going on a quarter million people. Please come to reality. This hit Trump hard. Is that not even enough to the Trump followers to accept reality?

    there must be common-sense protections so Trump doesn't spread his virus germs all over the place

    Trump's odds of survival, at >70 years old and obese, were 95%....before we had access to these new, experimental treatments. So, yep, the virus is tough on older people like Trump and Biden, though it is typically taking out the weakest of the weak. That is the reality.

    Seems like Biden is hiding something about his medical conditions as afraid as they are of him getting 12 ft from anyone.

    Trump was a germaphobe before the virus was "a thing". His aids carry hand sanitizer around for him. If anyone coughed or sneezed, he'd tell them to leave the room. He has never liked to shake hands with people and is a fastidious hand-washer. It's sort of amazing he even caught the virus.

    Anyway, he is very likely already immune and no longer infectious. That will certainly be the case by October 15th.

    Still. Biden should hide for self-preservation. Trump should hold a rally.

    Trump had a blood oxygen level of 93. Below 94 is considered serious Covid event and his doctors refused to say whether it had dropped below 90 at some point.

    Consequently they put him on a steroid used only in the most severe Covid cases. A steroid held back in milder cases because it can CAUSE problems if used early and not required

    You are considered an infection risk for ten days after the symptoms are gone. Trump may or may not be having symptoms (difficulty breathing is absolutely a symptom and that was obvious on Sunday) now...but the drug cocktail he is on will MASK symptoms.

    The only way he can be considered virus free is to have at least two TRANSPARENT negative tests.

    The White House will not say when the last negative test was given. They will not say when the first positive test was given.

    They can not be trusted

    Looks like I was mistake, sounds like he’s only infected the Whitehouse. My apologies for the mistake. But that’s not a reason to give him another chance at it.

    One of the drugs he took encapsulates the viral particle so it can't enter cells and reproduce. Another drug keeps the viral particles from replicating if they do manage to penetrate a cell. He got all treatment a lot faster than you or I would, so he has recovered quickly.

    Just because someone "can" be an infection risk for ten days after symptoms resolve, doesn't mean they "are". The most infectious stage is early after exposed by someone else. By the time you have symptoms, you're probably past the peak.

    Most of you wished he died, but you didn't get that. Think 2020 will be a big disappointment for you. You peaked early and Biden wil be exposed for his role in trying to overturn a duly elected President!

    Read the bolded. Did you think about that when you wrote it? If Trump "could" be infectious. Should we take that chance?

    Of course not. As noted. The White House needs to be absolutely transparent and they are NOT

    As noted..they are being opaque about both negative and positive tests. They are being SILENT about viral load (which CAN be measured)
    They outright lied about the initial onset...

    Ongoing negotiation.

    Anyway, Lesh changed my mind. I think Biden is too weak and vulnerable to continue with debates or anything which may expose him to other human beings until he wins and Kamala becomes President.

    Trump's campaign should just cancel his participation in further debates and go book a full schedule of rallies. Being around people is for the strong, not the weak.

    Virtual debates would just waste valuable campaign time.

    As slowly as Barr and Durham are moving, that exposure may not officially happen until Kamala is President early next year.

    If you want to show how strong YOU are...run down to the nearest Covid ward (there are many in Texas) and do jumping jacks without a mask. Do some hugging while you're at it

    Most of what you wrote is inaccurate, but there is no point in trying to penetrate the left-wing conspiracy propaganda. I know you are sincere in believing what they tell you to believe, so bless your heart.

    LOL Funny. Off topic, but humorous nonetheless.

    So the Commission for Presidential Debates is just a bunch of elite RINO's, DINO's and corporatists. They are part of the establishment swamp's oligarchy.

    Trump is a president for the American people, not for the establishment. He should just say "No" to participating in debates organized by America's enemies. I'd love to see him schedule a podcast interview or town hall with someone like Joe Rogan or Ben Shapiro.

    Who runs the CPD?

    These debates are garbage since the League of Women Voters exposed them and their tactics in the mid-80's.
