Giuliani wants an unmoderated Trump-Biden debate where moderator would only "brake them up

when they get in clinches"






DEBATE QUESTION:

Would you like to see a real debate where @realDonaldTrump and Joe Biden ask each other questions?

The Moderator would just keep time and brake them up when they get in clinches.




He's drinking waaaay too early....



Editing to add that the Trump campaign put Giuliani in charge of pressuring the debate commission to make changes, so his tweets on debates indicate the direction the campaign wants them to go:

No, Rudy. Biden needs to counter with an extreme opposite.

And type out their answers. Spelling and grammer count. Each statement fact checked. The wall is there so Trump can't cheat.

Doesn't reveal the truth on past performance and net benefits of proposed policies.

We need debates moderated by knowledgeable and capable people. Facts and not reckless charges.

poor Joe, using his considerable weight to pin him to the ground while throwing rabbit punches in the clinches. Donald and Rudy just want a WWE spectacle with no moderators to break up the action.

If a "debate" seems unavoidable, I'd recommend that Joe Biden simply ignore all questions and instead work his way down a list of the "Top 100 Crimes Against Americans Committed by President Trump." Under no circumstances should he allow the discourse to be steered away from that subject.

Never wrestle a pig in its own sty because you'll get covered with pigshit and the pig will love it.

Just give them both boxing gloves. Anything else is going to be about who can yell the loudest about anything but real issues.

Unless you want to come clean about FARA violations, your shenanigans while serving as trump's personal attorney, your hilarious and oh-so-revealing butt dials, and all of the other shady nonsense you were up to with Lev and Igor, you are useless and irrelevant.

Dive back into your cocktail glass and hush.
