"SNIP......

“The Republican National Committee would consider circumventing major television networks if the presidential debate process is not overhauled,” Politico reports.

.....SNIP"

1. Suuuuuuuuure they will.

2. They are afraid of "Gotcha questions" meaning reality.

The less exposure these insane traitors get the better for our country and my mental health

4. Trump derails Presidential debate

This was maybe the worst presidential debate in American history ... Trump doesn't play by anyone's rules, even those he's agreed to beforehand ... He interrupted constantly and tried to distract, deflect and interject ... Trump would not urge his followers to remain peaceful as votes are counted ...

5. He showed up with covid.

8. His COVID....

presented itself much more like rabies that night.

6. Biden will be on Network TV and if they're too chicken to debate the sitting president

who cares.

[Klaralven]

7. The debates are pretty useless anyway -- no real loss

[SergeStorms]

9. It's the only chance...

many Americans have to see and hear the presidential candidates at all. Granted, those Americans are usually dumb shits, but if Trump hadn't imploded last year the election might have had a different, and frightfully unpalatable, outcome.

12. The debates

Didn't play any real role in the outcome. Pretty much nothing did. Trump was divisive and everyone basically loved or hated him and they stayed that way.

[SergeStorms]

16. Well have to agree to disagree.

In another post there's a factoid that 43,000 votes in three states made the difference in a second term for MF45 and President Biden's victory. Who's to say MF45's unhinged performance in the first debate was a reason for that number of people changing their minds?

I can't honestly say they did or didn't, but it's a possibility.

18. The candidates are all over media prior to the elections without the debates

[applegrove]

10. So they could elect a watermelon if there is no debate. Not to be confused

with the melon they elected in 2016.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I agree. I stopped watching them several cycles ago,

because I realized I wasn't learning anything useful about the candidates.

[Bev54]

11. Let them. I would rather see just the dem anyway.

Most dems are not going to vote for a repub and I think the Independents are starting to lean dem as well. It is their loss not getting national or state recognition.

[Chainfire]

13. I wonder if even OAN is right enough for them?

We could have the debates and select a stand-in for the Republican nominee. Maybe someone from SNL.

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. Okay...

17. talk about your hollow threats lol
