    It's going to be a very different type of thing. All the body language, the impression created by a physical presence will be gone. We won't see the shock-collars work either, dammit.

      I wonder if the rules will include some subtle muting if they go too far over? Maybe a volume decrease?

          Serious question who thought it was a good idea to have three of these debates instead of two like 2016?

            I’m totally ok if Trump backs out of this.

            But keep in mind he’s done this in previous debates too. Remember when Megan Kelly was all mean to him?

              I'd guess team Trump.

                Personally, I think it works to Trump’s benefit. He would be much better at tossing emojis into the screen while his opponent is talking 💩

                  I dunno, but I think that in coming ekections, they ought to do multiple mini-debates, limited to a single subject.

                    @George-K

                    It depends a bit on when the decisions were made.

                    Did team trump know they’d be this far behind?

                      If I am VP Biden, I am sitting looking at the camera at the scheduled time. Camera comes in with a double screen - VP Biden in one side and the other blank. Would not be good look for President Trump.

                      However, I know that wouldn’t happen.

                        It could be a re-run of the famous debate between Clint Eastwood and a non-existent Barack Obama, which Clint somehow managed to lose.

                          Very smart of the Biden campaign. Make it official before Trump changes his mind. And it’s Trump’s fault.

                          When you’re leading by double digits, you don’t want to debate.

                            I wouldn't say it's smart.

                            Biden is creating a new scarlet letter, except this one is a "C". I think it also reinforces the Bunker Theory...How can you govern in a bunker?

                              If by bunker you mean "running over video conferencing" - I think pretty much every F500 company is being run from a bunker right now.

                                  He’s not running the country, he’s running for president. And his deliberate strategy of letting Trump run against himself seems to be paying off. If the polls are any indication.

                                    As I say before, the best campaigner for VP Biden is President Trump.

                                        And the debate commission too.

                                        Down 10 points with three weeks left, Trump’s a beggar, not a chooser. He shouldn’t have bluffed if he didn’t want to have it called.
