    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.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      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.

              Agree.

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

                Yep, now Trump has backtracked.

                He’s such a whiny fucking bitch. The little snowflake did this in 2016 too.

                I hope Biden stays firm.

                  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.

                        Trump is still a COVID-19 patient with potential to infect others. It would be highly irresponsible to do a “townhall” style debate in person with that contagion potential. Going virtual is the right and responsible call.

                          His doctor says he’s totally safe.

                          This is the same doctor who thought it was “notable“ that antibodies could be detected in Trump’s blood 48 hours after they infused 8 fucking grams of them into his bloodstream.

                            Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said two negative PCR lab tests 24 hours apart are a key factor in determining whether someone is still contagious.

                            “So, if the president goes 10 days without symptoms, and they do the tests that we were talking about, then you could make the assumption, based on good science, that he is not infected,” Fauci said Thursday on MSNBC.

                              Yeah maybe the 22nd could be in person. But they’d need to enforce masks usage by his staff this time.

                                  2nd debate cancelled:

                                    I wonder what the up/down sides are for each candidate:

                                    Biden: "Trump tested positive and was hospitalized with the virus. He's unreasonable and dangerous."

                                    Trump: "Scully is a biased, self-confirmed Never-Trumper. I'm glad it's cancelled because it would never be fair. MAGA, baby!"

                                    Also, most seem to think that Trump did himself more harm than good after the last debate. Minimizing exposure might minimize losses.

                                    Me: "It's 2020. What the hell did you expect?"

                                    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                      I wonder what the revenue loss is for the networks and social media with the loss of 80m+ eyeballs.

                                        Nate Silver:

                                        Our research on primary debates suggested that a debate is equivalent to something like six to 10 days of normal campaigning and news, in terms of how much they move the polls. So it’s as if Trump is taking a week off the clock in an election in which he trails by 10 points.
