Ok, so biden says he won't participate in the next debate because of the trump virus.
I thought they should do the debate remotely. I've said that before.
So now biden says he will do the virtual debate,
And trump says he won't.
Who's the chicken now?

Biden is. He won't show to a real debate. Just let him wear his mask and he will be safe from the china virus.
The President is a fink.

Gonna be fun to see the righties try to blame Donny backing out of the debate on Joe Biden.

So, being from NY, quite a few of my friends are Dems - the only thing they seem to want to discuss about the debate last night was the fly landing on VP Pence's hair
(I predicted that would be the case as soon as I saw it happen)

I am hopefully that it will be virual, it will prevent people from talking over each other (each answer will be a protected segment).

The ability for someone to cut him off is one of the reasons trump gave for why he won't debate.

He thinks talking over someone is winning. He claims he won the first debate. So in his mind, if he can't talk over someone, he can't win.

Better get used to it. We're going to be seeing a lot of that smirk over the next eight years. Maybe longer.

Well its great that he confirmed he only has an interest to debate if he can be uncivil and endanger the health of himself and others....

There is no doubt in my mind Trump's hesitance to debate virtually is solely due to the fact that the moderator will be easily able to prevent him from talking over his opponent, against the rules he agreed to.

I will now refer to DJT as the Boor in Chief.
And Pence as the Vice-Boor in chief.
