Haha! Love that Trump did this! Anything the Libs would have arranged would have been so bias towards Biden.

Him, and/or Republicans in general?

I have often wondered why spineless beta male (R's) have agreed to so called "moderators" like Crowley and Holt.
I think all Americans, should insist on moderators to be as neutral as possible, whether it be like principled people like Tim Russert, or Bret Baier.

No one who genuinely wants to find out the true positions of the potentially most powerful/influential people in the USA/world, would want political hacks with an agenda to carry the water for one candidate or the other.

Of course they will because :

#1: He is the Incumbent
#2: He will actually have to answer questions from Real Americans
#3: Who doesn't like the Circus?

As far more would watch a train wreck than rush hour traffic.

Because the debate commission changed the rules that were agreed to in June, quite simply.

He didn't cancel the debate. He was happy to do the debate he agreed to do, but the commission changed the format at the last minute.

Hard to blame him. A commission full of anti-Trumpers controlling his audio and video? Turning up the orange tint on his side of the screen? Having total control over his audio? Making his volume slightly lower than Biden's. Cutting him off just as he is about to make his points? I wouldn't trust their new format either. Too much capability for shenanigans.

BS.

Yrump didn't follow the rules the first time around.Why the big whoop now?

Trump got his ass handed to him in the first debate, then chickened out of doing the second.

Let me get this right...

1) everyone agreed to meet in person at the debate.

2) Biden and the commission wants to change it to virtual and Trump said no

3) since everyone agreed to the previous format, they should go back to the agreed format

4) the commission cancels the debate

5) Democrats says it's Trump who canceled it

Sigh... Liberals and their world view...

If Trump tested negative for Covid, why can't they just do the debates in person? Didn't Biden claim to drop out because of the contagion risk?
