Trumps strategy seemed fairly obvious and that was to get Biden to slip up and have senior moment. It really didn't happen, so his strategy failed. But Biden was as much a clown as Trump was. Why can't people look past their biases and give an honest take on things. In reality by being blinded by your own partisanship is only doing yourself a disservice. You can support a candidate and still criticize them and admit when they screw up.

Trump's campaign already stated he was going to have a different strategy this debate. It's clear he needed a different one.
But again....you left out the Wallace factor who clearly treated Trump much differently than he did Biden. Trump was forced to debate two people instead of just Biden. That was not what I would call a fair debate.

Good lord. He’s not being censored. He can still say whatever stupid senseless bull **** he wants to say. He just won’t be able to say it on Biden’s time. And vice versa fwiw.

But only it the moderator keeps their pie hole shut and lets him have his due time to speak without interruption. The two minute clock should also be shown on-screen so viewers can see it.

The Commission and NBC are intentionally making this so odious and obviously biased that Trump has no reasonable choice other than withdraw.

By doing this, they spare Joe Biden from being called out for his corruption and the crimes of his son Hunter, which were committed with his father's political support and assistance.

It is a tough call for President Trump. If he thinks that he can make the points he wants to make without having to fight off the moderator, he should do it. Otherwise, he should cancel.

Trump benefits from this. Biden has a hard time staying coherent for more than a minute. Trump looks pathetic interrupting every ten seconds.

Not sure why it's so hard for Trumpster's to understand this simple fact.

Why are you worried about that if the story is a made up diversion?

Hmm should be interesting. Not sure Trump will agree to it.

Trump will probably refuse to go. He likes talking over people.

My suggestion- have two moderators, each side picking who they want. Moderators will be required to alternate every other question between the candidates.
