As a reminder (about debates), so far Trump:
a) has called for an additional one
b) demanded drug testing

This is taking the strategy of “lowering expectations for the debate” to new depths.

I think his next move is to call for the debates to occur after the election because prominent TV executives tell him there’s a yuge audience for spring debates.

“Authoritarian Nightmare”

John Dean appeared on Democracy now this morning to publicize his new book Authoritarian Nightmare
His new book is “Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and His Followers.” “I worked for the last authoritarian president we had,” Dean says. “Trump is of a different cut than Nixon. … He’s going to make Nixon look like a choir boy before it’s all over.”
Most significant point Dean made after a psychological study and polling of Trump voters they concluded that 24% to 29% of them would support Trump ignoring the Constitution (I take that as supporting him if he chose not to leave office)

Here is the interview of John Dean by Amy Goodman for anyone interested:

Did not see this anywhere, but it was reported that Nancy Pelosi has recommended that Biden not debate Trump because everything he would say would be a lie. Don't see it, but she is right.

I mean, it's not like Trump would come out and say, "He's afraid" or anything.

And given the shifting on odds right now, Biden cannot afford that one. As Roger Ailes told Reagan, "Go out there and look like you're having fun even if you aren't."

Here's the thing - he will lie, and his base will believe him. Biden cannot win a debate with Trump because of this. So why not just announce now that he refuses to debate with Trump but is happy to have as many publicly televised town hall meetings as the people want. Just him. No Trump. Trump can have his own town halls or do whatever he wishes.

trump is putting all of this crap about the debate out now so that he can have an excuse not to do them. everything that comes out of his mouth is designed to cause chaos and confusion. he's a con-man, he uses projection and distraction to his advantage.

That is not really a bad solution at all. The debates are basically a Trump town meeting, anyway. It would be hard to make a point, as Hillary found, when he's blasting you with lies which can only be disproven too late...

Hillary was too lazy or too stupid and she read the poll numbers and didn’t go to the swing states. Biden has been in his basement. I’m not sure what you expect. If Joe Biden doesn’t debate The President OMG.

Afraid? Hillary>Biden. If he wasn’t afraid of her he’s definitely not afraid of him. More qualified than Barry to be President? Really?
