Biden Says He Would Debate Trump Via Video
Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden is so eager to debate President Donald Trump he’s even willing to face off via video.
“I’m ready to debate President Trump on Zoom or Skype anytime he wants,” Biden said in an Instagram interview with Enrique Santos, the chairman and chief creative officer of iHeartLatino, which is part of iHeartMedia, Inc.
Biden said he expected to see “a lot more planning” for how to run the November general election amid the coronavirus threat, including the broader adoption of mail-in ballots
The candidate was speaking from the TV studio that was built in the basement of his Wilmington, Delaware, home to accommodate a wide range of interviews and livestreams as he’s cut off campaign travel to avoid coronavirus risks.

(96,043 posts)Probably the least congenial setting for the cheap thug, and one which given real concerns of public health will seem necessary to most everyone.
Actually the cheap thug's best move would be to evade any head to head debate in any form whatsoever, but he so over-rates his own prowess that is not too likely.
"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."
"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

TRUMP: I remember call to Gold Star widow better than she does because I have 'one of the great memories of all-time'

Guess the asswipe forgot what a great memory he had.
If the Fuhrer says "I'm looking forward to debating Sleepy Joe" you can be sure that's a tipoff that it's the very last thing he wants to do and will find some lame excuse to duck him. Like maybe he forgot all about it.

The negative is one on one with voters is lost. That is a negative worth the risk.

(2,419 posts)This is a good move and will gain even more respect for Biden because he is showing that he respects Democracy. He is showing no fear of Trump. I am impressed! Trump relies on fear, threats and bullying to control others and to control situations and messaging. Biden is showing no fear!
