    Biden doesn’t want a debate.

    And trump doesn’t either.

    So they’re both going to say they’re willing but can’t because of ______.

    Last election I’m pretty sure was the first in modern history we didn’t get the standard 3, I’ll be surprised if we get 1 this time.

      I’m pretty sure Biden does want a debate. He’s been intentionally pushing Trump’s buttons for a minute now.

      He would be ecstatic if he could get Trump to sundown during a debate, which is likely why Trump’s handlers won’t let him do it.

          Dementia symptoms becoming visible.

          What is sundowning?

          Sometimes you might see changes in the person’s behaviour in the later afternoon or towards the end of the day. During this time the person may become intensely distressed, agitated and have hallucinations or delusions. This may continue into the night, making it hard for them to get enough sleep.

          This is sometimes known as ‘sundowning’ but is not necessarily linked to the sun setting or limited to the end of the day. Sundowning can happen at any stage of dementia but is more common during the middle stage and later stages.

    Put them both in soundproof booths and only turn on their microphones when it’s their turn to actually respond to a question.

      It has seemed like the painfully obvious solution for years to simply have both mics powered off until and unless it’s time for that candidate to speak.

      If they get 30 seconds, after 30 seconds, the timer cuts the power again.

        why would anybody tolerate that? I wouldn’t. if my mic got cut after 30 seconds, I would kick over my podium and grab the moderator’s mic.

          And that means you wouldn’t make a very good president.
