The RCP brought that up his morning. There have been exceptions (Nixon/Kenndy and Reagan/Carter) but fundamentally presidential debates usually don't change the dynamics of the race esp. not when candidates are as well-known as Biden/Trump.

Another thing mentioned: Biden painted himself into a corner. He has to debate. There can be no backing out.

Classic spin. It was Trump who painted himself into a corner, but saying "anytime, anyplace". So now he nor his minions have no reason to beef about CNN or ABC (yet, hear all the cries of bias...even here on this thread!) or whether it's being held at Four Seasons Landscaping. Show up or shut up!

Trump will show up and be just fine.

If Biden doesn't drool or die on camera, he will be considered the winner by you and the rest of the left.

But I doubt either one will see the polls shift in any substantial way due to the debates.

I agree! This was a super good move by Biden and his team.

Biden can still be sharp in many moments, and he's got a great record of accomplishments.

Trump may struggle here--we will see.

RCP mentions Trump has always wanted to debate Biden. They also mention the Biden folks and friends in the media have been floating trial ballons since winter about reasons why Joe B. wouldn’t debate Trump. So why the change?

Joe B. has got to turn the conversation away from the polls and shake things up.

You think Trump is afraid to debate Joe Biden? Your biggest concern should be whether or not Biden can remain conscious and upright.

You seem to overlook that Biden is the one that's made the unfair demands, not Trump. He won't back down, and Biden will be destroyed.

It's the Biden team who insisted on no live audience. Why?

Speculation is Biden might be booed which could throw him off his game.

I think being boo'd would be the least of his concerns with having an audience.

The Free Palestine Cult would most likely be in the audience and lose their minds chanting "Genocide Joe!"

Cant wait to watch these two do nothings ramble on for 2 hours about absolutely nothing.

If you have brain cells to spare, then definitely watch for the entertainment value of observing two aged retards scrap it out like a bad celebrity boxing blooper reel. If not, then stay away, you are damaged enough already.
