2nd U.S. presidential debate officially canceled

Trump has more to lose at this point than Biden, particularly in a town hall setting, where he cant prepare for whatever the people will ask.

All his blustering about "virtual" debates, is because he is afraid of not being able to talk over Biden and make it into a spectacle!

Well, that's a shame - I was looking forward to seeing a Corona-ravaged, drug-addled Trump self-implode on the stage....

We'll miss the manic behavior and constant coughing like on his visit to Hannity last night...all the while saying how well he's feeling...

But I guess Trump has given up on reaching any undecided voters - he's going all in with his supporters - the one's he hasn't infected yet - by doing more rallies...

His new slogan - "Captain COVID, to the Cemetery and Beyond"....

I think he knows this is the start of the end, and he's determined to take down as many people with him as possible. Getting too late for the rats to jump ship.

An episode of SNL with Alec Baldwin playing Trump and Jim Carrey playing Biden would be far more interesting than any presidential debate.

a loser and a liar. it is too difficult for him to go thru the debate not knowing what to say but rubbish and lie.

Americans steadily losing confidence in how Trump has managed the pandemic, with his net approval rating on the issue hitting a new low.

Re the pandemic, after telling so many 'intentional misinformations' on every subject and having flip-flopped so many times it's a wonder any American had any confidence in what Trump has said at any time about the virus. Or anything else.

Quarantine Trump now before he spreads the virus to any more people.

Good if I want to see old men debate, I just go to the local supermarket. Don't need this trash on air. It's in the air already.

I think he knows this is the start of the end,

I think the Dems and the swamp know they got caught again and Thank God Trump is not buying into this BS! Good for him.

and he's determined to take down as many people with him as possible.

Of the Swamp creatures, if that is the case, I pray for that as well.

Biden wins.

Best for the world to not see another round of chaos coming from the current and the future leaders of the US.

Better for the American people also. They were labelled as debates but that is nowhere near what happened during the first "attempt". Just go to the poll's or post office and cast your vote, and let the rest handle itself.

"There is no medical reason to stop the October 15 debate in Miami from proceeding as scheduled, since the President will be healthy and ready to debate," Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said.

So prove it then. Is his medical condition under audit?

Basically he's bottled it. He's running away from awkward questions that he can't call fake news or MSM bias. A complete and utter coward.

I'm not so sure PT, I would submit to you people are losing confidence in the Dems and their lies,

oh i think youll find there are far more actual republicans that are tired of what Trump has turned their party into, they want out, they know voting for Trump wont help their cause

I was actually looking forward to Trump’s ‘roid rage performance at the debate. After his Fox interview, assuming he realized that the second debate wasn’t actually over and he didn’t win, his strategy was clear. He had no plans to debate, instead his strategy was to yell, scream, interrupt, and try draw as much attention to himself as possible.

This quote from Trump during from the Fox interview when he tried to explain why he didn’t want to do a virtual debate pretty much tells his strategy.

“It's ridiculous. They cut you off whenever they want.”

Given his performance at the first debate can you imagine one in his current condition, becoming more desperate and on steroids? Implosion!

It would have been great fun to watch him destroy himself.

Well, now that Republicans are getting COVID, they are now starting another conspiracy theory that Dems are infecting them.

Obama: No, Joe! Tell me you didn't!

Biden: I sent him a get well card. I told him to 'stay positive'.

Brave Sir Donald ran away.

It’s a great disappointment to comedy fans all over the globe.

It would have been great fun to watch him destroy himself.

True, but he's doing a good job on self-destruct mode, even without the debate. I guess it would have speeded up the process, which would have been nice.

oh i think youll find there are far more actual republicans that are tired of what Trump has turned their party into,

The majority of conservatives in the US that support Trump are happy about that, we hate the establishment on both sides, so that is exactly what we want a disrupter, so it's a great thing what he's done to the party and even you have quite a few Dems that are leaving their party for the same reasons and quite a few went to Trump.

they want out, they know voting for Trump wont help their cause

They don't have a cause and they wouldn't win any elections because of what they are, so good that they hate him, we feel the same about these rhinos.

Good thing the original poster said republicans and not Trump republicans or you’d have a point.

Well, who cares about them? There is a reason why these rhinos can't win anymore, kinda like your grandfather's Democrat party of long ago, those days are long gone.

Which is why you love Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and the majority of Trump’s swamp creature cabinet.

They could have retired, but they do support the President, so I'm good because they want to get rid of these swamp establishment politicians, but the rhinos wouldn't.

Trump is right not to do this virtual thing where the biased "moderator" would cut him off at will.

What he should do instead is accept the Joe Rogan invitation for a long-format talk. If Biden wants to join, fine, if Biden chickens out, also fine.

But I really had enough of this propaganda arm of the DNC called "the media".

There is nothing to fear. It's not as if the Chinese are in the middle of a raging pandemic out of control. The problem is the whole of America.

No...

by the way you wouldn’t even know what’s going on unless the CCP wants you to know, and please don’t even start implying that they are transparent.

And what is this talk of a second debate? Trump said there's already been a second debate. And he won it, along with the first debate. That's what he was telling Fox, in the middle of those coughs.

Well, neither side won the debate, both were pretty bad.

The last gasp for Trump's presidency.

turn off the lights the Red party is over and its a blue wave coming in. That last backtrack regarding the stimulus cancel was the last straw and instead made it political vs actual assistance. The White House moved aggressively on Friday to revive stimulus talks that President Trump had called off just days earlier, putting forward its largest offer for economic relief yet as administration officials and embattled Republican lawmakers scrambled to avoid being blamed by voters for failing to deliver needed aid ahead of the election.

Just toss a coin and stop wasting money. Both sides are the same deep down. I guess it’s up to the tv network advertising revenue.

I like your choice for a non biased moderator. Rogan is pro choice, pro gay rights and endorsed Bernie.

Are you sure you wouldn’t find some way to say he was biased?
