House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said on Thursday that Joe Biden should not participate in debates with President Trump during the general election campaign.
“Don’t tell anybody I told you this, especially don’t tell Joe Biden: I don’t think there should be any debates,” Pelosi told reporters at a press conference. “I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that has any association with truth, evidence, data, and facts. I wouldn’t legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States.”

Translation: "Joe Biden has not comported himself in a way that has any association with truth, evidence, data, and facts." Whatever a Dim says about a Republican is really about themselves.

Let old Nancy be his surrogate debater. She can bring her expensive ice cream for the moderators.
Not debating delegitimizes old Joe and makes possible a big win for Trump. Sleepy Joe actually participating in the debates assures the win.

Sounds like Biden should be able to steamroll President Trump in debates.
If he's so awful, Joe should just expose that "truth."

Nice try, Nanie. But, Bite Me WILL be expected to debate Trump. In the evening, standing up, no notes or teleprompter, and face to face with Trump. If he sun downs during the debate, that's Bite Me's problem.

Nasty Nancy Pelosi has once again gotten the idea exactly b'assakwards. Trump Should Not ‘Legitimize’ Joe Biden (or paper shredding Pelosi, for that matter).

Do not debate him anywhere!

They are looking for any way to weasel out of it. As bad as things are now, they know it will only get worse if Joe Biden actually shows up on stage with Donald Trump.

Nasty Nan, there you go again. Bakkk, bakk, bakk, bakk, bakk. Chicken Nancy is showing her beet red. Embarrassment and angry red will be her colors the day after the first debate. She's scared, she's very scared. This convention has been an eye opener to the voting constituents of this country. She's going to need her $20 a quart ice cream to cool off.
Whatawitch! I cans see her pointed toes curling up every night after the convention ends. Somebody better check her pulse after PDT speaks tonight.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! TRUMPS 2020 AND BEYOND!!! Bring out Joe!!! Please, bring him out in debates. Let's see the KO each and every night!

As has been said, you'd think they'd want the debates to continue since Joe has all has faculties and Donald is 'an idiot!'

Creepy Uncle Joe Biden is old and senile. Any time he speaks off-script, he rambles on incoherently and makes no sense. If he tries to debate President Trump, his senility is going to be on a huge national stage in view of everyone. So his handlers are never going to allow him to debate. The rest of the Demon-Rats are joining in on the plot, and so expect more of this type of garbage as the next few weeks progress. And the MSM will blame it all on President Trump!
However, President Trump needs to demand time on all the major networks for debates (as has been the tradition for decades now). If Creepy Uncle Joe refuses to debate him, then President Trump gets 2 hours a pop to talk to the country on the MSM's dime about anything he wants -- especially about what a coward Creepy Uncle Joe is for not debating him!!!! That should be fun!!!

Well, there you are folks, this is the reason the democrats will use to save Biden from the embarrassment of debating the President. Frankly, I don’t care if he debates or not. We all know he is mentally incapacitated and will not be able to stand up to any questioning. The democrats know it too and they know that Biden is only a place holder that has, no doubt, been well paid to step forward and run. Harris is waiting in the wings for an opportunity that thankfully, will never come.
I am curious as to why the democrats want to go with Biden. It makes no sense but I am sure there is a sinister reason behind it.

This expected burp from the great Pelosi pairs nicely with the concurrent story that Sleepy Joe got no bounce from the Dem convention.

They KNOW that Senile Joe can no longer even attempt to debate anyone, and would be cut into ribbons by Trump in a debate.
They are scared spitless of debating.
And I have said for months that there would be no debates because Joe couldn't do it, would find SOME excuse.

Saying Biden should not legitimize Trump has 2 main problems: First, a temporal one (a guy who has served 4 years as President has already been legitimized). Second, President Trump outranks former Senator and Vice President Biden, who lacks the standing to legitimize his superior.

Princess Polygrip is shaking in her shoes. Trump will win in a landslide, you can't hide Biden's decrepitude from anyone, unless they are willfully blind or consumed with hatred for conservatives. The Dems and their supporters are all suffering from different forms of psychopathy.

It's pretty funny. Nasty Pelousy is trying to cancel President Trump. Trump doesn't need dems to legitimize him. We the People did that in 2016. Uncle Joe is a caricature of a candidate and the dems are a caricature of a party. I'm not sure what Nasty is but it's really, really ugly and stupid.
Better watch out Nasty. We all have a bucket of water and on November 3rd we are all going to throw them in your face and you will be melting, melting, melting. I can't wait to see her have to hand over her gavel. Again. It would be fun to see her hang around and be minimized even further but she will probably retire and eat gourmet ice cream.

I think I read - like yesterday - that Trump's team wants both parties (Trump and Joe) to be tested for drugs prior to the debates.
I think that is a great idea, and only fair, and important for full transparency. Perhaps, that could be the reason Nancy wants Joe to pull out of the whole thing. Or maybe not.

She is just setting the table for Biden. Chances are a couple of days before the first scheduled debate we will receive the shocking notification that Biden has tested positive for COVID and must go into quarantine thus cancelling the first debate. Following that we will hear that Biden has had some unspecified symptoms of COVID and that because of Biden’s advanced age that doctors have told Biden he will have to stay in quarantine until past the last scheduled debate, meaning that there will be no scheduled debates, how cute!
Then we will be told that Biden has made a miraculous recovery and is ready to be elected and to lead America. Unless you are really naive you should know by now that Biden is suffering from age related diminished cognitive abilities that cannot be reversed, to the point that is if elected, he would be but a “Trojan Horse” for the extreme socialist left that has taken over the old liberal Democrat Party that no longer exists.

This is all part of the next plot. The Dems don't do anything that isn't coordinated; in everything they do. Just look at all the msm using the same talking points everyday. The same buzz words reverberate all day long. In all the hearings, the same buzz words thrown out by all the demorats. The real unpublished polls show Trump leading and they are getting desperate. MAGA...

If Joe WILL NOT Debate, Trump can still debate all of Joe's PAST stupid policy statements ALREADY RECORDED on video. They play Joe's progressive babbling on any specific issue first, and then Trump responds live with sane policy showing how Joe's policies are either socialist OR stolen from Trump's already accomplished policies. At least Joe won't come up with NEW gaffes. A Joe-no-show elucidates what we have known all along about the reality of Joe's sad cognitive decline.

If Biden chooses to not debate, it will make people wonder if the claims about mental decline are true. If he does debate, Trump will run rings around him and show that the claims of Biden's mental decline are probably true. Either way, Joe Biden will not do well in any debate against Donald Trump. Nervous Nancy knows this and wants to avoid the humiliation and questions that will follow.

#28 Great idea! And absolutely fair because it will be Joe's face and his words on other side of the argument. And I bet it would get a bigger audience than if it were Joe live because it would be so different. The topics for debate would be announced beforehand by the networks and someone like Mark Zuckerberg - who will probably vote for Biden - will have all the subject material categorized so it would take a second to call it up because Zuckerberg would be so familiar with it. Win Win for everyone

I was going to suggest Pres. Trump find Clint Eastwood's chair and debate that, but #28 has the best idea yet. Let Pres. Trump debate the Memorex of Biden who was first elected to the Swamp the very same year the "Is it live, or is it Memorex?" campaign was launched nearly half a century ago. Who'll know the difference?

Perhaps #25 is right. I have long suspected that a week or so before the scheduled debate, the entire msm and dems (redundant) will be totally outraged over a Trump tweet or statement and make the decision not to debate such a lowlife cretin. It is a transparent necessity because Biden onstage that long will be worse than a drunk walking a tightrope over a volcano.

There's absolutely NO CHANCE that Biden will debate President Trump.
Here in Ohio, we already know what's going to happen in the days leading up to the planned debate in Cleveland. The Democratic rioters will arrive and start destroying the city, and then the mayor will cancel the debate.

Poster named Digger rhymes are cool but might say Nan I am.
It matters not what Biden can do if the dems name someone else in their convention whenever that is and if not already done. I haven't been following good enough to remember. *But I remembered to watch the RNC every night."
And I will vote in my state even though the president is a shoo in here - just to ass mine to the totals of popular vote. My little rain drop to make the flood roar.

This old biddy really thinks she is so clever - trying to open the door to no debates so that Slow Joe and his handlers won’t have to put up or shut up. Admit that he cannot debate.
