The second debate of Oct. 15 is officially called off. But what the press isn't emphasizing is that it was President Trump who put a stop to it, refusing to kowtow to the supposedly nonpartisan Presidential Debate Commission's demands for a virtual debate instead of a live one. According to the New York Times:
The second presidential debate was formally canceled late Friday after President Trump refused to participate in a virtual event, the latest sign of the upheaval that the coronavirus has wrought on the 2020 campaign.

This is a good thing. Lyin’ Biden is only going to lie or refuse to answer and the moderator will not call him on it or press him for an answer. The only questions asked will be intended to make President Trump look bad. At this point I don't see how Trump can gain anything from more debates.

Kenny sang about knowing when to hold and when to fold ‘em… President Trump has known that for a long time and has lived it. He has advocated walking away from bad deals and that’s what he’s done. The Paris Accord, the Iran nuke deal. When the Eeyores wobbled about his making deals with China, he told us that he would never hesitate to walk away from a deal that was bad for our country.
This debate setup was a bad deal. There have been others, and there will be mmore in the future.

And the end of the GAME is "When you actually walk out you make sure that the opponent negotiators realize with no question that you aren't walking back in"

I haven't the answer as to who appoints the commission, but I do see the appearance that the Democrats pick their people and they also pick what republicans are on the commission.

I used to wonder why Republicans tolerated the obvious bias. The answer was always that ''we need to show the voters how biased the left is.''
Well, at his point in time we already know, without any doubt or misgivings, that the democrats and their commission are utterly and undeniably biased- to the point of insanity!
President Trump had nothing to gain by another ''debate'' in any form, under the current process, so he walked away. He can now get his message out in his own way, in spite of the media's interference!

Presidential debates have been bias for years now. It’s the continuing manipulation of the voters. Maybe exposing the blatant bias will help change it? Remember when Newt challenged The premise of almost every question in 2012. Here we are 8 years later and the corrupt press has doubled and tripled down.

Bias aside...why give Biden any more exposure? if he's too damn weak/lazy to get out to campaign, leave him to his own devices to connect with voters. In the meantime, plenty of airports out there...

Tell Slow Joe that there will be an opportunity to debate in a week, in person. Trump picks the person to question Biden, Biden picks a person to question Trump.
Take it or leave it. The debate commission is a crock, ignore them.

The Presidential Debate Commission is a fraud filled with far-left ideologues and McCain/Soros Trump-hating super RINOs
No GOP should EVER allow freedom to be debased by doing business with these frauds.

Like with the White House Correspondents' Dinnner, liberals overplayed their hand and forgot that Trump didn't have to play along.
