Trump Claims He Will Debate Biden 'ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE'

Yea, Timmy. Wanna fight after school? Wait, you do? Well, I would, but my mommy said I can't.
- Oh, the Elon method?

Remember when Musk and Zuckerberg were gonna fight? Feels a lot like that, but older and somehow even less interesting.
- I’m old enough to remember that we had actual debates between opposing candidates, but I’m in my 40s and not interesting
  
  Yep. I remember the McCain vs Obama debates. I remember thinking their policies were pretty similar, and either would probably govern decently enough. I wasn't a Dem or Rep, though I had voted mostly blue thus far.
  But then McCain picked Palin as his running mate, and I saw the VP debates. And holy shit did that make the choice easy, and Red has just been getting more and more extreme ever since.
- And, somehow, even more embarrassing.

I have a proposal...
- Ok this made me bust out laughing. Well played.
- A modest proposal even
  
  I hear it uses cheap off the shelf parts.
- I'd not seen that out of the water and it straight up looks like a pocket pussy.
  
  Only dicks go inside.

Anywhere? Okay, how about at the bottom of the Mariana trench?
- can we leave them there? I now we shouldn't litter, but it's for a good cause.
  
  It's ok they're mostly biodegradable. Mostly.
- C'mon man. You know only one would show up.
- Venus? Neptune? Alpha Centauri?
- How about at the top or bottom of a ramp. Can he still do that? Amazing man.

No debate unless trump agrees to mic cut off after turns
- Every interruption means he has to hug Eric.
  
  Cruel and unusual punishment. For Eric.
- No television would agree to this. TV in the US is strictly for entertainment only.

by debate he means he will childishly shout over anyone he's on stage with constant bullshit and juvenile rhetoric - no thanks. having seen trump in debates I honestly question anyone silly enough to try, he'll never 'debate', he just gish gallops bullshit until his minders come to change his diapers.

So this means he's Definitely refusing to debate him. What a shit. Murica, you vote this guy in and I think I'm all out of sympathy.
- Trump loving America is not the majority of America. It's not even half. It's just the "voting age" almost-halfz which is what, 30% of all Americans?
  The reason Trump won in 2016 is because many people who didn't like Hilary didn't vote. And even so, Hilary got 2 million more votes than Trump.
  Then Trump lost to Biden. If he was so popular, he would have won a second term.
  So, no. Please don't think that the majority of Americans are deplorables.
  
  But what does all that count for when people are busier finding excuses to not vote for Biden than to vote against the orange Putin?
  
  I don't think that, but a trump win means not enough people with half a brain got out and voted. In an election like this that makes you every bit as deplorable as the Trump lovers.
  Not everyone in Soddom and Gomerra were terrible, but when enough fruits are sour you gotta just avoid the whole batch.
  
  Yet you (America) still vote this guy in. Somethings rotten and wrong over there and you guys better figure it out.
- Dude it's not me, it's them. There's a weird division in this country and for some reason there are people on the other side.
  
  Bro I'm a leftist and I'm voting for Trump this time. If you want to win, don't run a genocider. Myself and other leftists have a few very hard and fast rules, and genocide is one of them. Id rather have J6 #2 than trail of tears #2

He's lying. He wouldn't do it if it was moderated by Jon Stewart or Mehdi Hasan.
- I would pay money to see Jon Stewart moderate a debate. I mean seriously, like pay per view.
  
  As much as I like Jon Stewart I think Colbert would be a better moderator.
- ...or anyone who's not on his side or a "both-sider".
- Bold of you to assume he understands what a debate is.
- There's zero chance his handlers will let him debate anyone, let alone Biden. I'm not saying Biden is fantastic or anything, it's just that Trump is unable to string coherent thoughts together anymore. It's never been his forté, but these days? Sheesh. Dude's not making any sense at all and can barely read from the teleprompter. Intelligently coming up with retorts on the fly in a debate? I doubt he'll even understand why Obama's suddenly an elderly white guy.
- If Mehdi Hasan did it they both wouldn't show up.

And yet he cowardly backed away from a debate with Sanders
- Trump didn't want that Bernie heat
  
  Communist Grandpa > Moderate Grandpa > Fascist Grandpa
  HERE'S HOW BWRNIE CAN STILL WIN
- He's cowardly backed away from all debates. Him saying this doesn't mean this has changed. It's just posturing. He never would have an actual fair head-to-head debate with Biden. He'll either say anything fair is unfair so he won't participate or hell say he can't make it for some reason.

Gay bar. Do it.

- The Blue Oyster Salad Bar theme song for the music

Trump doesn't debate anyone ever. He shows up and steamrolls the other person with his version of reality.
And when he's done, he flips the table, shits on it, and then declares victory...
...and his base fucking eats it up with a -smile.-
It's baffling.
- The kind of people that eat up his “debating” style are people who treat the idea of an open debate of concepts the same way - that is to say that they’d be flipping tables and shitting everywhere themselves. They’re uneducated and hold unqualified and unjustifiable positions, and the only way to maintain those positions is to simply ignore or reject all rhetoric to the contrary.
  They eat it up because that’s exactly how they’d act when faced with reason, logic, facts or statistics.
  
  That's what really throws me for a loop. There are a lot of dumb people that think he's smart, but there are also a lot of smart people that buy into it too... Is fear really that powerful? It is, I know... But damn...
- He debated Biden and got crushed.
  
  But were they debates? Can we really call them that?
  I know that's what the forum called for, but I saw zero debating.
  Jerry Springer episodes had more debating going on.

Anywhere AND anyplace? Stable genius. Given his bouts with slurring and dementia I'd like to see him get shredded by Biden.
- Sure makes me glad I'm not the only one that thought he said the same thing twice.
- Nobody wants to see 2 old men ramble incoherently at each other. Right now trump is the more cognitively capable of the 2, unfortunately. Though it's certainly close.
  
  No way dude. Biden's always had the speech thing. Trump has recently gotten even worse than usual. Called his wife Mercedes. Called Biden Obama. Decided to run for president.

Underoath in a court room?

I'm baffled that the republicans thought putting a senile proven fraudster, insurrectionist and sexual predator with a bunch of pending court cases against him was a good idea..
- "One of us! One of us!"
- (senile)
- it's gonna be extra hilarious when he wins. (Note...I don't live in the states)
  
  If Trump wins, grab your ankles, The USA has 2 major exports, Culture and Problems.
  
  I'm not from the US either but I can't deal with that piece of shit. If he wins, I'm getting a dumbphone and give up on the internet and any other form of news.

Except you know, in real life

Ok. On the treadmill, at the gym.

If Biden does debate Trump, he needs to hit Trump with his rape conviction AND the $83 M judgement, tax evasion by fraud that will cost Trump another $450 M, and the multitude of civil suits that are coming. Being president does not affect civil lawsuits. And when Trump loses AGAIN, he is looking at years of prison, at the absolute minimum sentences. Hit Trump again and again for always being a loser. Remember how Obama roasted Trump? Biden can remind Trump how he was owned by Obama. Biden needs to hit Trump with the volcano roast. Trump is an emotional baby. Once Trump gets overwrought, he will be a babbling a word salad of gibberish.

How about a fucking nursing home and they can both stay there when it's over.

"at the end of this kind of long hallway"

This is the first time I've truly not cared at all about whether or not there is a presidential debate
- Any debate with Trump in it is a farce. He just tries to interrupt, talk over, and talk louder than his opponent. It's all part of his faux-macho "establish dominance" strategy, just like when he pulls people toward him when he shakes their hand to knock them off balance. Remember the Gorsuch handshake?
- Yeah, I always try to watch the debates, always. I'm a big fun of the democratic process, and I always like to try and give the candidates a chance to make their case, even if I know I probably won't vote for them. But you're right, I really don't give a crap about the debate. It's just going to be a globally publicized shit show, nothing productive is going to come out of it, and it's not going to change my mind. There's nothing Trump can realistically say that will get me to vote for him, and I'd, very seriously, sooner have Vermin Supreme for president before Trump.
- Its going to be the best bit.. watching trump spew some insane bullshit then see him smacked down using his own track record. Delicious.

That would be great if he was actually able to debate. Instead, he'll interrupt and yell, sling insults, and not answer any questions. Biden should 100% not debate him. He should say "I'm not going to debate with a felon, or anyone that is responsible for an insurrection"
- Oh, Biden should agree to debate. But with rules to cut Trump’s mic when it isn’t his turn to talk.
  Trump would never agree to that.
  
  Then the problem becomes "The evil dems wouldn't even let me talk, they just cut my mic. I couldn't say anything" Aaaaaand his cult shines up their pitchforks.

Sweet Jesus. After watching the SotU Address, Biden is going to mop the floor with this schmuck.
- Regardless of how the debate goes, Trump supporters will already defend his performance and conservative media will talk about how Trump dominated and humiliated Biden.
  Tbf, Biden supporters will probably do something similar.
  We are in an awkward position where the opponents are so polarized that debates and discourse does very little to sway the bases. And the so called undecided votes have such eclectic criteria that it makes it difficult to pin down what they really want.
  
  difficult to pin down what they really want
  They want to vote for Trump and not have to tell anyone they did. It's why Trump won in 2016 despite the polling.
- "No. Wrong. No. Mexicans. CHY-na."
  Orange supporters declare victory as dear leader stands strong
- You could do just that, but it won't make any difference for the GOP base. Biden can debate logically and factually For hours tearing down any bullshit uttered. They'll still claim they won.
  
  Good old pigeon playing chess.

I really want Biden to start punching. He should make a video of Jill hugging him and look at the camera and say “Donald, that’s what they do when they love you.”

Invite that dumbass to a debate and spring a geography and US history test on him. It'll be hilarious.
- He'll just yell and talk over anything anyone says. It doesn't matter what you bring to the table.
  
  You'd just need a moderator and TV network with enough balls to shut it down if he steps out of line. So, short answer, you're right. It would never work.

46 should know not to debate 45 because 45 is an idiot.
Never get into arguments with idiots, the will drag you down to their level and beat you with expirence.
Besides, we havent had a real debate since the advent of cable TV... Just dont bother of your not in it for the spectacle.
- Oh my God, can you imagine a trump and Biden debate now? Trump just making shit up lying incoherently talking. Biden returning fire but no one knowing what the fuck he's saying through the murmuring. Trump responding to things that he thinks Biden said because he can't understand him. Biden returns with more murmuring.
  Part of me wants it to happen for the memes.
  
  Shane Gillis actually did a good bit on this, and how it actually works in Biden's favor
  https://youtube.com/shorts/S80iKh1Ar_c?si=IeaYsEWUDZE1HkGW

Trump lost every debate he has been in. Biden needs to get Trump to agree to 3 debates right now.
- Yeah... Idk what is to be gained from this.
  Trump: YOU'RE A COMMUNIST! HUNTER BIDEN! GINA GINA CHHHHHIIIINNNNNAAAA!
  Biden: Wha-
  Trump: YOURE A COMMUNIST OBAMA! NANCY PELOSI AND HUNTER BIDEN! BIDEN CRIME FAMILY!
  Biden: Will you ju-
  Trump: THE BORDER! AWFUL BORDER! COCKROACHS! HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG! NANCY PELOSI!
  Biden: Oh for Christ-
  Trump: BIDEN FAILING ECONOMY! UKRANE NAZIS! I LOVE PUTINS DICK IN MY MOUTH!!
  Biden: Excuse me?
  
  I mean, exactly? That is what would be gained. Independents and Haley voters would watch that and hate it and it would help Biden.
  
  THE RADICAL LEFT THUGS! THE MARXIST, COMMUNIST, FASCIST DEMOCRATS!
- Disagree. A Trump/Biden debate probably doesn't move the needle much at all for anybody. Trump's brash refusal to debate with civility looks as good to his base as it looks bad to Biden's. I don't see a point. It only gives Trump air time he doesn't deserve.
  
  The people who love Trump debates love them because that is how they debate at family dinner. Biden supporters hate Trump debates because it reminds them of the dinner table debates they had to deal with.

... except for the third debate in 2020

May I suggest the humble Four Seasons? Would be great if we could Rudy Giuliani to serve refreshments to the audience.
- They should have a bunch of red containers in there that hold a wonderful drink for all the Republicans to have.
- Good idea. I've heard that it's a very respectable venue.

US-American presidential race finally becomes what it was always meant to be - a WWE match.

The center of an active volcano sometime before November

Biden should decline. It's the winning move. Remember the last debates Trump did? Yeah, those weren't good for anyone. Just let trump keep getting amped up about it then decline. It's when he gets cocky and starts calling Biden scared he should go with the sole purpose of dunking on Trump. Dont talk to the American people. Just dunk on trump.
Thnk you for reading my fan fic.

The orange pathological has a shit load of lies that nobody could possibly keep up with
- Even if they had real-time fact checkers their heads would explode.

The pit of a volcano

He cannot debate. He yells. Acts as a rotten child. There is no benefit to Biden.

Pretty sure Trump still has an arrest warrant in Iraq.
- He could be sent straight to the Hague right now to stand trial for crimes against humanity if the US would just recognize the authority of the court. Separating parents from their children is an act of genocide, and last time I checked the penalty for genocide was death. He clearly did that shit. It's funny how recognizing the legitimacy of the world court would just instantly remove one of the world's biggest problems.
  
  It's funny how recognizing the legitimacy of the world court would just instantly remove one of the world's biggest problems.
  I remember saying this about George W twenty years ago.

Biden should not be debating seditious criminals.

Alright so we should get him to show up to a live interview on something and ask him the question, have biden in the back come out right then...
- "what's this?! It's Joe Biden! And he has a Steel Chair!!!"
  
  Lol exactly. Trump voters would have such mixed emotions

'debate'

Debate deez nuts

If it were sanctioned by the league of women voters I'd be happy, otherwise not really worth it

"Old men yell at each other, both believing their opponent is a cloud."
I'm voting Biden to attempt to stave off the fascist, but having 2 senile men argue with each other would be entertaining to say the least.
Just let them both sit and have little snacks and Ensures available during it, no need for elder abuse.
- It's pretty disheartening that there's apparently no one in either party within the span of decades of eligible age they can put forward as leaders.
  The nosedive of democracy in action.
  
  There are leaders available. You have to help find them. Right now you're just sitting there, having tried nothing, and you're all out of ideas.

[x] doubt

Haven't we heard this before like 20 times... And he never follows through.
- Yeah, I read the headline and immediately thought, "Huh, looks like there won't be any debates this cycle." The more strongly he claims something, the less likely he's telling the truth. That strong of a statement makes me think he has no intention of participating in a debate.

At public hearing of Hunter Biden. Get it all over with. Let the man speak.

Tomorrow night, my bathroom. Let's go!

Yeah right!
Also have y’all seen this fukin sheet 🤦‍♂️
alt-text: screenshot from RCP source showing an orange criminal is polling better than our president
- The only poll that matters is the election. Get out there and vote, America!
  
  Is it dangerous to share polls (will it discourage voting)?
- Lol. People are betting on Obama to win? People are idiots.
  It doesn't matter what these polls show. Georgia has two progressive Democratic Senators and this shows Trump leading by 6% there! That's obviously wrong. Nevada is not going to vote for Trump by 8%. They voted for Biden by 2%! It wasn't even close.
  Polls mean nothing now because there's no reason for Biden voters to answer that phone call. Trump voters want to shout "Trump!" to anyone who'll listen. Biden voters don't need to be heard because their ego isn't wrapped up in their choice.
  It's true Biden is down in "approval ratings", but that doesn't mean those people are voting for a Republican. A large part of them probably want a progressive instead. Biden can lose the "approval" popularity contest and still win the election, because the other choice is so bad.
  
  I mean, while it isn't true whether these are likely voters, registered voters, adults, etc. and there were polling errors in 2020, it's definitely possible that if the election were held today, Trump would win. RCP leans a bit conservative, and are probably overestimating Trump, but it might not be enough to change the outcome.
  That said, it's probably true that a few percentage point swings in a few key states could move the election back towards a Biden win. Six months enough time, but it'll take work to get there.
  There's no option to fix major issues on the ballot, and there may never be, but we can slow them from getting worse, and express ourselves politically outside of voting

Just not in a CPD-moderated forum.

Bring it.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump is only a few hundred delegates away from securing the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and after a dominating performance on Super Tuesday and the withdrawal of his last GOP opponent, Nikki Haley, Trump really, really, wants to debate President Joe Biden — or so he claims.
“It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People.
Trump’s debate-me fever is a stark reversal from his recent position on debating his political opponents.
Throughout the Republican primaries, Trump outright refused to participate in the debates hosted by the Republican National Committee, instead holding competing rallies and airing an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson at the same time his rivals took the stage.
Now that his nomination at the July RNC convention is all but guaranteed, Trump is quickly shifting into general-election mode and wants to get in Biden’s face as soon as he can.
Jean-Pierre did not confirm if Biden would be participating in the traditional pre-election presidential debates, and directed questions about the matter to the president’s campaign.
The original article contains 374 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The man is the head of a semi-terrorist organization of weaponized autism, a debate is his goal because his supporters don't gaf what he says

Biden is so slow, he would never even get to speak. The other old moron would just yell delusional nonsense non-stop.
The fucking clash of the farts that should be in special care.
EDIT: to any US people thinking both sides bad: Biden is a functional old man, Trump is a christo-fascist moron who will rip the US from the international community. Also an old man.
- Will you shut up, man.
