Trump is afraid of a debate in which he cannot break the rules he said he would abide by.
No, Trump is afraid to debate because he's a fu-cking moron and will lose in any normally moderated debate. He, like most of the GOP and it's base, think a lie is a suitable replacement for an argument. That's the kind of thing that makes sense to morons.

But at the same time, Trump knows that doesn't work with people who think. At least, at some primal lizard brain level of thinking (the best he can achieve), he gets it.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Yes, because Biden never broke a rule; or interrupted; or ran over his allotted time - geez your belly is full of that kool-aid.

Two separate town hall's tonight. One for Biden. One for Trump. Because that's how dysfunctional Trump really is. He can't hack it.

So be it.
Um, Biden is the one afraid to debate in person.

If I recall Biden started well, but once he realized Trump would not follow the rules or STFU, I suspect he didn't see any need to follow rules Trump would not. Now certainly politicians are not perfect in their behavior in debate, but none come close to Trump. and you know it. I suspect you and ajax like that he will not obey the rules with democrats.

Ok, so now if Biden broke the rules that was Trump’s fault - yep your argument keeps getting better.
Keep sliding that goalpost.

Did you even watch that "debate"? It was blazingly obvious that Trump was the worst offender and rule breaker. About the only way Biden managed to get a word in edgewise was to try to interrupt and shout over one of Trump's interruptions of Biden! Clearly, Trump was the bully there!

Of course he didn't watch the debate. He's bluffing. He hasn't followed Biden's interviews, speeches, debates or town halls. He spitballs his way through everything these days. He's probably always done it.

I have no idea why anyone wastes time replying to him and I encourage you all to stop making feel like what he says matters. It doesn't. He's not even a good at trolling which is all he's trying to do here.

Don't take the troll bait.

ABC is keeping silent amid growing criticism of its town hall with Joe Biden after two of the attendees who asked the Democratic nominee questions were identified as an Obama speechwriter and the wife of a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat.

One of the questioners was Nathan Osburn, who worked for the Office of Public Affairs at the Commerce Department under the Obama-Biden administration and at the Small Business Administration.
