So When...

trump is not the nominee yet. In July, at the Republican Convention, in theory, trump will become the nominee. At that point, normally the two nominees would start arranging the debate through the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates.

trump pushed the Republicans(or party of trump as they have become) to cancel all future debates. trump does not do well in debates.

I certainly hope you are wrong when you say "never", but it really is for trump to decide. If trump refuses to debate, that is one more reason for Americans not to vote for him.

It is not up to trump. Biden will choose not to debate a buffoon who cannot even discuss foreign/domestic policies.

trump is the one who is begging Biden for a debate.

Let him get on his knees.

Agreed on your timetable. That said, given Trump's behavior at other debates, it would be smart to have some strict rules in place including a microphone cutoff switch.

In fact, that should be Biden's requirements; a strict format and oversight. Normal people would accept, but Pedo Don doesn't like following rules of any sort including abiding by his oath.

Biden would be a fool to waste his time.

Unless, as you say, there are very strict rules in place.

All of which will be broken by trump, but a mike cutoff switch will help.

I would demand real time factchecking of all claims.

No one will criticize Biden for not debating Trump. Trump never debates, he just blathers and violates all the rules of the debate.

Exactly. The differences between the two candidates are clear. Nothing more needs to be 'debated'.

Last time there was a debate between them, trump called out to terrorists to 'stand by' on national t.v..

He was plotting the attack on the Capitol months in advance.

Good point. Trump will use the debate to signal to Putin how to attack the US or some other call for violence.

He does that privately. He'll use the debate to incite another terrorist attack, and encourage armed terrorists to block voters from being able to participate in the election.

"Russia, if you're listening...." They were. Hours later they broke into Hillary's private email account and sent them to Trump.

The MAGAts will continue to call him a demented chickenshit if he doesn't debate Trump. Fuck them. The problem for Biden is to persuade the Independents and those on the fence as to why Biden doesn't debate or, better IMO, what reasonable rules and timetable Biden sets for a debate. Even if Trump refuses, the ball would be in his court.

This is like the immigration bill. It was bipartisan and the Democrats gave up a lot in order to give Biden an edge. Trump would rather have nothing than hand a partial win to Biden so he tanked the bill. The ball was in the Republicans court and they dropped it. They can bitch as much as they like about illegals, but reasonable people now understand the reason there is no immigration bill is because Trump ordered it killed. Same goes for a reasonable offer for debate.

The Russians had already broken into both Democratic and Republican Party member emails. Putin may have hinted about this to candidate Trump which is why Pedo Don made his statement.

Biden and Trump are not officially the nominees until the conventions end.

You are afraid to have him debate as well, I see. I get that. Losing to a guy who speaks at the level of a fourth grader would be embarrassing. I wonder if we will see Kennedy at the debates...

Calling someone afraid when the traditional time for a debate is October is simply silly.

As silly as pretending that the S.Ct. claimed Criminal Due Process was required for the 14th to Apply.

I didn't get you banned, dumbass. You violated the rules and got caught cheating. You're old enough to know better. Why are you so wimpy that you won't man up and admit it? Is it the alcohol that has weakened your spine? The drugs?[/QUOTEbscbDude. Of course you did not get me banned from an obscure political board. That is how insignificant in life you are. Never served wimp. Democrat of course.
