Carville says the odds are 50/50 Trump will show up. I'm thinking it's a little higher, but I figured I'd ask what SW thinks

oh no...Trump is chomping at the bit to show just how demented and senile Biden really is. That is a fact. Trump wanted the debates. i bet Biden has flash cards, a handler and a teleprompter not to mention easy questions. It is skewed but you can bet Trump will be there.
@akindheart Hopefully the rules also also shut off the moderators' mic once the question is asked, and the candidate has exclusive use of the time for the answer.

I personally don't like these debates. We're trying to pick a president, not a talk show host. The CEOs of CBS, ABC, etc. aren't selected on their performances in stand-up debates, they are selected because the stockholders thing they can best run a TV network. We are the stockholder of the USA, and we are trying to pick someone we think can best run the executive part of federal government.

Oh ... and I think all 3 should have the questions beforehand, so they can take their time to put forth their best answers. These debates are too much like a quick-draw contest where loaded questions are designed by biased moderators in hope that the candidate they don't like will shoot him/her-self in the foot.
@Heartlander Did Kennedy make the cut?

@Heartlander you are correct. not to mention everyone knows that Tapper and trump hate each other. it was not fair from the get go when CNN was in charge of the debates. trump just needs to hold his temper.
@MistyCee I hope he makes it. He has good comments though I don't think he will be able to get more than a flicker of attention.
@akindheart Yep. All e has to do is act presidential and limit his jabs at the moderators to 10% or less of his time. An use the words "we" and "us" more than "I" and "me" :)

@Heartlander true. i just saw him in person last week. he started out positive and went for the jabs.
