Trump minions Chris LaCivita and Susan Wiles on Thursday formally demanded the Commission on Presidential Debates schedule more and earlier face-offs between their Orange God Emperor and President Biden, writing in a letter to co-chairs Frank Fahrenkopf Jr and Antonia Hernandez that “in 2020, the Commission ceded to the wishes of the Biden campaign on every front, refusing to move up the dates of the debates, failing to reschedule the debate canceled by COVID-19 [that was Trump’s fault], cutting off President Trump’s microphone over and over [also Trump’s fault and the mute button applied to Biden too] in the middle of a debate, and in the case of the first debate, selecting a demonstrably anti-Trump moderator clearly positioned to aid Joe Biden [lol].”
“Fairness in such a setting is paramount and the Commission must ensure that the 2024 Commission-sponsored debates are truly fair and conducted impartially. The Commission must move up the timetable of its proposed 2024 debates to ensure more Americans have a full chance to see the candidates before they start voting, and we would argue for adding more debates in addition to those on the currently proposed schedule. We have already indicated President Trump is willing to debate anytime, anyplace, and anywhere – and the time to start these debates is now.”
Doesn’t really feel like they’re in a position to demand any conditions right now if they’re also demanding more debates. Again we have to point out that pushing for more debates simply isn’t what leading campaigns do (look no further than Trump having completely fucked off from every one of the GOP primary face-offs). Now we’re not trying to get ahead of our skis here, but maybe Trump and his scumbags know something we don’t. Maybe their private internal polling is saying something different than what all the MSM horserace polls are saying. Why else are they so thristy?
