That's weird, a poster on this very thread said there would be no way to impact the candidates performance because the event would be LIVE.
Wrong then, wrong now.
Wrong then, wrong now.
Trump will tell us what happened after it or even during it but of course they'll say he's not telling the truth. I hope there's somebody in the wings filming this *****MouthBQ98 said:
So, no witnesses if there are real time edits applied to delay footage during a "camera angle switch" or some such to conceal an awkward pause or something like that?
What was the length of Mitch McConnell's longest bios failure and subsequent reboot? I think two minutes should cover it.MouthBQ98 said:

This is false. The debate will begin live at 9pm ET.

I like 2 big changes to this year's debate.
1. The opponents mic will be on mute while the other one answers the question.
2. There will be fact-checking done on the fly as each candidate answers the question.
I approve!
Of course they did. How will anyone know if there's a delay or not if no non-CNN people are in the building??aggiehawg said:

FWIW.

President Biden's campaign repeatedly dodged answering a point-blank question about whether Biden plans to take any drugs to enhance his performance during the CNN Presidential Debate on Thursday evening
Quote:
The Biden campaign twice avoided a direct answer to the question.
"Donald Trump is so scared of being held accountable for his toxic agenda of attacking reproductive
freedom and cutting Social Security that he and his allies are resorting to desperate, obviously false lies," Biden campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt told Fox News Digital on Wednesday evening.
Quote:
In contrast, the Trump campaign issued a direct response when asked if Trump planned to take any performance-enhancing drugs for the debate.
Absolutely not," Trump campaign national press secretary Karolina Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
She added, "President Trump has naturally elite stamina and doesn't need performance-enhancing drugs, unlike Joe Biden, who many are saying will be drugged up for the debate like he was at the State of the Union. President Trump has repeatedly asked Joe Biden to participate in drug testing. What does Team Biden have to hide?"
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-camp-dodges-answering-president-plans-use-performance-enhancing-drugs-before-debateQuote:
Still, Trump has challenged Biden to take a drug test before the Thursday night debate,previously suggesting that Biden uses substances to enhance his cognitive functioning. Trump, when issuing his challenge to Biden, volunteered to also take a drug test.
Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who is now a Republican congressman representing Texas, has also called on Biden to take a pre-debate drug test. Jackson cited the dozens of lawmakers and administration officials who described Biden as losing his mental edge in interviews for a recent bombshell Wall Street Journal report.
I don't think I believe them. But at this point who knows. We know they're already going to cover up for Biden anyway they can and restrict Trump anyway they can.aggiehawg said:

We already know Trump is going to wipe the floor with him, especially with the muted mike rule. The question is going to be does Biden stay alive the entire time?
If he starts losing so badly, don't be shocked if he fakes some sort of medical episode. That's what their plan is obviously.
I know but trying to be as fair as possible here. They denied it, so I posted it. I do think that if there are some delay, we'll be able to see it if they are only using three cameras. Not sure I believe that either.Quote:

Is this how they get rid of Biden?

Hearing Biden is refusing to take a drug test that Trump agreed to. No surprise there….
A medical emergency, real or faked, would effectively end his campaign IMO.theeyetest said:

The president of the White House Correspondents' Association has offered a scathing response to CNN, the network hosting the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election, deciding against permitting reporters traveling with President Joe Biden into the studio for his historic head-to-head matchup former President Donald Trump.
"WHCA has been informed that one print reporter will be permitted to enter the studio during a commercial break to briefly observe the setting," WHCA President Kelly O'Donnell, of NBC News, wrote in a statement Thursday. "That is not sufficient in our view and diminishes a core principle of presidential coverage.
LINKQuote:
"The White House pool has a duty to document, report, and witness the president's events and his movements on behalf of the American people," O'Donnell said. "The pool is there for the 'what ifs' in a world where the unexpected does happen. A pool reporter is present to provide context and insight by direct observation and not through the lens of the television production. … The pool reporter works on behalf of the entire White House press corps. Print pool reports are an important part of the historical record."
O'Donnell confirmed that both the Biden and Trump campaigns were open to having a pool reporter in the room, though the former president has his own rotation of journalists who travel with him.
See the bolded part.... They expect him to crap his pants. Hahahahaaggiehawg said:Quote:

Trump needs f with Biden while muted. Ask Biden if he touched his daughter when showering with her. Ask if he ever smoked crack with his son. Say the most absurd things while Biden is trying to provide a coherent response talking into the camera. The best part is that no one but Biden and moderators will know what Trump is doing. To the rest of the world Biden will just look flustered.
