And now Hannity is suggesting that Trump skip the first debate.

Only because Turnip is telling them to "suggest" it. He is preparing the magats for him chickening out, and telling them to regard it as him being a fighter and brave.

I am still leaning towards tfg will cancel.There will be no opening statements. President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump will each have two minutes to answer questions — followed by one-minute rebuttals and responses to the rebuttals. Red lights visible to the candidates will flash when they have five seconds left, and turn solid red when time has expired. And each man’s microphone will be muted when it is not his turn to speak.
The candidates will get a breather during two commercial breaks, according to debate rules provided by CNN, but they will be barred from huddling with advisers while off the air. The first presidential debate of the 2024 cycle is less than two weeks away, and both campaigns are racing to prepare for the first showdown sponsored directly by a television network in more than a generation.![]()

He will cancel. He isn't going to follow anybody else's rules.

Once he sees the part about muting the mics he'll be a hard "no" I'm guessing.

New rule:
If a candy date starts rambling or talking crazy, CNN will put his mic on tremolo or something else that will be weird sound effects to go with the weird thinking. Sound effects from a cheesy and terrible movie about outer space and rocket ships. Oooooooeeeeeeeeeooooooo ...
Change approved!

The rules make no mention of a physical leash to keep the OSG from wandering around the stage behind Biden. IMHO, that is a necessity.neonzx wrote: ↑Sat Jun 15, 2024 8:27 am From NY Times

There is also no mention of a rule preventing OHJB from decking TFG if he does.

Yeah, he has just four shopping days left for him to panic and drop out of the debate. Or show up and try to break all the rules. MN-Skeptic, can I add a poll to this thread about whether he will appear or not (and maybe some fun options for how he'll behave)?

Yay! Thank you Foggy. I'm getting a sense they're really trying to push the Biden drug narrative ahead of time, in case he does win the debate. I see Fox is doing their own simulcast, I assume to keep the faithful away from MSM and can spin it to their narrative.

As with everything the Rs touch, it is excruciatingly obvious that they'll explain that Biden was drugged so he could perform better.Kendra wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 12:53 pm Yay! Thank you Foggy.

Excruciatingly obvious in opposite world, at any rate.

I forget. During past debates, did they address the incumbent as Mr. President?
This could be a sore spot with the Trunip.

I can't imagine that Trump's ego would let him drop out. He truly believes he's smarter and more popular than Biden. He believes he has the best words, the best arguments. He thinks he's brilliant. Which is also why he'll make up excuses for any positive reviews that Biden may get.

Why make up excuses when you can just lie through your teeth and get away with it?
If you can't lie to yourself, who can you lie to?

That's the thing about Narcissists. deep down he does not believe all that. Deep down they know they are losers, they are just terrified of people feeing inside them to the inner loser. So all their bluster, all their meddling, is to cover that up. They are motivated by fear and shame.
Once you understand that, their crazy behaviour makes a lot of sense. When they hire a manager and that manager starts running the company well, they suddenly get terrified that people will compare them to the Narcissist and he will look bad. So the narcissist will jump in and start micromanaging the good manager
That's why Turnip never used the official presidential twitter account. He knew that his blathering would be compared with the writing of other presidents, and he would look bad. So he stayed away from it.
That's why he turned meetings into Him talking and everyone else praising him. he know he had nothing competent to contribute, and everyone else would look good as they knew what they were talking about. SO he would jump in and have everyone trying to talk him out of something ridiculous, rather than have them put up good plans that risked him looking like he was the lesser guy in the room.
That's why he wears that stupid combover because its better than letting people see that he is bald therefore genetically inferior.
And in this case he knows that Biden is a strong confident man and wont give a crap about Turnip's insults. And he knows Biden will look better than him, like he did the last 2 times they had a debate.
So ya, he is constantly trying to drown out the voice in his head that tells him he is a loser. Once you understand that, then what he does is predictable and boring. He is the Emperors new clothes

“It’s embarrassing that I have to do this, and it’s really embarrassing as a former White House physician to have to do something like this, but we don’t have any choice based on what’s going on.
“But I’m gonna be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs.
“He’s not similar at all to what we see on a day-to-day basis for the last three and a half years. And there’s surely no way to explain that other than he was on something, that they’d given him medication.” – Rep. Ronny Jackson, today on Fox News.
