And here’s one more technicality about scheduling an early debate: If the debate is a complete debacle for one of them, each party technically has time and a process to change nominees. After all, this first debate will take place before either candidate is the official nominee of their party.

But the scenario I’m wondering about most is one that I’m not sure either campaign has fully considered. It’s the possibility that the country will simply hate what it sees, period. If the debate is two old guys cursing at each other — which nearly happened in the debates four years ago — voters could find themselves even more depressed about their choices for the fall. And it’s impossible to say how the butterfly effect afterward would play out.

    This is why no one takes you seriously. You say bad faith nonsense like this and then accuse reasonable people of shouting you down or plugging their ears for calling you out.

      • Why? I might as well set a reminder to become Batman. It’s clearly not based in reality. You offer zero proof or reasoning behind your claims.

        If you truly believe they are going to replace the incumbent candidate for president 3 months before the election, I don’t know what to tell you, you need a better understanding of US politics and how this stuff works.

        But I don’t think you believe that. You’re constantly looking for ways to depress support for Biden and this is just another tactic. You don’t engage in good faith so there’s no reason to give you the benefit of doubt.
