Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Expectations for a CNN debate moderated by veteran media hacks should be set as low as possible even if one of the candidates had become largely incapable of coherently communicating, but this is still a tell.
When you understand that no audience, even a CNN audience, will be your personal Arsenio Hall dog pound, the whole idea that you’re popular with anyone goes up in smoke.
President Joe Biden’s advisers… resolved in private that if Biden ever faced Trump on a debate stage, there would be no one in the peanut gallery.
That demand became part of the reelection campaign’s agreed-upon proposal to Trump this week for their two general election debates, one in June the other in September. An empty TV studio could, Biden aides feel, deprive their GOP rival of a major advantage when they face off.
“Trump feeds off the crowd, they give him life,” said one Biden adviser who was granted anonymity in order to discuss internal strategy. “We wanted to take that away.”
And that may be the real issue.
There were audiences at previous debates and the proceedings didn’t devolve into the Arsenio Hall Show. But the real issue is that some performers feed off an audience’s energy, which Trump clearly does, while others perform better in a closed environment. Personally, I do better in front of audiences. An audience can be intimidating which is why so many people reportedly have a fear of public speaking, but it also has an energy. Within that energy, I feel flat when speaking. Does Biden do better in front of audiences or in closed rooms?
We’re working with a pretty low bar here, but Biden seems better able to pull off a speech if he’s got a teleprompter and a closed set. That may have less to do with his speaking style as he likes audiences, the trouble is they seem to distract him and he starts randomly making things up or spouting gibberish. Give him the right meds and a prepared speech and the results are going to be less random and cringe-inducing.
And yet I suspect that matters less.
Biden isn’t really running for office, despite being an incumbent, he’s running against someone, Trump, not for anything. No one expects much from him and all they can hope for is to weaken Trump. And so no audience.
A Albatross will also always make Crash lands but at least they can walk away un scathed Biden is getting ready to Crash and Burn
Well, he won’t have to worry about an audience…
He demanded CNN be the venue and there is NO ONE who even bothers to tune in to that network…
Relax Joe…your wishes are fulfilled.
Now mine…I hope Trump defeats him in the biggest blowout election victory of all time.
not true! there are millions of brain dead, left nut woketards that tune in every day to swallow their lies, deceit, and propaganda. remember, dementia addled joey “bite-me” got over 80 millions votes in 2020 and will probably get over a billion in 2024.

Joe Biden has advocated for a collectivist “New World Order” all his political life. Enter “how i learned to love the new world order joe biden” and “on the threshold of a new world order joe biden” in the search boxes on DuckDuckGo and Brave for the column that he wrote in the Wall Street Journal on April 23, 1992 and the text of a speech he gave before Congress over three days later that year – while you still can.
What a sham. Trump will definitely win these debates, no question
lunatic crook with full blown dementia will not debate President Trump. There are no drugs they can inject the demonic SOB with who cannot recall anything, anyone, anyplace where he is at the moment. This is a coup d’etat we are in. They have taken the commie manifesto and applied it to USA they have kangaroo banana republic DOJ and made up crimes and charges not only for President Trump but anyone who dares speak the truth! The 2024 election is already being rigged. The puppet masters don’t need Breakfast at Biden’s or idiot cackling Kamalalala – they are the perfect stooge puppets….
can we just say that trump won and a no show for joe . that would save us all the interminable angst of listening to the incoherent ramblings of a pathological liar and imbecile .
What if the audience was made up of illegal aliens shipped in from Texas?
They seem to be Biden’s strongest supporters.

It’s all about distraction. Joe is an easily confused old far t who could never finish a single sentence if he’s got a bunch of commotion in front of him. When the uppers wear off he needs every unfair advantage his duplicitous slave masters can muster.
