CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 21, 2020
TOMORROW NIGHT’S FINAL BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN WILL FEATURE A NEW TWIST. THE DEBATE COMMISSION, DESCRIBED IN THE PRESS AS NONPARTISAN, WHICH IT ISN’T – WILL TURN OFF THE MICROPHONE OF THE ONE NOT SPEAKING SO THERE WILL BE NO INTERRUPTIONS. THAT WON’T MUTE THE OTHER CANDIDATE WHO CAN STILL BE HEARD IF HE WISHES.
I SUSPECT PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE MORE RESERVED THAN IN THE FIRST DEBATE. LET JOE BIDEN TALK. THE MORE HE SPEAKS THE LESS SENSE HE MAKES.
THIS FORMAT NEEDS TO BE DISCARDED. CLIMATE CHANGE IS AGAIN ONE OF THE TOPICS, AS IT WAS IN THE FIRST DEBATE. NOTHING ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN AND THE FAMILY’S FINANCIAL CONNECTIONS WITH UKRAINE, BURISMA AND BEIJING.
ONCE AGAIN, THE MODERATOR HAS DEMOCRAT TIES.
THIS COMMMISSION IS 60 YEARS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE RETIRED. IF THERE ARE TO BE MODERATORS, EACH CAMP OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO CHOOSE ONE. MAYBE THEY CAN DRAW TOPICS FROM A HAT, OR BETTER STILL DO AWAY WITH THE FORMAT AND LET EACH CANDIDATE SPEAK FOR 30 MINUTES, QUESTION EACH OTHER AND HAVE TWO PEOPLE ASK FOLLOWUP QUESTIONS. THERE MUST BE A BETER WAY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
