THE BIG “DEBATE”

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 27, 2024

     WHO WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS IN TONIGHT’S NON-DEBATE? OR WILL IT BE A DRAW? I CALL IT A NON-DEBATE BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT IS. THIS WON’T RESEMBLE THE CLASSIC LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATES OF THE 1850S.

IT WILL FEATURES TWO LIBERAL INTERROGATORS SELECTING THEIR QUESTIONS FROM A SECULAR PROGRESSIVE WORLDVIEW.

     THE TELEVISION AUDIENCE WILL BE HUGE BUT THE ONLY ONES THAT MATTER ARE THE SUBURBAN AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS IN JUST A FEW CRUCIAL STATES. THEY WILL DECIDE THIS ELECTION.

     WILL DONALD TRUMP SHOW UP AS TRIUMPH THE INSULT DOG, OR WILL HE CHANGE INTO SOMETHING MORE PRESIDENTIAL? WILL PRESIDENT BIDEN BE ABLE TO COMPLETE A SENTENCE AND STATE FACTS, OR WILL HE MUMBLE AND MAKE CLAIMS THAT ARE FACTUALLY UNTRUE, SUCH AS INFLATION WAS NINE PERCENT WHEN HE ASSUMED OFFICE.

     TRUMP CAN ALSO BE FACTUALLY CHALLENGED. WILL MODERATORS JAKE TAPPER AND DANA BASH, WHO HAVE BEEN HIGHLY CITICAL OF TRUMP, INTERUPT AND MUTE MICROPHONES WHEN THEY DON’T LIKE AN ANSWER, OR WILL THEY PLAY IT STRAIGHT?

     WE WILL HAVE ANSWERS TO THOSE AND OTHER QUESTIONS TONIGHT AND THEN THE POLLING WILL START. HANG ON TO YOUR POPCORN. IT COULD BE A WILD RIDE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
