On December 16, President Donald Trump tweeted that he looks forward to debating his general election opponent from the Democratic Party, but criticized the Commission on Presidential Debates and said he might not participate in CPD debates. See this story. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, has asked attorneys in Level the Playing Field v FEC, 19-5117, to recommend dates for the oral argument. This is the case that challenges the FEC’s determination that the Commission on Presidential Debates is in compliance with federal campaign laws that forbid corporate donations to federal candidates. It appears the oral argument will be in the spring of 2020.
Since when does a 46 pct minority rule Prez LAWLESS TYRANT have to debate ANY body ???

It might be a good strategy for the President to invite candidates of other parties to join the debate.
i might actually agree with something the president said…i feel dirty. 🤔
How many more DEAD folks due to Trump Acts of WAR [WITH NO WAR DECLARED BY THE USA GERRYMANDER CONGRESS] ???
How much more USA regime DEBT due to Trump deficits ???
How much more statist control of the economy due to Trump machinations ???
How USELESS is the New Age media ???
The Commission has its critics, myself included. But, the LWV debates were not perfect either.
Trump should organize a debate with the Green and Libertarian candidates and then dare the Democrat to show up.
Edward: No, they weren’t, but the LWV debates were light-years better than the current corporate stagecraft.
And here’s a reminder of how much better they were before the duopoly parties did their secret treaty. https://people.howstuffworks.com/debate4.htm
@Nate,
They could put it on RT.
If Trump were willing to debate the GOP primary challengers, i might be more wilking take his criticism of the CPD more seriously.
Hmmmm… I want to see how this turns out. 🙂
