Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

[TN Toffee]

As of now, the VP debate is going ahead as scheduled this week. Really surprised by this.

They could easily do something like a zoom version of it but are choosing not to. No idea why they have to be in the same location.

They don’t have to be, and honestly shouldn’t. Given how many COVID positives he was in direct proximity to, Pence should be quarantining right now.

Not sure a zoom debate would work terribly well. Much harder for Harris to make him cry remotely.

But yeah, it would be the sensible thing to do at this point

A Trumptard's take on another forum I post

‘Many moves ahead of the deep state’ lol Be interesting to track the processes it has taken over time for someone to eventually write that line.

The VP debate will almost certainly be carried out with much closer adherence to the rules. The debate this past week was the best case that could have possibly been made for conducting them by Zoom. The moderator could easily just mute Trump when he refuses to shut the hell up.

The moderators (per the debate rules, I believe) aren't allowed to mute a candidate. Trump talking across his opponent would be even worse over Zoom than live.

We have such a long difficult road ahead of us that Biden isn't 10+ points ahead in every single state. How, on earth, do you reconcile the fact that there are still people voting for Trump?

Trump is currently +17% here in TN, and he actually has an even bigger lead in nine other states. Unreal.

''Some Democrats were fearful at the prospect of Trump dying or being forced out of the race because they view the president as Biden’s best hope of election. Without Trump, a more measured and reasoned Republican candidate might prove a stronger challenge to Biden, a lacklustre campaigner who would probably not be so far ahead in the polls if not for the pandemic.''

From The Guardian. Thought the same the other day.

I just don't see someone, even Pence, being able to launch a campaign four weeks from election day and win. I get the concern, but it isn't realistic to me. All the infrastructure is built for Trump.
