Trump campaign manager calls for more debates sooner because of early voting
Washington Examiner, Aug 3, 2020

President Trump's campaign manager called for more and earlier debates with Democratic challenger Joe Biden, arguing that early voting will lead voters in some states to cast their ballots before the first debate takes place.

"We want more debates," said Bill Stepien, Trump's newly promoted campaign chief, in a Fox & Friends interview on Monday. "We want debates starting sooner." It was Stepien's first interview since taking the job.

Sixteen states will have started voting by the time of the first debate on Sept. 29, Stepien said. "That’s a concern to me."

"We are already seeing the liberal Left, the liberal media, trying to create trapdoors for Joe Biden to escape his commitment and his obligation to debate Donald Trump on a debate stage in front of the American people," he added. "We want more debates."

In an op-ed last week, Joe Lockhart, a former White House press secretary under Bill Clinton, advised Biden not to debate Trump at all. "Whatever you do, don’t debate Trump," Lockhart wrote on CNN, calling it "a fool’s errand."

Fishrrman kinda-shaky prediction:
There aren't going to be any debates.

The number-one mouthpiece of the American Cominform -- the New York Times -- was "getting the message out" just today (or was it yesterday?). The entire concept of debates is now counterproductive and should be dispensed with.

As you know, they "take their marching orders" from others "higher up" in the organization...
