New York Times Already Making Excuses for Biden to Duck Debates with Trump

Fussy columnists at The New York Times are already trying to stack the debates for Joe Biden, claiming that because he's chosen not to do any campaigning, that's somehow putting President Trump at an unfair advantage. Thomas Friedman's column carried the headline "Biden Should Not Debate Trump Unless… Here are two conditions the Democrat should set."

Friedman began:

    I worry about Joe Biden debating Donald Trump. He should do it only under two conditions. Otherwise, he’s giving Trump unfair advantages.

    First, Biden should declare that he will take part in a debate only if Trump releases his tax returns for 2016 through 2018. Biden has already done so, and they are on his website. Trump must, too. No more gifting Trump something he can attack while hiding his own questionable finances.

Biden’s two conditions:  (1) the debate must occur in his basement, and (2) it cannot be televised or broadcast to anyone in America.
