First presidential debate moves from Notre Dame to Case Western due to COVID-19
By Jonathan Easley - 07/27/20 04:20 PM EDT

The first presidential debate in September has been moved from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

The move came after Notre Dame Rev. President John Jenkins announced the school would withdraw as host of the debate, saying the burdensome health precautions required would interfere with student education.

“I am grateful to the many members of the University community who have devoted countless hours planning this event, and to the Commission on Presidential Debates leadership for their professionalism and understanding,” Notre Dame president Rev. John Jenkins said in a statement. “But in the end, the constraints the coronavirus pandemic put on the event — as understandable and necessary as they are — have led us to withdraw.”

If this debate actually happens it is going to be pure comedic entertainment.

...which is why it won't happen.  Shortbus Joe can't even handle an interview with Rat-friendly reporters like Chris Wallace.

"The move came after Notre Dame Rev. President John Jenkins announced the school would withdraw as host of the debate, saying the burdensome health precautions required would interfere with student education."

This could serve as a precedent by which other venues may decline to participate.

The goal:
No real "debate" before a live audience.
Perhaps a "virtual" debate conducted in separate studios for each candidate, with the objective of propping up Biden's performance.
