  • Now that President Biden and Donald Trump have accepted invitations to two televised debates, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains why the audience at home might not hear President Biden comment on any of Donald Trump’s criminal cases. Lawrence explains that President Biden is a “more careful lawyer than Richard Nixon” who nearly caused a mistrial when then-President Nixon publicly declared Charles Manson guilty of murder during the Manson trial in 1970.

      I think they will happen because: 1) Trump will do all the talking, interrupting endlessly. 2) The moderator will treat Trump with kid gloves, and never control him. 3) The rules will state that Trump's crimes and trials can't be discussed, further protecting him . 4) A win, win, win for our new dictator.

      Trump is on a hard fade into likely full Alzheimer's. The glib Gish Galloper of 2016 is long gone. So is the interrupting proven liar of 2020. All he is now is a projection artist that foolishly repeats the phrases his dementia addled mind can come up with, like "Biden can't put 2 sentences together". His handlers will never allow him to debate in a strict moderated forum, where he has no audience to feed off of.

      FACTS: "The Trump hush money case is underway in New York. Of all legal cases against Trump, this one is the weakest and most absurd of all. It involves an alleged misdemeanor on which the statute of limitations has already expired, in conjunction with another alleged misdemeanor on which the statute of limitations has also expired, both part of an alleged election interference conspiracy that other courts have already said isn’t a crime. Got that? Also, the bookkeeping violation supposedly involving election interference took place after the election was already over. Even liberal legal scholars can’t find a crime here." --J.

      Yes, that was disgusting, especially as the evidence has now completely exonerated them, but at the time trump wasn't president, only a sleazy 'business man'. I think that's the difference between the cases. Please don't think I'm defending trump in any way!! I'm appreciating President Joe Biden for his wisdom and his integrity, as well as his ability to control his actions and speech in a way that trump never could!

      Philosophy major here. Debates are driven to produce a winner. True dialog, in which there is a thesis and an antithesis, produce a higher or greater understanding of the subject in question. Debates could be conducted in accord with the logical rules of inference and an astute moderator, knowledgeable in biases and fallacies in which points are deducted, refereeing the dialog or arguments, and thereby determining a winner. There are formal rules for every kind of game or contest. However, debate is one contest that needs more formal structure and fundamental modifications that, if studied and engaged in properly, would produce not only better debaters, but superlative thinkers as well.
