Cleveland Clinic and Case Western to host first presidential debate

“We are honored to host this presidential debate at our shared Health Education Campus,” Cleveland Clinic CEO and President Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., and Case Western Reserve University President Barbara R. Snyder said in a joint statement on Monday.

“This pandemic has highlighted the critical importance of health care and scientific discovery in unprecedented ways. To have the presidential candidates discuss these issues in our innovative learning space represents a tremendous opportunity for both institutions – and our entire region.”

Cleveland Clinic and Case Western to host first presidential debate

I was beginning to think there would be no debates. With just 12-1/2 weeks to go before the election, we need to see vigorous debates with both candidates addressing the issues we all care about.

I hope the debates cover more than just the pandemic. We need tough questions thrown at both candidates. We pretty much know where President Trump stands on the issues. He's transparent and vocal and has been out there doing lengthy interviews.

But, Basement Biden has been scarce in appearances and information.

I'm looking forward to this debate. Will you be tuning in? How do you think it will go? Tough questions to Trump...soft questions to Biden?

Well thats good news though September 29th seems like a long time away

It does to me, too. But, at least there's one scheduled unless some "emergency" pops up to stop it. The DNC has two months to come up with a major distraction to cancel it.

Third "wave", COVID + FLU

Oh yes we will be tuning in, I suspect ratings that will dwarf anything, EVER.

Now that will be entertainment. Not sure if it will be a Drama or a Comedy though.

Will be tuning in from Australia or watching the replay.

This promises to be hilarious...or sad....or both. Either way, it will be worth watching!

Laughable

There will not be a debate. No way in hell will the disgusting dEms and their anti American puppet masters allow that imbecile to debate on live tv with President Trump.
Their tiny, dwindling support base will all but vanish.

I predict this will not go ahead.

I do so hope you are wrong about that. This is one year we really need to hear from the Democratic candidate. People of all stripes have huge doubts about Biden. We need to see with our own two eyes how he holds his own. We need to hear with our own two ears what he really stands for.

We need the hosts to ask him tough questions.

I’m certainly looking forward to this, but definitely not because I’m excited about either one. I said it in another thread, but I’m taking the day off the following day because I’m making a drinking game out of it. I’ll make a rule chart and put it in it’s own thread as we get closer. Maybe a few of us can get a Zoom meeting going so we can take a break from bashing each other on here and have some laughs?

I predict Biden will try to remain as posed and respectful as possible, but once Trump gets a few zingers in there, Biden’s going to start snapping his fingers with one hand while whipping out his spring-loaded switchcomb with the other.

THOSE lying dog-faced pony soldiers!? Why should he even bother?

a reply to: queenofswords

Highly unlikely.
I think the absolute number ONE priority for the dEms right now is to ensure that biden never has to debate the President under any circumstances.
I can see why that’s important to them too.

If the debates go ahead, they will be corrupted beyond belief.

It is FACT that hilary clinton was given the debate questions in advance in 2016. And she lost miserably. She even lost the debate she was coached for.

This candidate is weak even compared to that old fascist bigot hilary clinton, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I will wet my pants if Joe turns on Trump and calls him a "lyin' dog-faced pony soldier".

A drinking game? How about a shot every time Biden mentions his "blue collar" roots or drops BO's name.

Too me they scheduled so close to the election as they won't be able to reschedule if something comes up. Of course there ought to be a VP debate too

I think there is a VP debate scheduled. At the bottom of the article I posted in the OP it lists one for Oct. 7th at the University of Utah.

Maybe Biden will have one picked out by then.

a reply to: queenofswords

Imagine the hilarity of Biden challenging President Trump to a push-up contest. Or randomly blabbering on about kids and his hairy legs, with a random "so I learned about roaches" tossed in there. Though I do wonder if that roaches comment was intentional as a way to single out a certain demographic in a racist kind of way.

So VP Pence vs Corn Pop? This one should be good. I'm gonna have to stock up on snacks for it.

I was just going to point out the same thing; there is no VP at this time.

Vice presidential debate: Wednesday, October 7, 2020 The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT

Who will it be? Inquiring minds want to know.

These debates will be golden and provide some laughs for sure.

Biden is supposedly announcing his VP pick next month at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

Between August 17 and August 20th, we should know. That's when the Democratic National Convention is scheduled.
