You knew this was coming. They never expected Trump to accept the invitation to debate Biden under Biden’s set conditions, but they’ve changed the game entirely.
BREAKING: CNN will implement a 1-2 minute delay for tonight’s presidential debate instead of the standard 7-second delay, potentially allowing time to edit parts of the broadcast.
This will allow CNN to edit out Biden gaffes or freezes.
- There will be no reporters from the White House travel pool
scoop: The White House Correspondents’ Association says it’s “deeply concerned” that CNN “has rejected our repeated requests to include the White House travel pool inside the studio.” The full statement: pic.twitter.com/qe3Y8Austz

BREAKING: White House press corps has petitioned CNN to open up the debate studio to reporters, who for now have to watch a feed from a building across the street, b/c they believe there may be a “medical emergency” involving one of the prez candidates requiring on-scene coverage
Hmmm
- CNN issued a statement saying the questions have not been leaked to Biden in advance.
CNN assured former President Donald Trump’s campaign that no questions have been leaked to President Joe Biden ahead of the debate years after doing so to Hillary Clinton in 2016, the campaign’s national press secretary said.
The network’s former contributor, Donna Brazile, leaked CNN town hall questions to Clinton’s campaign in 2016, leading the network to part ways with her. Karoline Leavitt, the National Press Secretary for former President Donald Trump’s campaign, said they have reached out to CNN to ensure the questions have not once again been leaked to the Democratic nominee.
This changes everything. Had Trump simply showed up and remained calm, he would wipe the floor with Biden. This new set of conditions allows CNN to manipulate everything in favor of Biden and we have no way of knowing.
If I’m Trump, either you broadcast it live and allow at least one pool reporter or I walk.
UPDATE
Let’s add one more
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
This is precisely what we feared; CNN would set the stage up to favor Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden. The debate will be held in a huge, empty auditorium. This is OBVIOUSLY intended to make Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden more comfortable, as if he is at one of his rallies.
As to the delay, hopefully one of Trump’s aides will be able to video the entire debate. Like with the refusal to submit to a drug test, no one should trust these corrupt liars. Why wouldn’t Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden submit to a drug test? When it is shown he had NO substances in his system, it would make Trump look foolish! What is Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden afraid of?
Brian Stelter is denying the delayed broadcast report.
How would we know?

Do you have any reason to believe this guy, aside from the fact that it pleases you to do so? He doesn’t appear to have supplied a source for this information.
Brian Stelter?
Oh, you mean that https://theleadingreport.com/author/patrickwebb/
Never heard of him before today.
Weird that he “heard” that.
Maybe he can be had?
Somebody played him?
This is the problem when you totally destroy your own credibility, as CNN has done. They have excluded all reporters and journalists. No other cameras allowed. Two rabid Trump-hating ideologues as moderators who promote every anti-Trump and anti-Republican lie they can get their hands on. A history of letting questions leak to the Democrats.
Yeah, now that you mention it, why WOULD anyone suspect CNN of such a thing?
Then don’t watch it.
I notice that Webb provides no source for this factoid.
I see you got your “letter from Hanoi” from Hillary Clinton today.
Funny how all the dems I hear from (after her edict) say they aren’t interested in seeing it tonight.
Oh, I’m watching it. So what source does this guy provide?
Same unknown source as Hanoi Hildabeast.
Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden doesn’t look jacked up or on his A-game. He looks like he usually does… dazed, confused, mumbling, stumbling, forgetting, stammering and, of course, LYING.
Trump has the facts and is, so far, showing just how superior to the corrupt, incompetent, doddering, liar that can’t do anything but recite what he has practiced to say.
Ok, so is it going to be Michelle or Gavin? Biden is toast.
This is gotta be one of the most embarrassing performances in a debate I’ve ever seen, this is elder abuse.
A Gallop poll taken today says most democrats want someone other than joe to run.
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/06/27/gallup-a-majority-of-democrats-still-want-another-candidate-n3791094
The DNC will choose who the DNC wants.
They so wanted to believe that Trump would back out due to all the restrictions… funniest shit I’ve seen since Airplane.
They shit there pants when Trump agreed to all their demands. So far, CNN seems pretty even handed, but every question is a dagger into the heart of Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden because they are all about massive disasters HE has created and mishandled.
Do you see Trump taking any notes after Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden stammers on? Nope. His responses come directly from his highly-functioning brain where the facts are stored. Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden has to write down what he is going to say so he won’t forget.
They CAN’T. They simply can’t, not without destroying themselves. Up until tomorrow, they have all bragged about what a firecracker Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden is, how on-the-ball he is. How can they turn on a dime and just say, “Ooops. I guess we were wrong.”?
If they dump Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden, they doom themselves.
Even dems know joe lied.
At one point he said NO American military have died since he took office!
Forgot about his clock-watching after the 13 American troops came home in coffins, joe?
That was after joe abandoned Afghanistan.
He said Border Patrol endorsed him. They IMMEDIATELY came forth and said they have not endorsed him and NEVER WILL.
It’s what they do.
Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden’s comments on January 6th sounded like all the whiny, crybaby leftists that get their news from, well, CNN. Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden is boiling over and losing it.
True, but I still don’t see how they can survive doing it.
I got a BINGO!
On the biden bingo card.
All his recycling of the debunked hoaxes, plus using the term, “malarkey.”
HE DID IT! HE ACTUALLY DID IT! The stupid, lying MFer fell back on the “fine people” lie, even after even SNOPES has debunked it! I guess none of the 16 handlers thought to tell him the latest developments. Goddamn, he is STUPID!
AND he said, again, his son died in Iraq. I hope the checks for those 16 clods hasn’t cleared yet. He should get it all back.
His lies are mounting…..
Just now the claim he made that the Border Patrol endorsed him was debunked by the Border Patrol:
The only reason they agreed to this debate was to dump Biden
joe’s “team” is now claiming joe had a cold.
How will they explain jumping over his Black VP tho?
Like I say, they CAN do it, but it will destroy them. Now, it’s THEIR turn to pay the price for election fraud.
They cannot run biden after tonight. Frankly I hope they keep him. I smell a 40+ state landslide.
They won’t. This was a coup.
Oh… NOW we learn, Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden had a cold. How does someone get a cold in the summertime while staying inside prepping for a debate… for a week?
What did anyone see last night from Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden that was different from any other performance of his? His total collapse last night is nothing different from what he has been offering his entire career. What was expected was some sort of new Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden was going to show up and take Trump to the woodshed. What we got was what we always get: the actual item. The real deal, the real disappointing, failed, lying, incompetent thing.
Pundits are opining that now dems can pretend to have just noticed joe’s decrepitude.
Was this a set-up to force Jill to let it go?
To dump joe they have to give Jill an exit ramp to somewhere…..or, at least a full pardon.
Maybe Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden will suddenly declare he will honor his promise to only serve one term.
Yowza!
If he drops out, he’ll hold out like Bernie does and cash in on stepping down. Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden doesn’t do anything without a payoff.
I worked for a manager once that asked those kinds of questions. If we had to move a date on a schedule, he would ask, “You didn’t know yesterday you had to move the schedule 5 days?” Sometimes the simplest questions are the best.
Comparing operational minds last night, Trump did a great job of prioritizing the lies Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden was issuing and only addressing the most critical ones while getting across to what was probably a brand new audience many of the facts they NEVER get to hear. I would have been addressing each lie in order and just run out of time before I got to the most critical issues. Trump did a GREAT job and proved, beyond any doubt, that Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden is totally incompetent and inadequate.
And then, all of a sudden, out of the clear, blue sky…. last night.
Now this is interesting and one I didn’t think of
Didn’t really think about this angle, I was in the coup camp but he may be right:
