Nancy Pelosi has doubled down on her opinion that Joe Biden should not debate President Trump. The reason she gives is that Trump (unlike Biden) "won't tell the truth". She also refers to "his henchmen". Since Trump will be the only one debating Biden, I assume the "henchmen" are the employees of Fox News, which is hosting the debate. The moderator will be Chris Wallace. Of course, we all know the real reason Pelosi is panicking over Tuesday night's scheduled first debate. She knows Biden will be a disaster.
Let's be frank: Joe Biden is becoming increasingly senile. His public appearances are few, usually held in his basement, and his declining mental state is there for all to see. It will be indoors, so he won't be able to wear his sunglasses as he increasingly does to hide his sunken eyes. (I predict that if elected, Kamala Harris will ascend to the presidency within the first year.)
Let's go back to 2012 when Biden debated vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan. Biden had all his mental faculties then, and that was still an embarrassment. Biden continually interrupted Ryan, spoke over him, and generally acted like a jerk. Now he rambles and is unable to put coherent thoughts and sentences together.
Whether you like Chris Wallace or not, I am comfortable that he is going to ask pointed questions to both candidates and will follow up if he doesn't get a straight answer. He is precisely the moderator people like Pelosi fear. Of course, they will complain that he works for Fox News, but I don't believe that Wallace is going to show any favoritism.
Barring any unforeseen "disaster", the event will go on as scheduled. Any cancellation will be seen by the public for what it is.
