The gameplay of the Democrats for the coming elections is becoming clearer. It seems that they have no intention of letting Joe Biden face President Donald Trump on the debate stage. This comes after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that she doesn’t think there should be any debates for the presidential elections for this year. Pelosi’s excuse was that Biden should not legitimize a conversation with President Trump. She insists that the President will act beneath the dignity of the office of the president.

Pelosi spoke to reporters on Thursday and she said that she disagrees with Biden who has said that he was eager to debate the President. Pelosi has cited the President’s behavior during the 2016 elections when he faced Hillary Clinton on the debate stage. Clinton was a formidable opponent during a debate and she clearly had a hard time handling President Trump even if the mainstream media claimed that she won all the debates so Biden is clearly at a disadvantage against Trump.

Instead of having the traditional debates, Pelosi said that the two candidates should just have separate events where they can take questions. “Let that be a conversation with the American people. Not an exercise in skullduggery,” she said.

No one’s being fooled by Pelosi’s excuses for her not wanting a debate. Everyone can see that the real reason why they don’t want the debate to happen is that Biden is suffering from cognitive decline and he would not be able to handle facing Trump on the debate stage. Even if the President will not be there poking and provoking him, Biden is likely to suffer some form of meltdown. That is the reason why he is not going out to campaign and they are just using the pandemic to keep him in his basement. With Trump provoking him on the stage, Biden is sure to look really bad.

The decision not to debate the President can be a risky one for the Democrats. It would confirm what the right has been claiming all along that Biden is unfit to run for office. It will not sit well with the moderates who have not decided on who to vote yet. The left on the other hand will just accept whatever explanation is given to them as to why they should not debate Trump.
