Historically, from what I have read, motivation to vote FOR someone is a much greater indicator of turnout than motivation to vote against them. 4 months is a long time to try and coast to victory. Romney coasted with 2 weeks left and lost ground.

I think you underestimate the strength of anti-Trump sentiment. Most people who would say they oppose Trump aren’t iffy about it. There’s not a lot of (in my opinion anyway) “well, he’s not really my cup of tea, I’ll vote for the other candidate I guess…I dunno…”
 
Biden has only gone into being a betting favorite in the last couple weeks, and the percentages was that he had a 56% chance of winning.

Some folks act as though he has been the heavy favorite for the last 3 years. His “surge” has been a very recent one, and while it may last, could easily dissipate.

Not to mention polls of registered voters matter WAY less when the enthusiasm gap between candidates is the largest in recorded history. Suddenly an 8-10 point leads is 2-4% among likely voters, with 4 months to go…
 
As many have predicted. Bragging with 5 months to go during civil unrest is hardly a smart thing to do. I have no idea who will win, but neither does anyone else at this juncture.
 
That 110 pages of policy will expand government and not really solve any problems … we will get more solar companies who will suck up billions of government funds like Solyndra did …and we will have many more of those solar powered rocking gizmos people have under lights at work and their windows at home … 100% net zero - Paris Climate Accord … Lots of government programs for weatherization and indoctrination … It will exacerbate current problems I fear … government - especially at the federal level is inefficient and sinkhole for money which is redistributed in ways most people abhor when they understand where it goes and to what purposes

Why the Solyndra mistake is still important to remember

Years after we all thought Solyndra was gone. A new government report brings it back with a sort-of explanation.

If there is any kind of debate, the left will do everything they can to take the focus off Trump vs. Biden. For example, if they put a leftist “fact checker” in the middle of things, they evidently admit that Biden cannot handle Trump by himself, and that he needs help.

And if Biden can’t handle Trump, how in the world would Biden (without a teleprompter telling him what to say) be able to handle Putin or China?
 
The difference is Joe has to debate from a public perception standpoint. People are conditioned to watch the debates and hear recaps. Trump has already been elected without releasing his returns, and the majority of random citizens pay no attention to what it is in anyone’s tax return. It is simply fodder for the media to them disseminate and tell the people what they should care about.

Debates are a whole other animal. They are visual, experienced directly by viewers, and dissected by roundtables. It will definitely hurt Biden if the perception is he is avoiding the debates (which is why I think they still have them).
 
How about Nancy Pelosi’s tax returns? She’s 3rd in line for the Presidency.

The reason is simpler. They don’t want Trump to propagate his lies and misleading statements to skew and sidetrack the debate. And there would be fact-checkers from both sides.

The point is to set up the framework of the debate, which will demand truthfulness - and as such it would be unacceptable to Trump.

After all Trump is playing Russian-roulette with us and with our children’s lives by insisting on the premature opening of the country.
 
They could also be seeking to correct Biden’s predictable “mistakes” where he claims millions of Americans are dead from COVID, for example.

If anyone thinks they will set up the debates independently but then use a reason that targets one candidate (Trump lies), that will never happen tacitly. This isn’t a message board. If the terms don’t at least appear above board, they are non-starters.

America has managed to arrange debates for decades. I am sure we can figure it out.

They also deserve to see the President’s tax return, but oh well…

There is no equivalency between the two. One has been historically formative to voter’s decision making process, the debate, and the other has not. Making the production of a tax return a new requirement for being president is merely a convenient excuse by Team Biden to avoid the potentially embarrassing experience of seeing Biden stumble to remember his wife, where he is at, or be able to provide coherent answers.

If the production of a tax return is now the standard, then why not Biden’s health assessment? Why not Biden’s Senate papers? Why not just let them debate and beat each other over they head with what the other won’t produce, and let the American people make their decision based on that?
 
If Joe Biden can’t handle Trump in a debate (without the help of others), then how in the world would Biden be able to handle Putin, China, the Middle East, or anybody else? They would take advantage of him.

This is not exactly a bold statement, but I predict that there is no way the Democrats permit a normal Trump-Biden debate in a format similar to what they’ve always had. Namely, there is no way they’ll let Joe Biden go out there without a teleprompter. They’ll make some sort of excuses that have nothing to do with anything.

But, there is no excuse other than the fact that they don’t want us to see the state of Joe Biden’s mind, or Biden having to take a stand on difficult issues.

Where is Joe Biden? Do we want a leader who “hides in his basement” during difficult times?

Yeah because facts are pesky things that trump can only be bothered with when Chris Wallace throws them in his face. 😉
