Democrats around the country have begun to pressure the Biden campaign to call off all debates with Donald Trump due to the coronavirus pandemic, they say.
In truth, the reason they don’t want Biden to debate Trump is that they don’t think Trump will play by their rules. The president would take over the debate and make it about what he wants, not what Biden wants.
Democrats are also worried about Biden’s mental stamina and his ability to remain engaged for an hour and a half during a debate.
Newsweek:
Democratic strategists and supporters of Vice President Joe Biden are urging him not to debate President Donald Trump in the lead-up to Election Day, citing Trump’s publicity stunts and disregard for the rules in 2016. Meanwhile Biden backers, including some conservatives, applauded the University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan for cancelling their scheduled debates over COVID-19 concerns.
Former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart joined several Democratic Party strategists in bluntly advising Biden, “whatever you do, don’t debate Trump.” Speaking on CNN Saturday, Lockhart said Trump shouldn’t be given another platform which will enable him to “repeat lies,” which he said occurred in the 2016 debates against Hillary Clinton.
Trump has a knack for exaggeration and hyperbole that Democrats don’t like. It’s very effective in debates and Biden would spend most of his time on the defensive.
CNN political analyst @joelockhart tells @smerconish that Joe Biden shouldn’t debate President Trump.

why do I keep thinking of "Weekend at Bernie's" ?
Why can’t they just be honest and admit that Biden’s mental agility is extremely diminished and he wouldn’t be capable of making it through a debate with anyone.
Lol.
The article says "Trump has a knack for exaggeration and hyperbole that Democrats don’t like."
This means he lies. Duh. Anyone who doesn't recognize the grifter for who he is is willfully looking the other direction.
My dear anonymous 10:54 a.m. the president is a doer and not a talker. He doesn't play the b******* like professional politicians of Joe Biden's ilk do. So you might as well stop talking about how much he lies and maybe focus on the things that he's actually accomplished such as unemployment when the economy was working before the covet made up crisis took place. It will be back to what it was before once November 5th gets here. The stock market still at all time high. Just my two cents.

10:54 is just a troll that like to put outrageous comments on here to trigger people.
10:54 doesn't even believe the crap he posts.
On the other hand, there isn’t anyone on the damorat side to debate the good man. They already had what they thought was the cream of their crop in 2016. Mr. Trump flushed the fat failure off of the stage, taking her opportunity to break some glass ceiling or something away. The nasty vile one had tried so many times they figured never again. They all ran out crying and are still crying four years later, leaving us all that time to laugh and smile. Go Trump!
"...This means he lies..."
"If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor." Or maybe, "Every family will save $2,500 per year under my health plan." Shall I continue?
Ditto..... these people are so ignorant they actually believe our great president is the cause of the sad deaths of the virus victims.
Dimocrats are sweating bullets, they know they've lost the election already. LOL
TRUMP 2020 !!!!
If that is true, then a good democrat would have no issues debating him. This is another sign that their canadate is a fraud. A pawn. Pay attention to the Vice President pick.
Diane Feinstein......60 years
Chuck Schumer......45 years
Maxine Waters........47 years
Patrick Leahey .......54 years
Joe Biden................51 years
Nancy Pelosi...........33 years
The above idiots complain America is in terrible shape. So maybe they should accept some responsibility? Just sayin’.
CNN: Mr. Biden are you looking forward to a Debate with Pres. Trump?
Joe: No! I don't like the man so why would I want to go out on a Date with him?
CNN: no it is a Debate where you are asked questions.
Joe: I'm not stupid I know on dates they ask you questions, and I'm, already married I think.
CNN: Yes sir you are married, but are you going to debate the President?
Joe; I don't want to he's mean and could make me cry!
CNN; Sir are you clear headed enough to be president?
Joe: President!?! I thought I was running for Senate!
CNN; No Sir the party wants you to be president.
Joe: Party? Where? I love parties! Will there be cake? Can I have a balloon?
Will there be little girls there? I love little girls!
CNN: I'm done.....
Dems are punting until 2024. They will regroup, rid themselves of the stale mothballs still running Congress and hope.
Republicans would be wise and do the same. Regroup, rid the old stale BS and push forward through the rest of the 20's and 100 year anniversary of the Great Depression of the 1920s.
If neither do that, then history WILL repeat itself in throughout the 2020's into the 2030's.
LOL 11:28! As if lying wasn't bad enough for the Libtards
"we have to pass it to see what's in it" - Nancy Pelosi
They are dumber than a rock, except rocks can be useful in large quantities unlike the Democrats!
Yes, the Democrats don't like it when someone's hyperbole and exaggeration outdo their own brand.
They don’t have to urge him....he can’t debate a Girl Scout.
If he doesn't debate Trump, he should be disqualified from running for president.
There will not be any debates. Not one institution will agree to have one once the time comes. They'll use covid as an excuse but the real reason is that Biden will never be up to debating President Trump.
We Americans should demand bebates by presidential candidates. Enough of these "prompt" pre written speeches. I want to hear where they stand on issues and how they handle themselves when attacked. How well they can stand up to America's enemies when approached.
NO, Biden should have to do the Debate, so America can SEE he is Not fit to be anything but Dog catcher 2020 !!!!
