DNC Changes Debate Rules So Biden Can Sit Down

National Pulse:

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), aided by CNN, appears to be changing the rules for the next Democratic presidential nominee debate again.

This time, apparently, so former vice president Joe Biden can sit down.

The most pertinent part of a POLITICO article about the Sanders and Biden camps clashing over the debate rules states:

The format for the next debate in Arizona — their first since Biden’s blowout Super Tuesday victories — would have the candidates seated for the first time this election cycle and take multiple questions from the audience. In the prior 10 debates, the candidates stood at lecterns and nearly all questions were asked by the professional moderators.

And while the Biden camp denies pressuring the DNC and CNN to allow Joe to take a load off, the Sanders camp outwardly objected to the rule change. Team Biden did not. Usually, in the murky world of backroom political deals, this means you’re in on it. more here

  1. They said sit down Joe, not shit. Will he be more intelligent sitting down rather than standing up, we’ll soon find out. Maybe they should give the old geezer a nice rocking chair like the folksy rocking chairs they sell at Cracker Barrel. Ol Granpa Biden lecturing the American people on how he’ll make such a great President if he can only remember what his name is and where he’s at.

  2. The DNC wants Biden to sit so they can put a microscopic earpiece in his ear in order to tell him what to say. Also with Biden being hard of hearing? Good luck with that! CNN’S gonna need Donna Brazile back.

  3. fraud, right before our very eyes.
    Why isn’t using a chair optional? If they _have_ to use a chair, maybe there should just be one, and they could play jeopardy music while the question is being pondered and they circle the chair, in anticipation of the music ending.
    Or, put joey’s chair in the corner and have him wear a dunce cap.
    burnie should counter, saying he is subject to DVT’s and he can’t sit for that long. I imagine it is difficult to be a flagrant socialist while being seated. Bad optics there.

    joey is going to be really hopped up on meds for that debate. He’ll be flustered, and in feeling threatened, will over react. If he is on his feet, it will be too much for him to manage and he would most likely do one of those oprah balance maneuvers.

  4. Biden’s going to get confused as to where he’s at during the debate and think he’s sitting on the toilet. I think it would be rather fitting for Bernie Sanders to be rambling about taxing billionaires (middle class) as Joe Biden is taking a crap on the stage.

    “Hey, Bernie. You got any toilet paper?”

  5. As Someone on here pointed out….

    It’ll be harder to tell if Joe Shits Himself on Stage if He’s

    sitting down….Hopefully They put some of those Rockstar Guitar Solo

    Fans up front, and blow the stink Aft.

  6. If the Democrat Party is so willing to screw over their own people to gain power you just know they will have absolutely no qualms about screwing over the rest of us to keep their power.

  7. Instead of debating they should have a pushup contest as part of an iron man competition – and let Hillary in on it. It would be over in two minutes instead of two hours.

  8. Joe has numerous times proved he can’t think on his feet. The Biden camp is ready to gamble on the hope he will think better setting on his asz. After all, It will decrease the load on the brain remembering how to walk.

  9. …C’mon, man, FDR sat down all the time, and everyone thought he was a great Senator! I remember sitting in his lap and feeling how hairy his legs were because he couldn’t shave them since he was paralyzed from the waist up! And now someone wants to tell me that Jill can’t have a seat by the barbecue? Malarkey! Corn Pop and I discussed this down at Iwo Jima when I was Vice President during last year’s school shootings, and he said…he said…mmm, someone’s using honeysuckle in their hair, I LOVE honeysuckle, c’mon over here, honey…wait, you’re Black, never mind I don’t sni…I mean, they’re gonna put you back into JAMES, and c’mon man, that’s the WORST book in the…that…you know, that THING, that big book with the guy with the beard and all…wait, someone’s in my ear…pudding? You’ve got PUDDING? For ME?!!? Sorry folks, end of the event, my Vice President Maimee Van Doren will entertain you, so donate to Joe 30330 and don’t forget to vote for Barack for Mayor of wherever THIS is in October!

  10. Next debate will be done wearing shorts. Joe is confident he has the nicest leg hair. He is extra confident of that after Liz dropped out.

    Joe believes a president with nice leg hair is held in high esteem by voters, and therefore Joe believes top quality leg hair is the fast reliable horse that will take him through the pass in to the winner’s circle.

  11. If you’re curious about the real reason:

    These are two shouters. (And Biden doesn’t do well excited.)

    Making people sit down puts them into a less aggressive posture, and actually helps to prevent shouting and arguing.

  12. …wuhan virus. either they can’t have the debate in an auditorium loaded with people, or joey will be said to have contracted it. The audience is going to ask the questions, so no audience, no debate. Sorry. Were he said to have it, that would take him off the stage and out of sight for maybe more than 2 weeks. Sorry. Then he re-emerges, almost a month later, healed. A miracle. A hero.

  13. Oh boy, the next debate is going to be bonkers. LOL! Just like watching a WWE smackdown with senile competitors.
    Crazy Uncle Joe won’t be seated for very long, (and will lose focus) because he’ll have to compete with Burn Baby Burn Bernie, who can’t sit still, on his feet waving his arms around and shouting like a lunatic. The Democrat party have no hope with these two misfits.
