Full list of debate moderators "proposed" by Trump campaign (no, they don't get to decide)

Tim Murtaugh, communications director for the Trump campaign, told Axios that with the announcement that Biden will no longer travel to Milwaukee for the Democratic National Convention, "We are convinced he’ll try to weasel out of debates."

The other side: "We have said all along, including in a letter to the commission in June, that Joe Biden will appear on the dates that the commission selected and in the locations they chose," Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement.

"Donald Trump has not, continually trying to insert his choice of friendly moderators, now including one who just published an op-ed offering 'the case' for Trump's reelection. Joe Biden will be there."

Full list of proposed moderators: Bret Baier, Gerry Baker, Maria Bartiromo, Shannon Bream, David Brody, Rachel Campos-Duffy, Kevin Cirilli, Larry Elder, Saagar Enjeti, Harris Faulkner, Major Garrett, Michael Goodwin, Ambrosio Hernandez, Joe Kernen, Hoda Kotb, Susan Li, Bill Hemmer, Hugh Hewitt, Tom Llamas, Dagen McDowell, David Muir, Norah O’Donnell, Charles Payne, Rick Santelli.

He's so f'ing chicken-shit scared of powerful women on a mission, that alone would send him back to his lair.

I'm guessing the Trump campaign included her name to try to pretend their list isn't biased.

Donaldo Trumpo is a possiblity. He would put on a big fake mustache with Goya beans in the background and ask, "Señor Trump, what makes you such a great leader?"

The little fuck would be screaming and waving his arms with every question to VP Biden.

Little Ricky gets very toothy looking and frothy when he's upset.
