It is lunacy for Trump to have agreed to this! Madness!
CNN isn't even hiding their intent or pretending at moderation by inviting a token Country Club Republican like Hugh Hewitt. It's just a full-on Trump Derangement Syndrome Murderer's Row.
Does he want to lose?
So, President Joe Biden puts out a 13-second video challenging Donald Trump to a debate, Trump accepts, and CNN already has it scheduled for June 27. There won't be an audience ... that was one of the Biden camp's demands. Robert F.

Tapper's co-moderator will be Dana Bash ... this Dana Bash:
Jake Tapper's entire show is Trump hatred and DNC talking points for 45 minutes (with 15 minutes of commercials for Viagra).
Why would Trump agree to this?
