THE FINAL TRUMP-BIDEN DEBATE IS RIGGED TO MAKE TRUMP LOOK BAD

Three of the six announced topics - race, climate change and COVID-19 - are topics about which Trump has been excoriated by the media

The Trump-hating media has consistently branded Trump as a racist who supports white supremacists.  It has mocked him for being a climate change denier.  And it continues to accuse him him of mismanaging the COVID-19 pandemic and discouraging people from wearing face masks.

The six topics for Thursday's debate in Nashville were chosen by moderator Kristen Welker, a White House correspondent for NBC, and approved by the Commission for Presidential Debates.  Included are race, climate change and COVID-19.  

Welker's background should reveal why she chose race, climate change and COVID-19 among the six topics.  According to the New York Post, Welker "comes from an established Democratic family — who have poured cash into party coffers, and to Trump opponents, for years."  Her parents have contributed almost $20,000 to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama, $2,100 to Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, and $3,300 to Biden's campaign.  And Welker, along with her father, celebrated Christmas with Barack and Michelle Obama at the White House back in 2012.

As an obvious Biden backer, Welker did not choose the hot button topic of Hunter Biden's emails which say Joe Biden was to reiceve10 percent of Hunter's deal with a Chinese firm.  If Trump can somehow engage Biden on the Hunter emails, Biden might also come out looking bad.       

So, one can only conclude that the final debate is rigged to make Trump look bad and Biden look good.  Trump's numerous tweets, his repetition of conspiracy theories, and his rally speeches on those three hot button issues, together with a biased moderator, will make Trump an easy foil for Biden.

Unless Biden has a complete meltdown, it is hard to see how Trump can come out ahead in this rigged a debate.  And that's a downright dirty rotten shame!
