Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostHave you ever actually listened to him? It might say "comedian" on his resume, but he's very well informed and politically savvy and regularly catches his guests off-guard with his very insightful and probing questions. If he hosted a debate, he would be hard on both candidates.
If anything, Joe Rogan is the serious journalist, and Rachael Maddow is the comedian.
I have heard some of his stand up. I haven't listened to his podcast. I doubt I could post some of the things he's said on here without getting moderated which is a pretty good indication that he's not the right person to moderate a presidential debate.

Originally posted by seanD View PostRogan's a smart guy; smart enough to know when he's got to reign it in and be more formal than he typically is. The problem for the democrats is social media. Normally, you'd want the most amount of people tuning in to see what your policies are and how you handle yourself under pressure. But in this case, if your the democratic establishment that endorses Biden, you definitely don't want to get social media into a tizzy and young folks tuning in to watch Biden's cognitive decline.
Where are you getting the idea that the democrats want to hide everything?

Originally posted by LiconaFan97 View PostBiden got higher ratings for his acceptance speech than Trump did and by a good margin. The DNC got higher ratings that the RNC did every night. No one on stage during the DNC was clearly coked out of their mind (Don Jr.). According to reports Trump isn't even doing debate prep. Whether you think he's faster on his feet than Biden that's beyond foolhardy.

Originally posted by LiconaFan97 View PostEven if you don't respect her at least she's a journalist and not "just" a comedian (I tend to think comedians are generally pretty insightful and sharp).
But let's replace her with Shep Smith or Chris Wallace. Would it really surprise you if Trump declined a four hour debate moderated by them? Your laughing smilies are just proving my point.
She isn't a journalist. She is a political commentator. A talking head.

Originally posted by LiconaFan97 View PostHow is it trolling to point out that a presidential candidate is under no obligation to participate in a debate which departs so wildly from prior formats and convention and is hosted by a racist transphobic misogynist? I wouldn't count it against Trump if he chose not to participate in a non-standard debate either even if it were moderated by someone we all agreed was manifestly qualified.

Rogan's history of smoking pot during interviews and heavily using profanity as part of his shtick does not suggest to me that he would be a good choice. I think he would do his best to be neutral, but there's a serious opportunity for disaster."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by LiconaFan97 View PostI chose her name intentionally because I knew it would drive you guys into a frenzy. Now you understand why it's absurd to claim that Biden declining to have Rogan moderate is indicative of anything meaningful.
Then you claimed Maddow was qualified because she is a journalist. She isn't. She just comments on politics. Dramatically.
As far as qualifications go, they are about the same. Talking heads. Their politics are way different though. Rogan is more center. I think it would be good to have a neutral party or a centrist do the questions. No favoritism.Last edited by Sparko; 09-15-2020, 02:21 PM.
