U.S. House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, has made a move to protect her fellow Democrat, former vice president, Joe Biden, from having to debate president Donald Trump, in the 2020 presidential election. Pelosi stated, "I don't think there should be any debates. I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States."

Biden is suffering from dementia, which makes him very forgetful and confused. A number of articles have been written in the mainstream press and items posted on social networking, illustrating Biden's very pronounced struggle with dementia.

Trump is poised to pounce on Biden during the debate, having ascertained his rival's Achilles heel (dementia). Biden is in a brain fog from dementia. Hence, Pelosi trying to prevent the debates, which are a staple in American politics.

Pelosi does not want Biden making disastrous, befuddled comments during the heated presidential debates and becoming the brunt of heavy criticism, mockery and memes online. If the debates go significantly wrong for Biden, it would damage his presidential campaign.

Nancy Pelosi isn't doing Joe Biden any favors in the debate over debates

Updated 2:24 PM ET, Thu August 27, 2020 - (CNN)In her weekly press briefing on Thursday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made some news. "I don't think there should be any debates," she said of the presidential election fight between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. "I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States."

Pelosi was offering solely her personal opinion. She acknowledged that "the Biden campaign thinks in a different way about this." And Biden himself quickly made clear that his plan was to participate in the three general election debates sanctioned by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates. "As long as the commission continues down the straight and narrow as they have, I'm going to debate him," Biden told NBC's Andrea Mitchell.

Despite Biden's quick denial of Pelosi's no-debates proposal, there's no question that the speaker just handed Trump's campaign more fodder to make its case that the former vice president is hiding from the public -- and the President.
