How about debates in separate studios with no audiences?

I suspect that will be the final result. Trump will look like more of a mad man in a separate studio.

1. Trump can't be allowed any debate scenario by his handlers

2. This is a very good idea, and it would resolve issues that concern both

people who want the live debates in person and those who want them virtual or remote.

Clearly the health risks to Biden are minimized or completely removed.

The crucial thing is to have an impartial debate monitor with both candidates, to make sure that Trump isn't cheating, using an earpiece, etc.., and that he is moved into an environment where he's not overly comfortable. And the cameras should be on at all times, and the candidates required to stand during the debates (but with breaks as appropriate, of course.)

3. I sort of assumed Biden would insist on no audience and that might get trump to bail on the idea...

But separate studios is a thought. Dunno if it would be necessary, but Trump having no feedback would give him kittens.

4. We can do cardboard cutouts like MLB
