@The Original Sixth, I have a question for you. There's a rumor I came across that Biden caught COVID, and will be therefore canceling the debates. Now, for the sake of discussion, what if this is true? (Not necessarily the part about him catching COVID, but him using that as an excuse not to show up.) Furthermore, what happens if Biden dies before Election Day?

If Biden dies, the Dems scramble to find a VP. They probably keep Harris on as nominee.
Trump probably wins in that case.
If Biden doesn’t show up? The media spins it as the proper thing to do for having Covid and lambasts Trump over it.
Nothing substantial changes.

Realistically if either candidate catches covid, they're fairly unlikely make it to the election. Biden dying of natural causes would probably throw the Democrats into disarray, as the barely healed wounds of the primary tear open. The people who backed Sanders mostly don't like Harris at all, so I am sure that plenty of them would try to exert pressure for Sanders to take Bidens place at the top of the ticket.
I don't know if even that would really move the needle one way or the other for Trump, though. Most people are voting as a referendum on the incumbent and most people have already made up their minds one way or the other.
If Biden actually had covid when the debate rolls around, not only would staying away from a public space be a good idea, he's likely to be in no shape to debate. It is a nasty virus even in a young person. Trying to stay focused on your feet for an hour or more with a raging fever and much reduced lung capacity is not going to work for long.
It's a possibility. If his dementia is so bad that he can't possibly go on stage, they may try to duck out. But that will only work once and they have two more debates.
It's going to be hard to make an excuse for all three debates. Biden has to show up to at least one. And the longer they delay, the more rumors there will be and the greater the pressure from the Republicans. More importantly, I will be denied my bloodsport and my wrath shall be both swift and terrible.
They're fucked. Same as any party that has their candidate die a month before a major election. The Republicans would take a similar hit if something happened to Trump.

What if Trump proposes to do the debates online? Or he has before?

Get a load of this:
On one hand, smacks of the scaremongering I've seen. On the other, the Dems/MSM probably are dumb enough to actually think that would work.

How much did Joe's handlers pay the moderator?
It was a two on one debate and Trump still wrecked it like a bull in a china shop.

I don't really dread 2020. I'm starting, however, to dread 2021.
It was watching last night's debate that has me worried. If this debate will be remembered for anything, it's that it was the moment that millions of people realized they were living in a failing state. The many meek souls out there who hope for a "return to normalcy" after a Biden win are deluding themselves, and judging by the deer-in-the-headlights looks on many of the talking heads after the Event was over, many realized this delusion tonight. The final question (or one of the final questions? Last night was a blur) was discussing the very legitimacy of the vote counting itself. Ten years ago, such a topic being seriously discussed during a presidential debate would be considered silly—this is America, of course our elections are legitimate. The America of 2020 doesn't take this for granted anymore. How long can a democracy function when its own people don't trust the results of the elections due to the suspicion of wide-scale fraud? What will happen if the nightmare scenario takes place in November—a close election with vote counting that drags on for weeks? Trump isn't going to back down. He made that clear. For that matter, Biden didn't back down from the accusation that he would pack the courts if he were elected.
2020 could be America's last presidential election as we know it. A small chance, I know. Yet, this seems to be the year where crank conspiracy theories come true. Liberal democracy in the United States is falling apart more rapidly than anyone could have seriously thought in 2016. I think a lot of Trump's support on the right hasn't really been us hoping he succeeds. I never thought Trump would be any more of a cartoon hero than the left thought he was and is a cartoon villain. A lot of us supported Trump because we knew that, whatever else he did in office, he would expose the cracks in our foundation—but perhaps we didn't realize how big the cracks really were. Perhaps we really have reached the amount of ruin our nation can support.
We are sailing off the edge of the map here. Over the summer I was starting to think people would vote for Biden because they would hope that a Biden presidency would just get things back to normal. The press would stop panicking everyone over a marginally more dangerous flu, Antifa would stop looting every commercial district in America every time some lowlife criminal got shot, we would stop hearing about foreign election hacking, etc. The constant specter of doom and destruction, conjured almost 100% by a partisan media completely and transparently in the tank for Joe Biden, would mercifully switch off on November 4th if we just gave them what they wanted. Now it’s not clear that’s going to happen. Now it’s not clear we will ever know who “won” the 2020 presidential election. Only time will tell, I suppose. For now, we wait and see what the next debate and more importantly the election in November hold in store for us.
Strap in, ladies and gents.

99% sure the elite get too much of an anderinle rush being the bad guys to let things return to normal. It's like the queen Bee in high school that starts fueds between friends just to watch the crapshow that starts afterword.

One thing's for sure, Trump winning the election would no doubt result in the most violence .

"BEEP!"
I don't know man, if Biden wins it may be what pushes the right over the edge. We may start seeing violence from them if that ends up being the case.

Violence in general is awful but i can't say i'd blame them if that is what happens, since the left will be able to attack people with impunity .
The media went all in on this fight for 4 years strait, and their getting tried and their getting more and more sloppy. Can they survive another 4 years at this pace?
