Protective Pelosi Pities Puzzled Presidential Prospect

Democrat ice cream lady Nancy Pelosi wants Basement Joe to avoid any debates with President Donald Trump:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she doesn’t think there should be any presidential debates ahead of the November election, arguing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden shouldn't "legitimize" a discussion with President Trump.
“I don’t think that there should be any debates,” Pelosi told reporters. “I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that anybody has any association with truth, evidence, data and facts.”
Should be an easy debate to win, then.
“I wouldn’t legitimize a conversation with him nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States,” she added.
Did Nancy miss the 2016 election? It was in all the papers.
“I think that he’ll probably act in a way that is beneath the dignity of the presidency,” she said, citing what she called his “disgraceful” actions during the 2016 debates with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“He does that every day,” she added. “But I think he will also belittle what the debates are supposed to be about.”
Pelosi thinks a lot of things. This is what she was thinking four years ago: "Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States. Take it to the bank, I guarantee it."
Instead, Pelosi proposed that the candidates take separate stages and answer questions about their policies in a “conversation with the American people” instead of “an exercise in skulduggery.”
She’s proposing a debate-dodging, press-protected “exercise in skulduggery” herself.
"Remember when he was stalking Hillary Clinton during the debate," she said. "Why wouldn't the press have said go back to your place? Why did they let that happen?"
George W. Bush dealt with it easily enough.
UPDATE. Protesters outside the White House during Donald Trump's nomination speech:
UPDATE II. Joe Biden doesn’t know what year it is:
Reacting to Trump speech tonight, @JoeBiden: "For the last four years, we were not having racial riots. When they occurred, we didn't have to call in the National Guard. We protected federal property without hurting people. We moved in a direction that made sense." #AMRstaff

A beautiful Bidenism: “We were not having racial riots. When they occurred …”
