The CNN and ABC Networks Should Now Cancel The June Presidential Debate.

 Does CNN and ABC really believe Donald Trump with his criminal record should be invited to take part in a Presidential debate?  In the past some members of congress have been forced to resign because of alleged behavior (some sexual) but none that arose to the level of Trump's rap sheet of convictions and large monetary fines for Fraud, sexual abuse, defamation and now 34 counts of criminal felony charges.  Former Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned his office because of a bribery indictment.

But now we have a Donald Trump, a republican party, a conservative media and some in the general media trying to convince the American people to accept the unacceptable, a corrupted convicted Presidential candidate.  Make no mistake, those who support or would vote for a convicted Trump supports corrupted politicians and therefore supports corrupted government.

Presidential debates and the Presidency itself should be held to higher standards. And when you add the fact that a sitting President, Donald Trump attempted to overturn a legitimate Presidential election and deny the lawful peaceful transfer of power to  the newly elected President Joe Biden, which was a traitorous act by Trump, it is unthinkable to allow a Donald Trump to appear in any debate or hold any public office.

CNN and ABC should  call off the debate and stand up to its responsibility of defending America's moral values as a nation and the historical norms of what the Presidency stands for.
