Here’s my suggestion, from a comment I posted at the Times:

America lost last night. The entire world saw we have a man who is incapable of acting like an adult let alone as president. I agree further debate will be pointless. However, if Biden refuses to debate Trump again, Trump and his base will claim he lost and is afraid to face him again. Biden must insist on three things as a condition for any further debates. 1) Trump must release his taxes. 2) Trump must agree to accept the election results. 3) Trump must condemn right wing militias and white supremacists, and call on them to stand down. He must do all of this again at the start of any further debate. Further, any moderators must insist he follow the rules he agreed to, and shut off his mike when he won’t. Trump will never agree to any of this, of course. That ends the debates without giving Trump anything to brag or complain about - except he will regardless. He cannot help himself. But we can.

I tried to watch but for the sake of my TV, I left the room and abandoned my poor wife too suffer alone. We may just not make it to Nov 3. If this is how he is willing to act, in such desperation to stay out of prison on live TV to millions voters, think of what he's doing in private. Putin and XI are his role models and 200k dead, whether by torture or disease, in a modern Western democracy at the hands of your government led by Trump is horrific. The DoJ, McConnell and GOP have much to answer for when/if this ever ends
