Presidential Debates 2024

[ClydeR]

Just as I predicted. The debate scheduled for Sept. 10 will be hosted by ABC, to which Trump agreed. Now he is trying to back out..

I totally nailed it. After promising "anywhere, anytime, any place," Trump now says that he will only debate if it is in an arena, on September 4 and on FoxNews. If Harris does not agree, he says there will be no debate. He is withdrawing his prior acceptance of the debate currently scheduled for September 10 on ABC.

This is a strategic error on Trump's part. Expectations have been set so high for Harris' debating skills that there is no way she could live up to them. And Trump would perform better than he seems to think he would. Although the Harris campaign is taking advantage of Trump's apparent cowardice, they must be secretly relieved.

Soon, Trump will begin to blame his campaign staff for these sorts of errors.

I think Trump should honor his prior arrangement of a September debate hosted by ABC if Joe Biden is the one to debate him…

If I were Kamala Harris I would not accept Trump’s debate challenge. She hasn’t done a single interview or unscripted televised event since receiving the noble coronation of presumptive nominee. There is a very good reason for that. She should at least wait until she is the real-deal official nominee. That way the Democrat elites can’t cast her aside like a leper after Trump mops the floor with her on the debate stage.

Trump agreed to debate Biden, not Harris. And yeah, I would not debate anyone until after they become the nominee at this point. Too much wasted time for a possible rope-a-dope.

Not so. I bet you heard that from Trump or on from a news source that misrepresents the facts to favor Trump. Here are the facts, presented without any misrepresentation..

The criteria for the ABC debate are at https://abc.com/news/adaaae86-2621-4...tegory/1138628

It does not mention Biden or Trump. Trump agreed to debate anybody who met the criteria. The criteria are

• Meet the requirements in the Constitution to be President,
• Be on the ballot in enough states that it is possible to get a majority of electoral votes, and
• Poll at 15%.

At the time it was contemplated that Kennedy or another third-party candidate might meet the criteria, but that seems unlikely now. Harris certainly meets the criteria. Trump agreed to debate anyone who met the criteria.

She does not, she hasn't met those 3 conditions. She isn't on the ballot yet, there is a convention because until they actually cast their votes, no matter what the appearances may be, she isn't the nominee and isn't on the ballot in states. Sorry. There are stipulations about being on the ballot if you aren't the winner of primaries in the states that require formal nomination.

And then there is the true statement of cowardice . . .

This is what happens when you successfully pull off a coup of the nominee and install another candidate of the elite's choice as the new "nominee"... you lose all standing when it comes to agreements.

What are the dems going to do when Kamala is exposed as the empty headed suit she is after the Democrat convention? Do you have to assassinate her to get someone who can win in.. or do you try to assassinate the opposition again?

What a pussy Harris is. She is afraid someone might ask her a tough question and not kiss her ass. Your unelected DEI candidate can whine some more.

Edit: Also I was SO right in my last post! I correctly predicted Kamala would decline. Notice me Senpai!!!

She's already the nominee, the vote was held a couple days ago, about the time when Trump was getting his ass handed to him by three black, female journalists and he melted down. I can't blame Trump from running scared and begging Fox to protect him from a strong, independent black woman, but he couldn't look more the pussy if he tried.

She's like 4% "black". She's 50% Indian and probably 25-30% Irish.

Her great-great-great-great grandfather was Irish, immigrated to Jamaica and was one of the largest slave owners on the island.
