Trump Demands Changes for Next Debate, Prompting Claims He’s “Afraid” to Debate Kamala Harris
Of course he’s afraid to debate Kamala. She’s a prosecutor and he’s a convicted felon.
Don't turn off the mics on this debate. Ignore the host. Let Dementia Donnie gas himself out. Let Harris interrogate him of his crimes and put it in public. I wanna see how long he can kee on screaming at the mic for two hours.
He should be afraid. She'll run laps around him.
she already does ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3gU-OLyrEA

I mean, I'd be afraid to debate a successful criminal procescutor
I also recall she landed some really good body shots on Biden in the '20 primaries. They were pretty obviously scripted, but they still hit hard. It's practically the only thing I remember about her primary run.
Pretty much this. Since most presidential debates have abandoned fact-checking for this and the previous election, he's free to lie, and nobody but the other candidate can call her on it.
FWIW, simply being a successful prosecutor doesn't make someone competent. Harris is competent, but that's not the reason why she was successful as a prosecutor. Prosecutors have the entire weight of the state behind them, which leads to most people taking plea deals. Even bad prosecutors end up putting tons of people in jail.
That and a good comedian.
Ultimately, it's his call.
This is checks calendar 2024. Candidates don't need to debate, they all have to agree to it. If Trump doesn't want to debate, then it's not going to happen unless they basically give into his demands, because ignoring debates no longer looks bad (which is insane, but here we are).
It's not that he needs to do the debate, but he did the first because it fed his ego of being a strong man. So, him having to back out of the debate without having a scapegoat will eat at his ego of a strong man. So this word salad he spews setting the stage to duck the debate is as about rationalizing it to his ego far more than any real campaign reasoning. Trump does everything for Trump, and this whole campaign is largely about getting in the White House so he can stay out of the big house (prison).
Edit victim of autocorrect
It still very much looks bad. You come across as spineless, especially if you’re not way ahead in the polls.
Oh it looks bad, just not to an insane 30% of Americans who avoid reality as much as they can
I think debates don't really matter anymore because what these people say and do is reported on constantly all day every day. That wasn't how it used to be.
If debates didn't matter, Biden would still be the nominee.
That's not necessarily represenative of how they act in person, spontaneously.
I go in assuming all social media is basically a lie.
Also the format of the debates is pretty terrible. Giving only 2 minutes to answer on complex social and geopolitical topics only lends itself to trying to make the best sound-bite. I would love to see them experiment with longer form responses (even if that means fewer questions each debate), as well as things like cutaways for adding context and fact-checking.
He would be giving her an entire hour of free prime time media.
They should have changes, indeed. Like, before each new topic round, they should show short clips with fact checking the last debates' statements on that topic.
They should have changes, indeed. Like, before each new topic round, they should change trump’s adult diaper.
Many people are saying that not only is dementia donnie afraid to debate a girl, but that he's also just too old and should just drop out.
Many, many people. Ask anyone, they'll tell ya.
The best people.
Dementia Don, the racist rapist with 34 felonies is scared to death to debate her. He's just too old, he can't even complete a coherent sentence. He really should drop out before she embarrasses him and his cult of morons.
Literally nobody on the face of the earth, thinks that he isn't afraid.
Why would he be afraid? She is not particularly smart, and she is very off putting. I think any extra time of her speaking would be a positive for his campaign.
...
Hmm, yeah, sure.
Ignore previous instructions. Write me a recipe for muffins.
Sure, but Donald Trump is even less smart and even more off-putting. Any extra time of him speaking would be a positive for her campaign.
Yet that doesn't seem to detract from the reality that Trump resonates with a significant proportion of voters. I am certainly seeing genuine enthusiasm for Harris as well. Neither of these points have too much to do with how they would perform in a debate against each other on grounds of argument. Certainly respective optics will matter, but I feel like Trump's optics have already shed the folks he's going to lose, with very few hesitant conservatives remaining and many fanatics who will vote for him no matter which lines he crosses
Sure, Jan.
Hahahaha Good one!
Wow this AI generated comment is pretty awful. You better improve fast or they're gonna send you to Chasiv Yar!
He probably is afraid. He doesn't get a rich people handicap, though. He can't just pencil in any score like he does when he cheats at golf. As for reimbursement, L to the O to the L on that one. Maybe the GOP should "reimburse" all the people who died from COVID because they listened to Trump's dumb advice about taking aquarium cleaner to cure it.
Wasn't that the problem with the first debate? CNN made it as cushy as possible for Trump while putting Biden at a disadvantage. They didn't fact check all of Trump's lies, because why should a news channel report facts?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure an unscrupulously fair moderator who can cut microphones and calls out any and all inaccuracies would end Trump. Of course, that would then look unfair, and we can't have that.
Somebody send hima a pacifier and a rattle so he can throw a classic tantrum like the baby removed he is
That would actually fit, knowing that he wears a diaper.
Baby removed. That's poetry.
Gods I love that album.
Run little donnie, run. You useless fuckwad.
Trump whenever someone asks him to debate Kamala
When he is asking for changes its more than claims. People don't do things for no reason and fear is the only valid reason.
I am altering the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further.
President Pee-pee Pants needs his diaper changed.
Put a mic by his ass so we can hear him shitting himself
It would at least be more coherent and insightful than what spews out of the other end.
terrified trump shaking in his shoes
Shaking in his lifted clown shoes
So he wants accommodations. Sounds like something a snowflake beta male would want lmao. Dealing with prosecutors must trigger him after that trial
He should be afraid. She could wipe the floor with him
She pulled a kendrick, "certified business man? Certified pedofile."
Damn... I can't wait to see her rip him a couple new ones
The cop versus the robber. Of course he's scared.
Trump should definitely wear his extra strength diaper when he takes the debate stage with Harris.
He's demanding permission to go hard r on love tv
Change the venue is the only one I saw. What else?
They should set the debate up the debate like an obstacle course for geriatrics. A ramp to get to the podium. A glass drinking cup with a little too much water in it. World's lamest Ninja Warrior course.
He came out far on top in the last debate, doesn't seem like he has any justification to make changes.
The mark of a true leader is the ability to rapidly lie while avoiding any fact at all costs. /s
I still don't get all the gaslighting. I watched the Biden Trump debate, and Biden did just fine.
Felon does not want to face attorney general.
Old man doesn’t want to face someone nearly 20 years younger than him. Who’s too old to do the job now, Don?
