Harris won't do Fox debate

MrNiceGuy said:
Indeed, but there should be no issue with one debate on friendly territory for each. There is no argument against that, other than the idea that Democrats should never be tested.

I don't disagree except I wouldn't consider ABC friendly to either, but 5 or 6 days between isn't reasonable....especially with 2 weeks notice. I think he is just praying for a leg up facilitated by Fox. He smells scared......and his tone these last few days seems off. Trump trying not to be Trump must be stressful for him......and I'm sincere in saying that.

The rules were stated to be similar to those in the debate with Biden. The reason the ABC debate is off is that was a debate between Trump and Biden, not Harris. You dont' just get to jump in to someone else's spot in a deal.

My understanding was that trump eventually agreed to the ABC debate.

If you're saying that you believe the FOX debate would be similar to the first debate with Biden , then the first question is where did you find out what the terms and conditions were? Could you share that with us?

If that's the case then she has no reason or obligation to trust trump or FOX. If they want an Audience, ( as trump demanded in a post) then why should anyone trust FOX or trump?

A Fox audience is a trap. No audience or no debate. She decides. She has no reason to accept terms that require trusting trump, and she has no reason to accept terms she doesn't want.

Also, Trump has a lawsuit now against ABC and Stephanopoulos, and that creates a conflict of interest. All the more reason to pick another location.

The lawsuit was in place and on the docket before he initially accepted the ABC debate, so you'll have to explain Trump's lie/excuse on that one.

why does it matter ?


Trump was called all those names when he was refusing to debate Kamala when Joe was ousted .... why can't we call Kamala all the same names when she refuses ?

I don't remember commenting on your name calling. I avoid it myself.

It matters if you want a circus or do you want a debate. Which? If trump has an audience at FOX it will not be a debate. The candidates will stand on stage but there won't be a debate because trump will do anything to undo an orderly event. Trump's only chance it to yell louder than her and dog whistle to the audience to raise hell.

So do you want a circus or a discussion? Can't have both.

Did you see the trump town hall with Kaitlan Collins? That's what a trump audience will do.

That's why it matters.

In your fertile imagination, maybe. The reality is very different. She'll wipe the floor with that barely literate buffoon, and he knows it. The latest news is that he's going to bring peace to the world with just a phone call; that's how hilariously delusional the idiotic prick is.

Trump is intellectually incapable of debating; the moment he feels threatened by a "nasty" question he can't answer, he immediately launches into childish personal insults.

And of course he means it, right? Does that nullify the years of abuse, lies and personal attacks he made against the Obamas?

how much hate and meanness and personal attacks on Trump last 72 hours ?

He deserves it. Trump has a habit of insulting, demeaning and instigating personal attacks whenever he feels threatened or is incapable of answering simple questions. It's his modus operandi. If he doesn't like the blowback it's on him to adjust his attitude. Right now that threat is Harris, and the infantile insults are all he has. Have you heard any details on policy if, god forbid, he gets elected again? Neither have I.

problem with that expression is who decides? if I decide Harris's shoe fits then its all ok right ?

Pushback is a bitch, ain't it? There's a simple solution for Trump. Quit the personal attacks, and the personal attacks against him will cease. But he's clearly incapable of understanding something so basic.
