Another non-answer... You're not ducking the question are you? Are you in favor of a Presidential debate between Harris and Trump or not? It's not a tough one to have an opinion about. What say you?
I didn't dodge anything. You asked
Do you think the majority of Americans would like to see presidential candidates debate each other?
And I answered by giving you the statistics and my extrapolation of them. So the answer here is NO.

You asked me if I wanted it, and I told you I didn't care - that means I'm indifferent.

You wanted me to answer YES the first and NO to the second, and when you didn't get those answers, you got butthurt and started accusing me of dodging.

Not butthurt at all. Why didn't you just say, No? Why the waffling? Are you really indifferent about whether Presidential debates should happen? I don't believe it's because your stats say the attendance for them is low. That's pretty weak. Don't you think Trump would beat Harris in a debate? Why not endorse it?

Because it's just extrapolation of a past result, not a poll I conducted.

And if he does, will they replace her as well? What if the next DNC candidate is actually likeable?

Wow. I asked if you thought Trump would defeat Harris and you still don't answer. Do you get docked if you actually answer a question? How about this, Is America great? I've heard MAGAs actually answer that one Want to give it a go?

America is pretty good. Very good as a whole country (perhaps the best). Quite good for the median person, but perhaps not the best in that regard (I think there are better countries than America for the median citizen).
 
Because I don't know much about Harris.

Yet you assume she wouldn’t make a good president.

Considering you don’t know that much about her, the only reason left standing is that maybe you don’t like the fact that a black woman is running?

Unless you can give another valid reason?
 
Trump should not shy away from a debate with Harris.

He needs to point out that Kamala would be a complete disaster as POTUS/Commander-In-Chief.

• Weak on Border Crisis
• Lack of accomplishments
• Would eagerly violate 2A and ban certain types of weapons
would Raise taxes on all taxpayers
• would increase reckless spending and reckless borrowing
• ban fracking
• impose draconian restrictions and regulations on Businesses

Trump needs to explain why Harris has been, and would be a bad leader. Voters need to know this stuff.

Trump has declared that he would do exactly that. Tariffs are taxes.

Lots of good info available on Harris. If you're going to keep up on DP, you'll want to make yourself familiar with her. She running for President against Trump. What countries do you say are better for median citizens?

I'm not 100% sure, but perhaps Luxembourg and the UAE.

So you think she’d be a good president, then.

Can we count on your vote?
Depends on how her ontheissues record develops.

Against her:
  1. Her anti-gun stance.
  2. Her Pro-Student loan debt forgiveness.
  3. Free college tuition.
In her favor:
  1. I do like her legalization stance, though her's is limited to marijuana it seems.
  2. Pro-abortion stance.

I don't like handouts (big nanny government) and own guns. On the other hand, I neither get abortions nor use illegal drugs (despite my stance in favor of their legality). So I place more weight on the "Against her" section in this.
 
Those all sound like good MAGA attack points, but Trump has a tendency to lose track of a topic when he's speaking and start rambling. Think that might hurt him in a debate with Harris?
I look forward to the debate between Trump and Harris.

Trump is fit to be president, and Harris is not. The only strength Harris has on Trump is abortion/reproductive rights. Sadly for Kamala, abortion is far down on the list of issues on Independent voters' minds. (#6 or #7, depending on which list).

Harris will need to explain why her performance on Border and Immigration matters in the past 3.5 years was so abysmal. She will need to explain why she wants taxpayers to provide Health Care for illegals. This is really objectionable to many independent voters.

She will need to explain how she intends to go above the U.S. Supreme Court which has ruled that AR type rifles are protected by the Second Amendment, and that banning them would somehow not be an infringement.

She will need to explain why she will raise taxes on the middle class and the working class.

Harris has a lot of explaining to do, and Trump will certainly exploit her many weaknesses on the debate stage. I'm really looking forward to it.

Do you think the race attacks will continue? Should they?
 
I'd watch it. That District Attorney will grab Trump by his elementary school vocabulary and shake him. And he knows it. His fear will be visible.
trump will need 2 diapers for the debate.

The 78 year-old authoritarian isn't fit to be president.

Trump's tariffs will raise taxes on the middle class.
 
He already won the Presidential debate. Not sure why people take it for granted that he has some sort of obligation to redo the debate whenever the DNC replaces their baked potato candidate. Trump warned the DNC of this and they didn't listen.

Now the left is expecting Trump to have to do extra work for their screw-up?
Actually, he agreed to 2 debates, this is merely the second of 2.

Fair enough. You’re far better than most, who would just stomp their Buster Browns and say they aren’t voting for “Cowmalla” because she’s a dumb old poopy head.
 
Well if he agreed to a second debate later on, I think he should do it, even if it's with Kamala and not Biden.
Yep.

Trump had agreed to TWO debates.

Now he’s backing out of the second.


Why? Scared?

That's a pretty good list of talking points that I see often and would like to hear her to address directly, but I fear that Trump isn't smart or disciplined enough to keep himself from going on unrelated tangential rants and lectures instead of answering the questions posed to him, and the debate will end up running out of time. Again.

The truth is Trump was very smart and disciplined during the debate with Dementia Joe. It was total 180 turn-around from his old style of debating.

The strategy really worked because on a few occasions, poor Joe was like a deer caught in the headlights, and Joe's abysmal debate presence was the impetus for him leaving the race.

It's unlikely that Kamala will zone out like Joe did, however she has her own skeletons in the closet. Biden appealed to moderates, whereas Kamala is a radical leftist with very extreme views, and more importantly, she is really disliked and not trusted by many independents. Joe didn't have those issues - Joe was considered a 'moderate', and had a record of achievements, and generally, independents didn't dislike him.

Also, although Kamala has not endorsed Hamas directly, she has aligned herself with people who DO support Hamas, so there's a bit of guilt-by-association thing going on that Trump should use to his advantage.

IMO it should be an easy task for Trump to expose Harris' leadership deficiencies. Kamala Harris would be a disaster as POTUS/Commander-In-Chief. Trump's job is to show this during the debate.
