Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

2 reasons

She wants to see if he can possibly behave himself enough to deserve another chance.

She wants to see if he promotes his conspiracy theories the whole time then what's the point of another 2?
She doesn’t get to make that decision. America does. Let America decide.

She clearly does. Many people don't seem to get the whole "two people have to agree to a debate" thing.

Hey….if she isn’t up to it. I get that.

She's already committed to a debate, the rest are just stuff he made up without discussion.

Yes she did. Trump want’s two more. That is the normal protocol. Discussion? It has been presented to our VP, she has yet to respond.
 
Normal? He and Biden agreed to two for instance.



Yeah, so I guess we'll see.
And??? That has NOTHING to do with Harris. Trump is up to three…..yet Harris will only commit to ONE. Why is that?

You were talking about what was "normal". I gave you a recent counter example.

Because he just made them up on the spot when his sudden irrational withdrawal from the debate was looked poorly upon.

The way debates actually happen is by having talks with the other campaign.

And let’s see three debates. After all don’t we deserve to see BOTH candidates answering questions , instead of reading off teleprompters at rallies? I want questions answered. Don’t you?

That's an interesting way to frame what we call debating nowadays. I see a lot more lies and rambling off topic rants than straightforward policy out of the likes of Trump at these things.

But yes, I would be very interested to see how Harris preforms in that environment.

The one and only economic stance Harris has made ….is no taxes on tips. Which she stole from Trump. You cannot make this sh*t up.

A point of agreement, to help service workers seems like a positive. I'd like to see Vance and the Republicans in the Senate pass the child tax credit expansion as well. We could also pass the agreed to border protections the Biden administration wanted.

There's going to be a convention in a bit where the Democratic party will tell you what their policy priorities are if you wish.

LOL. They will party hearty. I want the TWO of our candidates in front of an audience answering questions during THREE debates. With NO teleprompters, no notes. That is the way it has been previously, why not now. By the way it is not what “I” wish. It is what our Country deserves.

Our country deserves better on a great many things, but blaming the lack of real substantive policy debates on the current Democratic nominee is quite funny.

Don’t you believe that it would be a good thing for America to be able to see BOTH of those who are wanting to lead our Country answering serious questions, not just reading the same speech over and over again off a teleprompter. I WANT to hear answers to questions. I am not blaming anyone. Trump has agreed to three debates, the decision to do engage in three debates is up to Harris. She was up in arms over him not agreeing to one, then when he agreed and suggest two more, she was shell shocked. Let’s do this for all of us. The more we know from each candidate, with questions and answers the better.

I simply don't agree with your premise.

I've seen Trump debate, if it ever becomes mainly a substantive policy debate I will be beyond surprised.

I am fine with you not agreeing. Doesn’t change my stance that America deserves to see BOTH candidates in three debates answering the questions American’s need answered. All these rallies are nothing but show. They do not provide any of us with what either candidate plans for OUR future. They are nothing but a theatrical performance. Debates give us the true picture.

I am assuming you have also seen Trump debate, so it's hard to believe this is your position.

"Theatrical performance" seems more apt.
 
She doesn’t get to make that decision. America does. Let America decide.
She decides. He's in no position to demand anything. America is already going to decide with or without a second debate and she knows that, and she still gets to say yes or no. Harris supporters don't have a reason to blame her if he can't control himself in public. Harris supporters realize his conspiracy mongering is not appropriate. Harris supporters don't care if he debates her or not.

Check out how many debates Kari Lake had in her bid for governor.

Actually I have watched most political debates for the past 20 plus years, although I will admit I may have missed a few. I spent a great deal of my life not involved in the political field. I actually regret my early years of not believing my voice mattered.
I am not at all concerned with what you believe “my position is”. The best thing for our Country is to get as many questions presented and answered from our candidates as possible. Knowledge from those answers is critical. If you don’t believe that is important, so be it. I want to be as educated as to the actual plan for OUR future as possible. Debates can help us all to learn.
 
He didn’t agree to a debate with Harris, he agreed to a debate with Biden.
Proven lie.
With that being said he surely agreed to debate Harris three times. He presented that to her . She has agreed to ONE. He is up for three. Why is she not willing to engage in three? What is she afraid of? I truly believe the more we see BOTH candidates taking question and the better. Three debates are normally how the Presidential election rolls.
Trump backed out of the debate with Harris because he’s scared. It’s hilarious.

Absolutely she can decide. Like I have clearly stated. The best way for America to get answers from both candidates of what their plan is for OUR future is through being asked questions, and answering those questions. Rallies are just a theatrical process.
Let’s face it Harris supporters and Trump supporters have already made their decision. That is exactly why debates and press conferences are SO important. Those independents deserve both.

The best thing for our country would be to have as many substantive policy debates as possible, wherever and whenever possible.

Having three circus debates doesn't accomplish what you are really asking for.
 
Proven lie.

Dear lord….let it go. So…here we are now. ONE debate planned. Both agreed. Now let’s see if Harris agrees to two more. Three is the standard.

Are you under the impression the three debates will be a circus. Or just the one that might be on Fox? LOL.
