Exactly...

That’s all this states.

I know that is tough to grasp, but only one party here hasn’t selected a nominee for president yet.


I could understand not wanting to do the actual *debate* until Democrats have an official nominee. That would make sense because, theoretically, they could change their nominee again if things went bad. [I mean, that would be suicidal, but I guess it’s theoretically possible.] But that’s not what’s happening here. The debate currently on the schedule is set for September, well *after* Democrats will have locked in their candidate. Democrats have no chance of changing candidates after the next scheduled debate, so what’s the problem with just keeping it as is? Wouldn’t it be better for Trump if he just said, “No problem. I’ll debate whoever the Democrats put up on stage. Doesn’t matter to me.” Instead he’s kind of flailing here, which makes him look weak and flaky.



He’s already done the dems a huge favor by having the earliest presidential debate in mordern history and allowing them to reset the race and dump their INCUMBENT President.

I probably wouldn’t put out that provocative of a statement but there’s no way, if I were him, I’d agree to ANOTHER debate before my opponent is locked-in.

Not getting bait-and-switched twice. Why waste resources on debating someone you’re not sure will end up being the nominee. They ditched their own incumbent president for goodness sakes.


But literally no one is talking about picking anyone else but here. She’s had an insane groundswell of support from the base!


And not just the base. A number of GOP former elected officials have endorsed her as well as the Nikki Haley PAC.


Which is why dems had a total hard on for Nikki- until she showed up at the convention. Then she was a nazi, again. Just like that.


If you endorse a Nazi, it makes you complicit.

This isn't hard. You are either for our republic and freedoms, or you are not. Nikki made her choice.

Agreed! His statement highlights the disarray behind the Biden/ Harris catastrophe. The media is fickle and acting like it never happened.


There was no disarray. This transition could not have been executed any more smoothly and effectively.


The one minute warning to his staff was smooth af. Then they found out via tweet. Perf.


And?

From that moment, Harris rebranded the campaign materials, reached out to potential competition and got their endorsements and had a 24 hour fundraising run that needed the biggest one day haul in American history. She has absolutely nailed her public appearances and her surrogates have hit the ground running with both fundraising and volunteer drives.

You may disagree with her policies, but from a management standpoint, from Sunday to this moment I am typing, her execution has been flawless.

I never liked Haley.

Also, I though the next debate was in September, after the Dem convention.

He got lucky that on the first 10 minutes, the script was written. As the debate went on, Biden got much better and Trump got much worse. And the media focused on Biden and totally ignored Trump's hundreds of lies.


It’s true. If you read the transcript of that debate, Biden actually comes off better than Trump. And if you fact check it, the difference is even more apparent.


I’d like to take the drugs you’re on!

Harris who did so poorly in her first debate as a candidate for 2020 that she had to quit before the first primary??? Yes, sure.

Funny to see the MAGAs running around like headless chickens.

Are you not able to read?
It has been posted numbers times on this thread:
The debate he is backing out of, is AFTER DEMOCRATS HAVE LOCKED IN THEIR NOMINEE.
So what if it isn’t Kamala? Whoever takes the stage, in the debate we are discussing , will be the nominee.


Because it takes time and resources to prepare. Why waste a week or two of time and resources preparing to debate someone who might not end up being the nominee. But still being locked in to the debate date with someone new.

Especially when you already debated and figuratively destroyed the incumbent President you’d assume you’d be going up against?


So you’re saying that Donald needs to start preparing now for a September 10th debate? The guy who has said publicly that he doesn’t prepare for debates?


+1

Kamala Harris will be the official Democratic nominee by August 7th, which is the deadline to get on the ballot in Ohio. That’s over a month before the scheduled debate.

What would you disagree with? Trump "won" the first debate because of the difference in energy levels. It wasn't because of substance. This time, Harris will bring an energy level he's going to struggle to counter (prosecutor plus positivity). If he tries to bully her, he's not going to come out looking good, and she'll be able to counter anyway. He doesn't have any edge going into this one (and yes, it'll happen because she'll bludgeon him by calling him a coward until it does).

You mean the debate where she blasted Biden on his busing hypocricy? Yeah, I think she did pretty well, but everyone knew Biden was going to be the candidate.

Yeah that’s the thing I don’t get. Trump’s definitely going to do a debate anyway. This just makes him look kind of petty.

I think he’s trying to highlight the “disarray” of democrats but it’s actually making him look cowardly.
