Did he pull out because he can not physically attend since isn't he supposed to be sitting in an orange outfit in a cell somewhere?? |
He just wants attention. |
He should be in that orange suit, orange head head to toe! |
Let's guard against over confidence because it's still a very tight race. She is getting a huge bump now but there is such a thing as peaking too early. The next 100+ days cannot be taken for granted. Above poster is right that she should show up and and answer questions. Actually, this would be ideal because she wouldn't be bothered by his machinations! |
People deserve to see at least one debate. |
Truthfully debates are VERY stupid. They are almost always poorly run, they cater to stupid questions and stupid answers, they are rehearsed and rarely tell you about a candidate that wouldn't be well delivered in some other way. The Biden one was one of the few debates ever that really mattered. |
Which is why the importance of debates will only become more mythical. “Remember when…?” they will say. I agree with you though. Debates aren’t really a useful format. I would prefer a really in depth interview. Preferably with someone from foreign press who really asks questions. Or maybe the Hot Ones guy. |
Just have a non-cable news reporter ask the questions. But candidates won't agree to it. I would love Hot Ones Presidential Edition—I'm a journalist and that's an incredible effective tactic to break through media training/scripted bullshit. I wish I could make the people I interview eat hot wings before they take my questions. Kamala would do it too—I bet she can handle spicy food. Trump would never agree to it. He hates spicy things or any preparation he doesn't recognize. He would probably also poop himself. Notorious weak stomach. |
100 % agree!.. |
It’s fair to wait until the actual Democratic convention. I really don’t see the big deal here. |
I agree with this too, we don't need a debate right now. I feel like closer to the election is better anyway. It will be fresh in people's minds. |
Where? |
Because he didn't say "I'm happy to do it once she's the Democratic nominee", it's because he said it in a totally batshit crazy way. Also, she has it so sewed up, that it doesnt' matter if she gets to the convention before you debate her, but it's a good reminder that Biden worked him the hell over by tricking him into an early debate and then waiting until he had picked Vance to drop out... |
He already wasted time and money on Biden. He doesn’t want to waste more on Kamala just to have another substitute when they realize she can’t beat him either. |
Record setting fundraising from small numbers and a reversal of polling leads—yeah, she's here to stay. |
