Again, Trump proposing debate dates, venues, rules, and Harris and her campaign refusing to respond is not Trump backing down. It’s the Harris campaign refusing to engage and negotiate additional debates. |
Neither campaign has an obligation to dictate rules, the campaigns work together to find debate venues, dates, and rules acceptable to both candidates. So far the Harris campaign has refused to do any of that work. They simply don’t have any interest in scheduling debates is the only logical explanation. |
Because the American people deserve to hear directly from presidential candidates in the historically accepted debate format. It’s not about what the candidates want, it’s their obligation to the American voter in the election process. |
The only way a viable debate will happen is if a third party (NPR/League of Women Voters) comes up with a plan. They either agree to that plan or not. They don't get FOX or ABC. No privately owned media. |
Trump is groveling. He looks like a child asking his mother for a cookie and she keeps telling him “no Donnie” it’s almost bedtime. |
Historically accepted? Obligation to voters? Trump blew up electoral norms years ago. He will look like a moron if he talks about historically accepted formats and obligations to voters. |
Back in the day the League of Women Voters ran the debates. The debates will not be accepted if they are not run by a third party. In our area there is a list of questions that are given to each candidate and the candidate writes the answers and they are published. Can we start there? If people need more information, maybe we move to the debate run by a mutually acceptable (to the American people) organization. |
Trump’s campaign is giving the Harris campaign opportunities to schedule debates and the Harris campaign is stalling at the very least, refusing outright at the very worst. Proposing debates is not groveling. Refusing to engage and schedule debates looks very weak on the part of the Harris campaign. |
Donnie's mother never told him no to anything. |
Trump showed up to the previously scheduled Biden debate and has proposed more debates with Harris. She is the candidate who has decided to not engage with her opponent and schedule more debates in front of American voters. She will not allow her campaign to schedule any further debates. She hasn’t given any interviews either. That’s got nothing to do with Trump. |
Has a debate been scheduled between Vance and Walz? Walz said that he wants to debate. Maybe that one comes first? |
We need to agree to disagree. Harris looks weak if she involves herself in his cons and nonsense. She is doing great and should keep doing what she is doing. Don't respond to his con games. |
Apparently this is what we will get instead of debates. |
Harris will look weak if she refuses to only debate her opponent one time. Presidential debates are not “con games.” |
He seems to have unilaterally arranged a debate on Fox and tries to act as if she is obligated to show up. She is not an idiot and is not interested in his bull crap and neither are her supporters. Have trump debate the empty chair on fox if you think that will be great for him. |
