Sure, but about as many people as showed up at his Montana rally will actually tune in. |
Still, the (Biden-Trump) debate was the highest-rated program in the network’s history, CNN said, as well as its most livestreamed. It’s also the most-watched nonsports program of the year so far, the network said. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna159413 The previous debate did well for CNN. |
Trump is just trying to get a favorable stage for himself. The campaigns have to work together. One doesn’t get to decide all the terms and then whine that the other won’t show up. |
Not sure how that’s relevant. You’re talking about a “debate” that just has Trump. No one is going to care about that. |
We’ve established that. The problem is Kamala won’t engage. Nobody is whining; it’s time to debate. If Kamala refuses to debate, Trump can do his part and let Kamala explain her reasons for not participating beyond the single debate Biden’s campaign agreed to do. |
It’s not a debate if both candidates don’t attend and participate. Both Kamala and Trump get free airtime during a debate. |
But winning that debate does say "I am a winner" so stay tuned. |
Both have agreed to debate on Sept 10. We don’t need more than 1 debate, they have zero impact on how people voted. Zero. |
The candidate behind always wants more debates, the candidate ahead doesn’t want to give the one behind the opportunity to catch up.
We all can do the math here. |
Exactly. Harris would be an idiot to go on FOX news. FIX paid close to a billion dollars for lying about false election results in favor of the orange man. FOX is owned and operated by Trump News basically. If you’re not an trump acolyte, you cannot be a FOX reporter |
Kamala is going to turn down the chance to beat Trump in multiple televised debates? Ans show the world how awful he is and amazing she is? |
Agreed. Chris Wallace learned this the hard way after moderating that trainwreck in 2020 and works for CNN now. |
The debate between Trump and Biden had quite an impact. I don't think 3 debates are necessary but the 9/10 debate and one closer to the election should happen A lot will change/develop in both campaigns in those intervening weeks. |
Bingo. Trump is desperate for attention. He's old news. No one is paying attention to him anymore. His rallies are empty. He's tried his old trick of making racist and misogynist comments and the Harris campaign has smartly just brushed them off. Meanwhile, Harris is the topic of all the headlines, drawing huge crowds and surging in the polls. Everyone wants to hear what she has to say. If she spends all of September in debates with Trump, then he'll get lots of free audiences that he wouldn't otherwise get because of all the people tuning in to watch Harris. She can just drown him out by ignoring him. |
Presidential debates are not done for attention. Kamala should relish the chance to beat Trump like a rented mule in front of a live audience and America as a whole. She’s scared. |
