The GOP could have replaced their unpopular candidate with someone younger and more with it, but they didn't.

That isn't the Dems fault.

She absolutely will not and should not. Trump is too afraid to debate her on ABC. That is that. Who wants a president that is afraid to debate on ABC? No one.

Ah back to the coconut tree.

We don't buy this argument, but good try! It's clear that he is scared to debate Harris.

1000% It’s also another attempt by him to gain control.

+1 Trump is incapable of abiding by his own commitments and insists the world change to accommodate his whims. Let Kamala have the whole time slot on ABC if Trump is too chicken to debate someone who isn’t an octogenarian.

Was there an agreement in place for VP debates? There was only a week between Trump’s announcing Vance as his VP pick and Biden’s dropping out, so it’s unlikely that there was an agreement between Harris and Vance, specifically.

How will microphone control work during the debate?

To prevent interruptions, candidates' microphones will be muted when it isn't their turn to speak, an effort to curb Trump's tendency to interrupt.

The Biden-Trump debate had rules Biden insisted upon; Trump should not be held to any rules he negotiated with Biden.

Step up Kamala. Show us you are not afraid.

He can't debate without interrupting and a live audience? Then he should find a different job then being president.

Why won’t Kamala commit to the debate?

She did but not on lying Fox. They do not get to spew lies about the 2020 election and then get a debate for 2024. Lying actually has consequences.

The entire MSM lied about the health of the president of the United States and colluded with the DNC to keep the American people from finding out the president was deteriorating mentally and physically.

Prove it and get your big fat settlement in court.

If Trump is so old, has dementia, can’t speak or think, why doesn’t Kamala show up
to the debate and show the difference between the two candidates? She was a prosecutor and says Trump is the kind of person she’s used to dealing with. She should have be able to destroy Trump in front of the American people easily.

Yea. I’m a Democrat but this isn’t a good look for Harris.

Nonsense. Why should she play along with an obvious bait and switch attempt?

Trump already agreed to two debates. He should stick to his word (HA!) and attend both. If he wants to propose a third debate on Fox after the second previously agreed-to debate, he's free to do so.

Bait and switch? Like switching out the entire person doing the debate?

Um, the first nominee dropped out and was replaced by the VP candidate. And now Twump is uh-fwaid! MAGA cowardice = Comedy Gold!

Enough with the both sides nonsense. If Trump wants to debate, why is he shying away from the original agreed-to debate platform on ABC? Harris is ready to debate him as originally scheduled.

Yes both sides Both sides are behaving like 5 year olds. You are so far up your side that you can't see it.

Trump did agree to every rule Biden asked for and did attend the CNN debate.

If Kamala doesn’t agree to debate, she’s the candidate that refused to debate.

Then Trump's people should reach out to Harris's people about scheduling a Fox debate and work it out.

Trump debated Biden and has agreed to debate Kamala. She’s refusing the debate.

Has any previous candidate refused to debate before election day?

Trump backed out of a debate in 2020 with Biden and refused to debate at all in this year's primaries. Trump has a history of avoiding debates.

Commission cancels second debate between Trump and Biden
https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/09/politics/second-presidential-debate-canceled/index.html

CNN
—
The Commission on Presidential Debates on Friday canceled the second debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden after the President declined to do a virtual debate despite concerns over his Covid-19 diagnosis, organizers said.

The Trump campaign, in response to their candidate backing out of the debate, issued three statements on Thursday that slammed the commission, pushed the Biden campaign to agree to an in-person debate and said they would be willing to push the October 15 debate back a week to October 22 and then move the third debate to October 29, just days before the November 3 election.


But Biden’s campaign rejected their proposal, with campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield saying in response, “Donald Trump doesn’t make the debate schedule; the debate commission does.”

The Trump campaign has argued that because the President’s physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, has cleared him for travel, the commission should move the debate to an in-person setting. Trump is now in talks to do a town hall with NBC on Thursday in lieu of the debate, according to a person familiar with the plans, but that source cautioned things have not been finalized yet.

He wanted an in person debate. How is that avoiding debates?

“The Democratic National Committee has expressed full support for incumbent president Joe Biden and has no plans to host any official primary debates. As such, the debates held are instead sponsored by private organizations, and are only being held among Biden's primary challengers.“

Biden refused to debate his primary challengers. If he had, his mental and physical deterioration might have been exposed and democrats could have fielded a better candidate.

Ding ding ding !!

Winner winner chicken dinner.

let’s recap:

1Trump is terrified of debating Biden.
2
3Trump is a coward, Trump isn’t showing up, etc.
4Trump agrees to debate without an audience, press observers and reporters, and with the moderators controlling the microphones. Biden demanded those things before he agreed to debate. Trump agreed immediately.
5 CNN bans White House pool reporters from debate room
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/cnn-bans-white-house-pool-reporters-debate-room-2024-06-27/

WASHINGTON, June 27 (Reuters) - The White House Correspondents' Association said on Thursday CNN has rejected multiple requests to include White House pool reporters inside the studio during the first presidential debate between incumbent Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump.
The press pool, made up of representatives of major news organizations including Reuters, accompanies the president on foreign and domestic trips and normally has access to any event where he speaks or appears in public, with the goal of keeping the U.S. public informed.
It is extremely rare for them to be barred from an event in the United States.
"WHCA is deeply concerned that CNN has rejected our repeated requests to include the White House travel pool inside the studio," Kelly O'Donnell, president of the White House Correspondents' Association, said in a statement.
"The pool is there for the 'what ifs?' in a world where the unexpected does happen," she said, and to provide "context and insight by direct observation and not through the lens of the television production," she said.”

No fox debate please.

Agree. If fox wanted to hold debates they should not have lied about the last election and had to pay out that huge settlement. They are proven liers and have no business holding a presidential debate.

No Fox debate. It’s NOT a news channel. Blatant propaganda. Their tagline literally says, “the world according to Fox”

Leaving aside Trump’s conflict, Fox is not appropriate to host election debates given their attempt to interfere in the 2020 election results. Harris should not debate there— obviously. Buttigieg can show up that day to wreck Trump if he needs the attention.

Buttigieg vs. Trump would be a thing of beauty.

So would Vance v Harris!
