For those who haven’t seen it:
“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Tyler said. “He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The vice president will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.”
Tyler said the Harris team would be “happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to.”
“Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th,” Tyler added.
I’ll never get tired of seeing it
Fox should be stripped of the trademark “News” and should be forced to be called Fox Entertainment. It wouldn’t change anything but I’d feel better
Well she can add ‘coward’ to ‘felon’, then.
Her campaign already swatted them down perfectly.
ABC should give her the hour!
I’ve heard that’s the plan. They’re dedicating an hour to the presidential candidates. If only one shows up then that candidate gets the whole hour
24 hour marathon call-in debate on cspan, let’s go
“Longtime caller, first-time listener”
She should not take this bait. Giving Trump the incredibly biased home field advantage this would lead to is not going to be worth it. Pro Trump crowd plus biased moderators will make her look terrible, no matter how good a debater she is. I’m not even sure the ABC moderators will be good enough, but they’ll be a long shot better than Fox and he already agreed to it. Hold him to it.
She should take the bait.
Go on Fox, every question, either hit back at trump’s felonies and that case (he is under a gag order that he absolutely will violate), or she should target Trump’s involvement in calling the 2020 election rigged. Fox is under an settlement agreement from Dominion not to slander the company, or promote guests that slander the company, without pushing back. She could kill 2 birds with one stone here.
She could murder him theoretically, and it wouldn’t matter to his fans. It would only incit them more.
Harris is going to eat him alive no matter the venue.
I think she is 1000x more intelligent and eloquent than he is, but a Fox News debate would be a massacre because she would be debating the entire channel, not Trump. They wouldn’t let it be a discussion. There are so many rhetorical cheats, fallacies, and subterfuges they could use and I guarantee you they would war game the show so hard there’s no chance she’d be able to say anything coherent without the moderator basically shouting her down or cutting her mic.
It would be like challenging Wayne Gretzky to a hockey match but when he arrives, the “hockey” match is actually a garbage eating contest and his opponent is a goat.
She’s going to approach it like a trial before a jury (and it really kinda is), hammer home the fact that he is a douche, and cause him to incriminate himself.
She’s gonna need some salsa or something.
His word is his bond.
I guess it was a junk bond.
Question One to Kamala: First off, how dare you!
“What gives you the right?”
“Snowflake demands safe space for interview for biggest job in the country”
I thought president was about to become a black job.
Not that this even needs to be said, but we all know why this is.
Trump needs his safe space. Trum needs Fox News moderators to throw him softball questions while trying to hang Gotcha questions around Harris’ neck. He needs the moderators to let him speak uninterrupted while cutting off Harris. He needs an audience full of cult members to tell him how great he is and how clever he is every time he speaks, acting like his own personal laugh track.
If he doesn’t get that reaction, he falls apart. He literally does not know what to do if there’s nobody there telling him how great he is. So he does what he always does when he’s not getting the reaction he wants. He doubles down on the hate. Repeatedly if necessary. And once he finds what works, he exploits it to ridiculous degrees. The problem is that doubling down on nothing still gets you nothing. So all Trump has is trying to double down again and again, wondering why he perpetually gets nothing. The NABJ interview is a shining example of this.
If he doesn’t have FOX news viewers cheering him on, if he doesn’t have the entire channel carefully editing what he says, if he’s asked anything other than pre-selected softball questions, then even he knows all he’s got left is having to stand on his word and defend his past actions, and even Trump knows there’s no chance in hell that’ll happen. It’s why he routinely disavows any references to his own former statements, even when he’s shown the footage of him saying it.
Trump knows he cannot win a legitimate debate. He can’t even win a debate with his thumb on the scale. He has to have his entire fat orange ass sitting on it eating a hamberder and drinking a cofeve to even have a chance. Why else do you think he wants it on his home turf, with his moderators, in front of his audience, on what is essentially his network? Because he knows that he has to have his fat orange ass on the scale, knows even that is probably not going to be enough, so he’s basically shouting to his base “All aboard!!” in hopes they’ll join him.
“Felon Republican nominee refused any debate not held on one very specific network, known to fund republicans”
hmmmmmm
“Any time, anywhere”, except it has to be over there and at that particular time.
You have to do the one you already agreed to first, old man.
