Once seen, it can't be unseen.

a great Halloween mask..with an ear bandage for that extra touch..

if he makes any more excuses to avoid getting on stage with her.

He'll call his failure a victory, his cowardice courage, and his fear will be monetized and sold to every adult who yearned to have a Pet Rock as a child, but were afraid of taking on the commitment.

Glaring Cowardice for TSF.

show the empty podium!

at 2012 Republican National Convention talking to an empty chair??

and director and producer of movies. His whole schtick is drama. I do not see comparing such a (while accomplished) superficial performance with Vice President Kamala Harris answering policy questions that impact the people of America. Maybe it is just me.

The empty chair just looked, well, weird. It was just a chair.

Not really the same as a debate where Trump agreed to show up and then reneged. Everyone will know that Trump was supposed to be behind the empty podium.

to infer that T-Rump IS an empty chair.
..and a lot of other empty things,also.

He will pretend he might be there but he has no intent to do so. He'll pretend he was just yanking the Democrat's and "Liberal Media's" chains. His base will wallow in it with glee.

The debate organizers will have to plan to accommodate him so I believe a second podium is likely.

Whoever told her it would be a good idea should be fired.

Your viewpoint seems to be different than most other posters. Can you tell me why you think VP Harris should not show up for the debate? Thanks, in advance.

These things are not debates. The format doesn't allow time for anything with complexity. Besides you can't debate a shit throwing monkey. But our opinions are meaningless.

..trump wont show...

He sure got his points across. TSF not showing up will be a huge positive for us, Kamala can get
her messages out without him making a scene and lying about everything.

clearly

She might have prepped to handle the gish gallop, but she doesn't need to do it. She holds the high ground. Trump/Vance both pulled out from the debates. She's just being jerked around by the Orange Hellbeast (c. S.B.). I'd move on and go to a swing state that needs talking to. Donald shouldn't be allowed to repeat his performance trying to make her look weak. She has nothing to prove. He won't be there to debate.

His cowardice has already been shown. He's afraid of strong women. He can only beat up weak women. Kamala is strong, doesn't have Covid, and can wipe the floor with him. It is a waste of her time.

I get it that this would be an opportunity for air time. Make a speech in a swing state. Still get on air.

She can talk to the room and the cameras if Trump doesn't show up. He will, though. And she'll handle him well.

It's true, though, that afterward, Trump would criticize and distort everything she says, without Harris having the benefit of responding directly to him that she would have in a debate. So, I don't know if showing up would benefit Harris, but it's her call to make.

Every time she gives a speech. She has this opportunity to appear before America and the rest of the world and answer questions and discuss her policies regarding those questions.

She can show up at ABC with a gaggle of reporters but I'm not sure how that looks.

If, on the day of the event, the network definitively cancels then nobody shows up. But her campaign has weeks of free publicity while they play the game.

K&R

This will be the best opportunity to draw from the ranks of those who are rational and undecided. I believe Trump will play some BS game by pretending he may show. The impending spectacle will draw some eyes that will stay.

What they will see is a RATIONAL, strong, intelligent, energetic candidate from a responsible and serious political party that is ready from day one to start doing work for all the people.

Also, Candidate Harris may handle this better than some may expect.

Nothing to gain, and everything to lose. Trump is going to stop at nothing to smear Harris, and the damage it does to her will NOT play well in the swing states.

A lot of people here and in other places are really naive as to what the GOP is capable of. The best Harris can do is not debate Trump and basically sit back while Trump and Vance self-destruct. There is no point trying to give the GOP ticket a second wind.

I am completely and totally against Harris debating Trump.

I love these attacks on TFG by the Harris campaign calling TFG out for refusing to debate
