I like this response:
From Yamiche Alcindor, Washington Correspondent for NBC News:

EDIT: Kamala's Twitter account has now responded directly:
Ill be there on September 10th, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.

Each candidate writes out 2-3 questions for the other candidate (ones in which they also have to answer). These questions have to relate to policy and be made available to the candidates prior to the debate.
The debate itself will be strictly timed and involve a cross examination by the other candidate (kind of like policy debate in high school/college). Mics get turned off when time is up.
Then it doesn't matter who hosts the debate. Every news service has the option to broadcast the debate.

"Let the record show that the defendant did not answer the question."

(16,100 posts)But he sure wants to. He wants to pick the time and the place. Pure narcissistic behavior. I like how the Harris campaign won't allow it.

(1,261 posts)Basically Trump wants the safe space of inviting Harris to a Trump rally.

(26,306 posts)Tough guy Trump.
I once had a guy in Jr High challenge me to a fight, thinking Id back down. I said Sure. After school today. He tried to talk his way out of it but I was tired of him picking on me. I solar-plexused him and that was that. Prick. He never bothered me that way again.

(528 posts)If Trump cannot keep his promise to show up on the debate on the 10th, how can you trust him for any kind of campaign promises.
Trump gaslights America; he is a sociopathic liar; he gets joy when he thinks he has duped people

Leveraging media and avoiding possible misstep by only speaking on script is solid. It works. We got this!
kimbutgar
(22,385 posts)No one would hear the debate because his supporters would be saying his name constantly.
What a friggin coward. Kamala would sweep the floor with him and he knows it!
wryter2000
(47,081 posts)Could this mean she gets time on ABC alone and he gets time on Fox? It might expose his idiocy to a national audience, esp. if she comes on later and fact checks him.

(28,782 posts)was in response to Trump saying he wont debate her on ABC because hes in litigation against them so its a conflict of interest, where it was noted that he filed his lawsuit against ABC in March and agreed to the debate day in May.
