Trump should just leave it in the air if he's gonna go or not. Then randomly walk in an hour before debate.

I’d prefer she talks for 8 hours. She would be universally reviled after that.Time will only make her more unlikeable.

So you’re not voting for Kamala? But you genuinely believe that the man who just got shot in the face is scared to debate her? Why do you think that? Tell me which policies she supports that Trump is scared to debate

The man got up after getting shot yelling FIGHT!

You have to be a complete moron to think he’s afraid of a cackling moron.

What he does understand, which it seems you don’t is contracts. He was scheduled to debate Joe Biden, now he isn’t.

Which necessitates an entirely new negotiation.

I welcome someone offering an alternative explanation as to why swapping Biden for Kamala should make Trump want to not debate on ABC anymore.

He should make it seem like he’s not going to show and then show up last minute to make ABC & the Dems scramble. Kamala wouldn’t know what to do.

Trump should do a townhall with Tucker during the same 90 minute slot. Crush her in the ratings.


This would be awesome.

I find it interesting that your first thought is “he thinks Trump shouldn’t back out of the debate? He must be a Kamala voter” rather than “he thinks Trump shouldn’t back out of the debate? He must think Trump will mop the floor on ABC!

That said, I’d like to see him press her about harmful climate change policies and how his plans for tariffs will bring manufacturing back.

Even if you’re the 86 Bears playing some high school team… if you sit on the sidelines the entire game the other team will win.

Trump’s excuse will undoubtedly be that ABC is.biased (true). But how’s anyone going to believe Trump will ”drain the swamp” if he can’t (or won’t) even show up for a debate?

If he can’t handle ABC’s “moderator” how will handle the deep state?

Probably because this was already agreed upon and Trump reneged once it became certain there would no longer be a turnip on the other side of the stage. The Trump campaign ALREADY AGREED to the ABC debate but now is refusing.

The correct thing to do would trade it off- do one on abc and then do one on Fox.


This strategy by Kamala campaign is them trying to weasel out of a full debate schedule by pushing Trump campaign to do the previously agreed to schedule that was agreed to when Biden was the candidate.

Trump campaign should counter and push for the traditional full 3 debate schedule with Kamala after the DNC.

She would re-neg on the Fox debate if ABC is first. And how will she go face to face with Putin if she can't handle poor little ole Fox

They know this. So they will get all the “good stuff” in in the first 10-15 minutes so they can have sound bites and when most people turn her annoying arse off, the damage will be done and the next news cycle established.

You answered your own question:

Trumpnis invited, they’ve provided access.They cannot make him show up.

FWIW, same applies to advertising. If candidate A pays $20 for a commercial, it doesn’t mean they have to give candidate B a commercial for free to create “equal time” But if candidate B wants to pay $20 for a commercial, they have to sell it to him, and they can’t charge him a different price.

Will the optics be terrible for Harris when Trump gets a free 90 minutes the week before from Fox?

ABC, “What’s it like running against the literal reincarnation of Hitler when you are such an inspiration candidate to the entire country?”
