    He says lots of things, wouldn’t be surprised if he backs out cause he won’t agree to terms

    Deal maker Donnie really doing deals here. Looks like he’s basically caved.

    Watch MAGA base desperately ignore another obvious example yet again if his tough words and weak actions not lining up.

    People will just say the debate was rigged. I remember people saying Hillary was “suspiciously” prepared and “knew exactly what to say” when she debated Trump. They allegedly told Hillary the questions before hand and left Trump in the dark.

    Hopefully they mute his mic when he tries talking over everyone.

    In addition, I hope Kamala constantly calls him out for not actually answering any questions.

      “Everything he just said was bullshit, and we are all dumber for having heard it.”

      They’re on Fox a week earlier, so they’ll end up muting Harris when she fact checks him.

        Harris isn’t accepting the Fox invitation, because it’s a stunt to get Trump out of debating at all unless it’s rigged for him.

        If she did accept the invite, I can’t stress enough how stupid an idea that is.

        If she accepts the Fox debate, they will manipulate the event to make her look bad and Trump good. It won’t be a real debate, and the hacks at Fox will ensure that it’s just a thinly veiled campaign event for Trump.

        After declaring himself the victor, he’ll drop out of any other debates as “unnecessary” since he already “beat” Kamala.

        If she doesn’t take the bait, she gets to call Trump a coward for refusing to debate at all, and he has no advantage and no excuse.

    She should back out, just to fuck with him. Who gives a shit, I don’t need to see her debate him.

      I literally cannot watch trump in a debate. He’s so unintelligible and disrespectful, interrupting and name calling and raising his voice, etc. any debate he participates in just turns into a children’s yelling match.

      Why would she hurt her chances with the mouth breathing electorate for a lazy and in effectual gotcha?

      You and I actually follow politics and understand that he’s a shit bag, but the election isn’t won by you and I. It’s won by betting Uncle Billy and Aunt Becky to the polls instead of checking out on voting day.

      She should school him on every question, every answer, every lie, and every insult/quip, and make America see him for the dishonest incompetent and spiteful person that he is. Just to fuck with him.

    — ABC News

    Is ABC News not in a position to confirm or deny this claim?

    Also, no mention of the terms or format?

    Now that is going to be interesting. Time to stock up on popcorn. Sadly, your debate is going to be in our middle of the night, so I’ll have to find it on YT later.

      Imagine forcing a Black woman to take a drug test just to speak, just so you can get a clean test back from Trump like a rube…

        There is only 1 broken down old fart that needs “medical” assistance to get through a debate just having this in the rules would make him pull out and run away crying

          Drug testing has historically been a tool of racial oppression. It’s an invasion of privacy and never leads to anything resembling justice.
