He always was afraid of her. He’s afraid of any woman who isn’t an Eastern Block prostitute/handler.
Why, though? His supporters will believe anything he says. Is something going to magically snap them out of their hypnosis? Will somebody actually say, “yeah, I think Trump, who raped a 13-year-old and can’t spell out the truth for shit, is someone I want for president!”? I know she “defeated” him in the debate, but what will change?
It familiarizes Americans with her and hopefully gets people off the couch to vote. Trump is working with limited numbers, if there’s a great turnout, she wins.

So Vance won’t be voting then?
A handful of moderate conservatives who might have voted Trump will be disillusioned with his cowardice and not bother voting at all. This is a motivate/demotivate election, not a change minds election.
Awww maybe a diaper change would make him feel better?
All she has to do is say she’ll show up to talk to the American people even if Trump doesn’t feel it’s important or if he can’t handle a debate.
Maybe even say it’s understandable given his age and general health threat he can’t handle it again.
And trump will 100% show up and make an even bigger ass of himself.
It’s against instinct, but that’s how you fuck with people like trump
Man oh man, do I hope the Harris campaign embraces this trolling-the-troll tactic, and that it makes an impact with enough of the bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe dumb-as-a-rock crowd.
We don’t really need any more debates. One was more than enough, and the election is two months away.
Under normal circumstances, the debates would help highlight each candidate’s approach to varying topics to help people better understand who they want to vote for.
Trump’s intentional unwillingness to abide by the debate rule makes it little more than a middle school kids insult match.
My main concern is if they have another one, Kamala might get cocky and say something that backfires and then the press will run with it like the Howard Dean scream. Quit while you’re ahead and don’t gamble away your lead. It’s not worth it.
True. But I would love to watch Trump get absolutely barbecued again…
Harris is the person that actually says the arguments to counter Trump’s lying ass that we’d think of on the way home from our own hypothetical 1-on-1 debate.
Not that I don’t believe this - Snell is a laywer and commentator seen on MSNBC and NPR - but I would like to see more than a screenshot of a tweet about it.
Not OP, but
Former President Trump told “Fox and Friends” Wednesday morning that he is “less inclined” to participate in another debate against Vice President Kamala Harris before the election
https://www.axios.com/2024/09/11/trump-harris-second-debate-2024
Mr “anytime, anywhere, any place” continues to have problems backing up his claims.
Maybe his bone spurs were flaring up again
Ok, you know what Harris should do instead then? Do a live AMA on fox with real viewer questions. Seeing those numbers Trump wouldn’t be able to restrain himself from demanding another debate. And this time it’ll start with an announcer going “round two, fight!” and not end before “finish him!”
She has nothing to gain from that. Why would she open herself to possibly critical questions she cannot prepare for?
Why should she be afraid of critical questions? Besides baiting Trump, Harris would also show that she will be the president of the entire country, not just the people who voted for her. I may have paraphrased that bit from the west wing, but it does have some merit.
If american politics should be less polarized, then you can’t have a third of the citizens feeling left out. What good can come from dismissing the topics that Trump’s voters feel are important? Make them feel seen and make them feel heard. No, you probably can’t reach the rally going nuts, but if people only voted for Trump, if they’d been to a rally, then he wouldn’t be an issue.
The US is deeply divided and the Democrats are deeply divided. Harris doesn’t have anywhere near the charisma of Obama or Bill Clinton. She will be elected on not being Trump. Take for example how she handled protests against the continued support for Israel at the DNC. She outright told protestors that they shouldn’t talk about it, because that helps Trump and she denied any Palestinian-American to speak, because the party is dependent on AIPAC.
She simply cannot be the president of the “entire country” at the moment. Addressing the rifts created by Trump, Hillary Clinton and the like takes time. Also she will need to purge a lot of people from the Biden establishment before being able to run on her own platform.
Your bar for her charisma is ridiculously high. Is it because she’s a woman, and they are expected to be more charming? She’s fucking fire.
Seriously, and even the slightest misstep, would just feed the rabid viewer base.
He was scared of her already. When they entered the stage he was intimidated. Go wash somebody reviewing body language and they’ll show you bit by bit just how bad it was. The part where he refused to even look at her no matter what his circumstances? Yeah he was terrified and no idea of how to process it.
S(he) (broke) him 😔
Well, he was on enough Adderall to kill a horse. He probably wouldn’t survive a binge that massive again.
“You play too rough, I’m going home!”
Worth noting, that the person who feels like they won the debate won’t want more because it can only hurt them. He probably thinks he won.
It could be either; he thinks he won or he knows he lost and has no hope of improving.
Fwiw I think the few undecideds that are left probably saw what they needed to make their decision last night.
Person who wins debate to gain more votes does not want more votes
The behaviour is also consistent with someone who knows they lost and expects to lose hard again if there’s a rematch. Maybe even more so if he had the impression he was holding his own while it was going and then saw what everyone else was saying after the fact.
I guess there’s always rational for either way being true, it’s all speculation anyway 😂
She should take the opportunity to debate an empty podium. (Mostly kidding, because when Eastwood “debated” an empty chair, he just seemed senile and silly.)
But I do think the country needs to see Tim Walz give a good schooling to JD Vance.

A whole debate with that would be silly. She could turn it into a town hall style discussion and run commercials with her debating and “waiting” on donald. He could be scared somewhere with a blankie.
Look at the debate from the start. His slow ass could barely make it to his podium before she was their to shake his hand. She was fast, confident, and looked strong to me. Donald looked like he was huffing to the stage.
Trump wasn’t going to say anything coherent anyway. Just stick Alec Baldwin up there and have him read AI generated nonsense.
Mr Conductor! No!
snorts cocaine
Fuck yeah, sparkle sparkle sparkle!
How about just a giant cardboard cut out with a button when pressed, just gives a random 30 second ramble from him.
It would honestly be good criticism since it would functionally be the same.

Or a handbag
I think the country seeing more of those two would really sway votes the way I’d prefer. So I’m biased.
But gov Walz represents as very genuine and honest and caring, and the more we can see some of that on our TVs the more we can believe that a most-good-soonest kind of administration is an option.
Look. They could lose. Or Harris and Walz could be faking, even if I don’t think so (or want to think so). Or gopnik fearmongering could be right and they could only be barely better than a Dump/Chance ticket.
Just give us this. We haven’t had positivity and hope since prez Obama and the hope of Change[TM].
Now, as I haven’t suggested everyone boycott for one particular single issue or another, I expect downvotes right to hell. So be it.
Waltz is the guy you want to be your dad, your uncle, your coach, or just the highly respected friend at the bar.
We need more of him. Clone him, someone.

It won’t change a single vote.
It will only change the way they say they voted.
It’s just like 2016 before the election, everyone is a devout libertarian, sticking by their principles.
Speaking of voter fraud, did you know nobody voted for Bush in 2004? Everyone you ask says they didn’t now, weird huh?
Is this actually confined? I don’t want to take what comes out of the shitter as truth

FUCKING ROASTED
uhhh… Is that “confirmed”? Seems to say “Trump still won’t commit” which is substantially different from “Trump won’t do it”
Yes. "confirmed’. He clarified that a second debate will not be happening
Where? In the article I see
“Are we going to do a rematch? I just don’t know,” he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “We’ll think about it.”
His comments suggest he is not altogether serious about a sequel. In a morning phone call to the co-hosts of “Fox & Friends,” he said, “when you win the debate, I don’t, I don’t know that I want to do another debate.”
“I wouldn’t want to have Bret and Martha,” he said, before proposing Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham instead.
Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he would theoretically show up for a debate hosted by either NBC or Fox, but first “we have to determine whether or not we even want to do it.”
“Obviously, he likes these debates and he’s good at them, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to step back in the ring, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t. It’s his choice,” Vance told Fox News.
Which definitely shows insecurity, but nothing definite (unfortunately).

“There will be no third debate”
His fans had the same thoughts you did and he had to later clarify. He didn’t want to admit it initially (what a shocker( but they forced his hand
Roasted.
Whoa, of course he tried to spin it as a win, but it’s still impressive that they forced him to admit he doesn’t want to debate Harris again.
His fans will probably believe his “version” of why he doesn’t want to, but for everyone else it’s pretty clear and that’s what counts.
This may be all true, for now, but don’t forget what a flip-flopper he is.
