Interesting that it took them that long to come up with such a flimsy excuse. So, does this imply that when a candidate is officially selected that trump will debate her?

"Marxist fraud." But if she's a fraud at being a Marxist, isn't that a good thing per the Repubs? Their attacks don't even qualify as word salad anymore. They're chicken gumbo.

Trump is full of shit clear up to his eyebrows. He is a criminal and should be in jail. The fact that Trump is not in jail points out the fact Justice is not equal.

The Reps have been ambushed like baby deer. The skill with which Kamala's team have been anticipating their every move and countering it swiftly is both fun and embarrassing to watch. Kind of like Germany vs Scotland in the Eurocup.

I doubt that Dems would ambush baby deer. It's more like applying insecticide to take care of cockroaches.

I am hoping that if trump does debate her, he will try the same stunt as he did on Clinton. He left his podium to walk around behind her. If he tries that on Kamala, she will be prepared. I think she should stop speaking, turn to him with a kindly and helpful smile, and ask him if she can help him with something. She should then kindly point out to him where is podium is in order to help the doddering old man find where he's supposed to be.

My apologies to deer, Indeed. I was trying to point out how their cockiness turn into a form of naivete that made them underestimate their adversary on the account that what Biden did is unthinkable on their side.

STOLLEN (in today's debate article) is a German pastry. The word you wanted, that can be applied to elections and debates, is STOLEN.

"Stollen" is also a meme used to make fun of Repub claims of "stolen." Much like "moran" is used to point out that Repubs aren't very good spellers on their attack signs.

Kamala should just debate a chair. Or a flaming dumpster. Or a flaming latrine. Same as if Trump were there.

I need to express a personal peeve: I get really annoyed at calling the PAB "President Trump". I might tolerate "ex-president" but even there, "xxx-president" is most appropriate. To be really clear "disgraced and convicted criminal, serial rapist and bankrupted business failure" comes closest.

Crash his next rally. Even better. Hire Mar-A-Lago for a weekend. Give interviews at the breakfast bar 'We've been waiting for two days for him to come here so we talk. Maybe he's got the runs?'

I can't think of a presidential ticket that has provided the electorate with such stimulating and interesting sound effects.

I think that fly's progeny have been surviving on the fly's 15 minutes - they should get together and attend the presidential debates (there are probably quite a few of them though really generationally separated

I still think a debate with Trump is a waste of time since he’s going to insist that there be no fact checking and will just lie shamelessly and gish gallop through every question.
