Trump says he has agreed to offer from ABC News to debate Harris
2 years ago by jeffw to c/politics
Dude it was EVERYTHING lmao.
Crowd size
2020 election
Biden dropping out
The size of the room they were in
That there was a peaceful transfer of power in 2020
His leads in every state
It was wild that his campaign allowed this to happen.
Former President Donald Trump says he has agreed to an offer from ABC News to debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Sept. 10.
— ABC News
Is ABC News not in a position to confirm or deny this claim?
Also, no mention of the terms or format?
And then later he'll back out
The Harris/Walz campaign very swiftly made several public statements the FOX debate will not be happening.
But that doesn't matter. He needs the debate more than she does. There's never going to be a debate on Fox News because they aren't unbiased.
Democrats have most likely learned their lesson. Unless you're a rhetorical genius like John Stewart or Bernie Sanders, Fox News is a death trap.
Harris has a lot of pressure on her. People are basically expecting a total domination from her, so anything less than that could derail her momentum very fast. And Trump might be terrible at classic debating, but he is actually very adept at bulldozing others by ignoring speaking in turns, deploying a fire hose of lies and misinformation and loudly talking over others.
Let's hope for good moderation.
Remember that Harris is an experienced prosecutor. Her literal job has been dealing with liars, cheats, and various scummy and desperate lawyers for years. If anyone can shut down the Trump oral vomit, it's going to be her.
She is, but Trump is special. I don't know that any previous experience will necessarily apply. In the courtroom she would have always been empowered by speaking from a position of authority - Trump will show her no such decorum.
That's on the moderation, and I can't say I've seen good moderation for the big debates in a long time. They should bring in a grade school teacher who does regular debate classes and let them do what they know how to do.
In the actual courtroom he was insulting the jury, and even a judge who could issue contempt charges was struggling to keep order.
Or the previous trial described by the news as "tantrums in court", talking over the witnesses and arguing with the judge.
I'd like to hear an "anyway" when he's done and she gets back to her point. Like completely ignore his existence for a moment.
Problem is she might not get single word out with this strategy
She isn’t allowed to get frustrated because she’s a black woman. That’s the sad reality.
Not only that but she can't come across as condescending either because she's a black woman.
At the end of the day she must cater to low-info battleground state swing-voters. That is her target audience because she can do no right in the eyes of maga and she doesn't really have to worry about Democrats.
So what will someone like my uncle who fits that description respond positively to in such a debate?
Probably not a pissing contest, but constantly pivoting directly to saying, "look I hear you. I understand many of you are feeling the pressure in the economy. You've been told it's getting better but many of you aren't feeling it. I understand. But we have a plan to relieve some of that pressure. And while we aren't where we want to be, our country has recovered following the pandemic better than any country in the world. Slow and steady wins the race, and electing someone as volatile as Donald Trump who only helps his rich friends will not help the markets."
Once he starts, he won't stop. So that would be a failed plan by Harris.
Yes. I would love to hear her say, literally, "I heard everything you said but I didn't hear anything worth listening too. Anyway back on topic."
I don't know, that seems like something the Dems of old would do. "They go low, we go high" kind of thing. And also would let Trump completely control the flow, which is what he wants. I suspect the only way to beat him is to match him in loudness and push back with authority.
I don't think you can beat him by being "fair", you have to beat him at his own game.
What’s interesting is Pete didn’t come off as rude, to me, even though he completely steamrolled them lol
Also make sure he hasn't kiestered a weapon. Some brave lad go in and make sure.
You had to try really fucking hard to make this about race
I can't find anything about the debate rules, etc. Anyone know if its the same structure as the last debate?
He's going to spew so may lies, it'll be exhausting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They must be paying him
