I really hope she shows up whether he does or not.

    Trump on Saturday argued it was “too late” to have another presidential debate because Americans have begun casting their ballots in the 2024 election.

    Trump has no idea who votes when. He’s just looking for an excuse to say no.

    I saw someone describe this as Trump’s Kobayashi Maru - if he goes, he’ll get destroyed again, but if he doesn’t go, he’ll look like he’s afraid of her.

      I don’t think that he’s likely to do any more debates. The last one definitely hurt him in the polls, and he’s been publicly making arguments as to why he shouldn’t need to do any more.

      If I were gonna guess, the only way that we’re going to see another debate with Trump is if he somehow falls so far behind prior to the election that his campaign thinks that a win is very unlikely and is willing to try for any Hail Mary tactic that might give Trump a shot at getting his hand back in.

      If he doesn’t turn up I really hope at the end of the ‘debate’ she looks straight down the lens of the camera, points and says “Convict Trump… Pussy!”

      his best play is not to go and hope that kamala dies a town hall by herself and gets hit on hard questions about Palestine, inflation, etc. I was shocked he agreed to do the first debate, should have just quit after his “win” against Biden.

    I was listening to the speech she gave in Georgia the other day, and she is one hundred percent using her prosecuters’ chops, and I love it.

    The tone of her voice, the way she emphasized certain words, then repeated them 3-4 times. The way she got the audience to repeat Amber Thurmans’ name and used the word preventable multiple times just before that to drive home how fucked up it is.

    She is very, very good, lol.

      “Too late”, because it’s past his bed time and he might shit himself because he’s a senile old shart?

        He is looking pretty tired. Must come with being so old.
