Kamala Harris Is Trying to Back Out of the Debates. Upon becoming the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, Kamala Harris insisted that Donald Trump had already agreed to the September 10 debate to take place on ABC, rules and all, while the Trump campaign insisted that the agreement was with Joe Biden, not Kamala, and insisted on a new slate of debates — including a debate on Fox News. Trump, knowing that the debates would likely be a huge boon for his campaign, eventually agreed to do the same debate with Kamala as he’d agreed to with Biden. But now, the Harris campaign wants to change the rules. "The Harris camp, after having already agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements. We said no changes to the agreed upon rules," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "If Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to repeat the messaging points her handlers want her to memorize, that’s their problem. This seems to be a pattern for the Harris campaign. They won’t allow Harris to do interviews, they won’t allow her to do press conferences, and now they want to give her a cheat-sheet for the debate. My guess is that they’re looking for a way to get out of any debate with President Trump. Regardless, there’s no way Harris is ready to be Commander in Chief." We've seen these games before, and it never works out well for the Democrats. Biden dodged debates for months, and then "challenged" Trump to two debates, pretending that Trump was too scared to face. Trump then promptly agreed to all the terms, and wiped the floor with Biden in the debate, forcing him to drop out of the race. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/08/26/it-looks-likes-kamala-trying-to-back-out-of-the-debates-n4931981

You can lead the left to facts but you can’t make them think. .

Man oh man, those Kamala Harris internals must NOT look good at all if the media and our pals on the Left are already crying about the Electoral College and we still have 70 days left at the time of this writing. Chris Hayes doesn't seem to understand why we need that mean ol' Electoral College although if he thought for one minute it would protect the country from being ruled by a state like Wyoming you bet your arse he'd be one of the first to fight to protect it. But since he knows the EC protects the minority from mob rule and he's part of the mob ... he wants it gone. In fact, he feels like it is 'insanely unworkable'. No, really. Legal immigrant, Rex Valachorum was good enough to SCHOOL Hayes on the importance of the Electoral College and luckily he used fairly small words so MAYBE Hayes will get it: https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/08/26/legal-immigrant-schools-chris-hayes-on-the-electoral-college-n2400137

Back to the thread.

Kamala Harris' Fear is Palpable As She Desperately Tries to Change the Rules of the ABC News Debate In a move that will surprise no one, Kamala Harris is now pushing for major rule changes at the ABC News debate. That comes after her campaign spent weeks insisting that any deviation from the Biden-negotiated event would represent cowardice on the part of Donald Trump. According to Politico, Harris wants to do away with the muted mics seen in the CNN debate so that the candidates can have "uncensored" exchanges. This is a laughable shift by the Harris campaign. For weeks, she and her surrogates claimed that Trump was "scared" to debate because he suggested that the rules agreed to with Biden were no longer valid. Almost every major news organization in the country framed the situation as Trump "backing out" instead of noting that no debate had ever been agreed to with Harris, who wasn't the nominee at the time. Still, Trump eventually agreed to the original terms of the September 10th debate on ABC News while offering debates on Fox News and NBC News to complete the traditional three-debate slate all modern presidential elections have. In response, the Harris campaign refused to agree to the Fox News event while proclaiming the "debate about debates is over." If the "debate about debates is over," why is she insisting on major rule changes this late in the game? Her lackeys were quick to push the idea that if Trump objects to this bait-and-switch, then he's "afraid." Others pointed out the hypocrisy at play. Here's the real question. Why is ABC News even entertaining this? Kamala Harris demanded Trump agree to the original terms and he did. To let the Harris campaign now dictate the rules is insane, and something no legitimate news organization would allow. Unfortunately, we are talking about a left-wing network that is anything but legitimate so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they allow the vice president to change the rules and then force Trump to abide by them or not show up. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2024/08/26/kamala-harris-now-trying-to-renegotiate-debate-trump-signals-he-may-not-show-n2178534 .
