Harris Trying to Back Out Of Debate By Changing The Rules
Quote:Kamala Harris wants to change the rules of the upcoming, Sept. 10 presidential debate to be held on ABC. Instead of a normal, standing debate, Harris wants the candidates to be seated, and instead of both candidates speaking contemporaneously, drawing on facts and figures they know, she wants to have notes, as though it's some kind of open-book test in a freshman lecture class.

The Trump campaign's Jason Miller spoke to Politico Playbook, saying "Enough with the games. We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate. 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."

"If Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to repeat the messaging points her handlers want her to memorize, that’s their problem," Miller said. "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."


Harris has not held a press conference, done or committed to a long-form interview, barely takes reporters' questions, and has only agreed to one debate against Trump—one she apparently wants entirely on her terms.

Harris has also said she wants "hot mics," which her campaign said was, in essence, to catch Trump saying something off hand, something critical, that she could use against him. "Our understanding is that Trump’s handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don’t think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own," said campaign senior comms adviser Brian Fallon. "We suspect Trump’s team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they don’t think he can handle himself against Vice President Harris without the benefit of a mute button."

Trump has been amenable not only to the ABC debate, which he agreed to with President Joe Biden, who has since been pushed off of his party's ticket, but he agreed to all of Biden's terms for their CNN debate on June 27, which preceded the Democrat Party's replacing Biden with Harris. Fallon claimed that Miller's assertion about the requested rules change was false. "All three parties (Trump, Harris and ABC) have agreed to standing and no notes, and we never sought otherwise," he said.

However, as Politico notes, "At the time they accepted ABC’s invitation, the Harris campaign did so while making clear to the network that the rules themselves were up for debate. And if this current snag is any indication, that debate is far from settled."

"I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning," Trump said on Sunday, "both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s (K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network? Will panelist Donna Brazil give the questions to the Marxist Candidate like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton? Will Kamala’s best friend, who heads up ABC, do likewise. Where is Liddle’ George Slopadopolus hanging out now? Will he be involved. They’ve got a lot of questions to answer!!! Why did Harris turn down Fox, NBC, CBS, and even CNN? Stay tuned!!!"

There will be no debates between these two. Trump will be sentenced to jail next month which makes any debates pointless at that point.

I bet it never happens, and they will blame Trump, of course.

Kamala without notes would be risking getting blown up like Biden was last time.

I think this is the goal. To keep changing the rules where Trump just gives up trying. Even given the questions I don’t think she’ll be ready to actually answer the questions

Both Harris and her staff knows she’s not a legit candidate the moment the TelePrompter is turned off.

RE: Harris Trying to Back Out Of Debate By Changing The Rules
Trump should jump all over her request. When Biden demanded the mic’s be turned off, I said that Trump should agree to that. Just hush and let the mush brain fool ramble. What happened? In 90 mins, Trump ended that pedophile’s 50+ year political career. Agree to this moron’s demands as well.



Bring out an easel and start putting poster board size copies of news headlines and stories calling her “the border czar”. Troll her giggling stupid ass with some venn diagrams. She is a low IQ lightweight with 0 policy substance. Embarrass her.

The real Kamala is the one that has to think for herself without notes or charts. I would stick to making her do that. This will cause her to have to "work and study" for the debate, two things she hates to do.

Let her have notes. It will be fun to watch her referring to notes every time she attempts to answer a question.

He’s not going to jail unless Merchan denies bail which would be wild even for him to do. He’s going to appeal and somewhere up the chain the case will be thrown out

Would be fun to watch Trump come out with no notes and say “I don’t need them. I know the issues.”

either way it's two useless idiots (unless one is a commie)...

the message I prefer from #groverII would be, "think about it folks ... Kennedy and I have lived the bulk of our lives as Democrats ... why did I announce as a pub and RFK Jr. decide to support the same (basic agenda)? ... the MSM chooses to define such as a 'power/narcissistic' struggle ... however, we view it differently as a NET POSITIVE for the country that is continually shifting 'left of left'...


NOW, TELL ME WHO'S FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY vs demon'crazy'...

again, the tally is still in play as well...

Hell no... i wanna see her flounder and cackle and start spouting Word Salad when she gets hit with a question she can't handle.

No Hot Mics... (Was still surprised that was a Biden recommendation originally - that would have gone in the Dems favor IMO, Trump wouldn't be able to help himself at some point).
