      “It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space,’" she wrote on social media platform X. “I’ll be there on Sept. 10, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.”

      She’s definitely signaling that she’s going to give him a spanking at the debate. I really hope it happens, and he gets into his defensive mode where he really scrambles.

        We have already seen what he will do. He will call her rude and nasty and then try to argue she isn’t black. He’s a brocken record at this point.

    I’ve been trying to think of a good response if he starts following Harris around like he did Hillary. Something along the lines of stopping, looking him in the eye and…

    “What are you doing?” “I’m just walking.” “Well walk over there. You following me around like this is creepy.” Looks to moderator, “Can we do something about this? This is weird, right?”

    On paper, pretty mild. But in the middle of a Presidential debate, I think it would be great.

      Better to just say, “You’re so weird” and then ignore him and continue with her debate points, not ask moderator for help. If he keeps doing it work it into a response like “I will work to earn the respect of people, not try to intimidate them like this weirdo here.”

      This. We couldn’t get a neutral debate on CNN. They didn’t enforce any time limits on Trump, let him ramble on as long as he liked and never shut him up when he went over it. And this happened on that so-called “liberal news media” that conservatives keep yammering on about.

    Maybe doing something at Fox could work, but it won’t be a debate. It could be entertainment. It will be a waste of time in this arrangement. I think.

      Faux News is first, foremost, and exclusively the conservative right’s propaganda arm. Can’t wait until Rupert Murdoch dies and his heirs tear the network apart fighting over the money.

        That was pretty good! But it didn’t get disseminated into the right wing news ecosystem. I don’t thing Harris being in a debate on Fox news will, either.

        “Who’s gonna pay for healthcare?”

        First world countries pay less per capita for universal healthcare than the US does to cover a minority and in the US the majority has to also pay for private coverage as well as the share of their taxes that goes to public healthcare coverage THAT THEY DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO. Implemented the right way, 100% public healthcare would actually save the US government money, implemented wrong it would still save people money because right now it’s for profit companies that cover them, the government isn’t a for profit business, it only needs to collect enough taxes to pay for the service.

    He was counting on the audience to yell over Kamala when she talked, and Faux to have mysterious technical issues when it came time for his mike to be muted.

      I think agreeing to debate an agile who can’t have an honest discussion about even the color of the sky was a mistake from the start.

      You’re giving a lying narcissist more of what they want. Attention.

      I mean, it’s not like they’ve really used fact-checkers in any of the debates before, maybe after the debate is over, but they rarely fact-check them on the spot. I wish they’d have a running tally in front of the candidates that was updated throughout the debate with a general “truthiness” indicator. Just a dial gauge that gave an indication of how many statements the person had made vs how many were lies. It could be a way to attach a quantifiable “score” to a person’s debate performance outside of just quips and one-liners.

      She could turn it around though by mentioning all the campaign promises he didn’t do like put Hillary in prison, building the wall was mostly done by Biden, drain the swamp when he just cut taxes for the rich…

      Like really hammer home the promises he made to Fox viewers that he broke.

        If she says “You didn’t ‘lock her up’ like you promised” he’ll just turn it around on her and claim that she should be locked up. Chats of “lock her up!” will begin as they completely ignore anything negative said about him.

      From his description he wants it to take place in the MAGA THUNDERDOME.

      Still think Pete Buttigieg would slay regardless.

      I have to admit I don’t know how Kamal would do, but that’s just my ignorance of her real time media savvy

        Fucking exactly!

        They and any other network that wants to be considered “journalism/news” should NOT be allowed to have their opinion entertainment shows on the same network/channel as their journalistic programs.

        It’s absolute bullshit that they’re allowed to get away with this crap where working hours when no one is home to watch is when we have our journalists on, then primetime is when we lie with impunity on our opinion shows because It’S EnTeRtAiNmEnT NoT NeWs!

        I’m really sick of the fact that Fox has had this decade long run of “The Days of our Trump’s” drama…

    I hope they are doing a ton of debate prep with her. He’ll be hopped on drugs to keep him going. He may be a liar but he is also a bully and very bombastic. He doesn’t have to beat her on the issues he just has to overwhelm her.

      I hope so too. I’m sure they are.

      That said I honestly expect Kampala to wipe the floor with trumps toupee even on her worst day.

      His last performance really showed he’s a one trick pony, and his one trick isn’t that good.

      Even if she just ignored the moderator, and ignored trump, and just talk about his shady dealings, legal problems, and shitty record as pres.
