i agree it would be inappropriate
why would a politician debate with a convicted felon
Is anyone on the fence going to be swayed by a debate anyway? I think the people who are really not sure about which way to vote at this point likely can't be reasoned out of wasting their vote on some third party.
To anyone reading this that is considering voting 3rd party, my advice is to vote dem and then put as much political pressure on the democrats as possible the other 364 days of the year. The alternative, while maybe morally pure, is a lot less workable and doesn't benefit others.
"There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.'
Somebody better tell Obama then so he can retract his endorsement.
Well Trump is a sex offender so I agree it's inapropriate to have any unsupervised interaction with other women
Ha! I predicted this!
I also predicted Biden’s disaster and asked people around me why the fuck is Biden going to debate Trump. People said “he has no choice”. I found that quite questionable. Now Trump seems to be proving that candidates have a choice.
Sure Trump’s cowardice will damage his campaign. But getting an ass-beating in the debate is even more damaging, as Biden proved. So Trump is making his best tactical move for his ability.
(edit)
I would like it if the headlines were “Trump forfeits the debate” to rightfully emphasize the lossy nature of the decision.
Coward
At least he admits he isn't in the same class as her.
He can’t handle that he will lose to a woman. He’s got nothing to fight her with except insults about women.
Fucking
P U S S Y
Now now, pussy is good.
What about fearful weakling? Sorry my English isn't up to scratch, maybe someone can chip in and help out?
This is the same reason he didn't show up to the republican debates: he knows he can't keep up with anyone.
So... Biden wasn't the nominee yet but he did a debate. Harris isn't the nominee yet but... What?
This is hilarious. Will this help more than going into a debate? Likely not, but they will have to do one after a nomination, right?
Convicted felon won’t debate his prosecutor
Donnie doesn't want to debate?
Running scared
"There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.'"
One thing I learned from the Bush II Admin was that you can run on stirring up rhetoric for a while--worked well enough to make him a two term President--but at a certain point, your policies have to align to reality or you will have catastrophic failure. There are also levels of making shit up, and the statement above might be more making shit up than anything Bush II ever pulled.
Trump running scared from a black woman, wow, I thought was supposed to be a "strongman" not the little bitch that he is. Draft dodging POS.
Damn. I lost that bet.
I thought it'd take longer than this. Mostly for trump to figure out which words to use. he has trouble with multi-syllabic words.
I'm not even American, but I'm gonna tune in for the debate, when it happens. It should be entertaining.
Bock Bock
I would love for them to meet on stage and Kamala runs up and grabs trump.
Trump flips out "wh..what are you doing Kamala?!"
Kamala scoffs "pfft, I'm grabbing them by the PUSSY, you dipshit"
Translation: he's scared he'll one-up his declining showmanship. Or more likely his advisors are and fed him some ego-shielding bullshit that let's him get out of it and tell his cult that it's her fault.
