Trump says he is willing to debate Harris multiple times

Source: CNBC

Published Tue, Jul 23 2024 2:51 PM EDT Updated 4 Min Ago


Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would be willing to debate Vice President Kamala Harris multiple times if she is nominated, as expected, by the Democratic National Convention as the party’s presidential candidate.

“I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually,” Trump said on a call with reporters, two days after President Joe Biden in a stunning move dropped out of the election contest and endorsed Harris as his replacement atop the Democratic ticket.

“Yes, absolutely, I’d want to” debate Harris, the Republican nominee said. “I think if you’re in the Democratic nominee or Republican nominee, you really have an obligation to debate,” he said.

“So, it’s very important,” said Trump, who was formally nominated last week, two days after narrowly avoiding being killed in an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania.

It makes him seem strong to his cult. There is no way he would stand with her on a debate stage, particularly when the moderator(s) would, hopefully, be far better chosen and would actually moderate instead of sitting there like dummies. She would catch him in every lie, she would make fun of him, she would surely rattle him. She's at her peak and sharp as a tack, he is an old man with dementia. She was a prosecutor, she knows how to find his weak spots.

Kamala obviously doesn’t need any help, but she shouldn’t have to waste her time correcting every lie that comes out of his mouth either. She would have no time for anything else! Can’t we use AI for fast, real-time fact checking throughout the debate? You can’t have a real debate when everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie! It’s infuriating!

He won't debate under rules that prevent him from acting the fool. He loses nothing by saying he'll debate multiple times, because he knows the rules won't be in his favor, so he can allege an unfair practice and back out.

I don't want her to waste her time, anyway.

we all know that if Pres Biden had been feeling well, Biden would have eaten the liar Trump alive!!

And Harris will do the same.




https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/23/trump-says-he-is-willing-to-debate-harris-multiple-times.html


........On Tuesday, Trump suggested that any debate with Harris would not be hosted by ABC.

“I’m not thrilled about ABC because [of] fake news I watched last night,” Trump said. “They’re actually trying to make a hero out of Joe Biden when he was the worst president in history, and they were doing things like with Kamala, like what a wonderful thing that she is running.”

“I don’t like the idea of ABC.”

Trump also said he expected that his debate against Harris would have the same result as his debate against Biden.

“I want to debate her and she’ll be no different because they have the same policies,” Trump said.

Trump said he would not have picked a different running mate other than Sen. JD Vance of Ohio if he had known Biden would be dropping out.
