    You're referring to Trump's use of outright lies and juvenile insults along with an updated replay with the birtherism that he used to attack Obama? Rather than referring to Trump's MAGA rallies as debates a more accurate description of the monologues he delivers at the rallies would be standup comedy.

    Bullhonky. He is still debating just one other candidate. Sorry if DJT needs months to get his lines straight. Guess he's not quick to assimilate new info.

    On second thought, guess he SHOULD forget the whole thing ...

    “It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space,’” Harris posted on X on Saturday, referring to Trump’s comments during debate negotiations with Biden. “I’ll be there on September 10th, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.”


    Trump falsely claimed late Friday that Harris had agreed to the debate on Fox. There’s no evidence that such a deal ever existed. The Harris campaign said Saturday that she never agreed to a new debate deal. A person familiar with the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning, said the campaign held no negotiations with Trump or Fox about a new debate. Fox representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
    ....

    Harris spokesman Michael Tyler said the campaign would discuss additional debates after the one Trump already agreed to: “Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Tyler said. “Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th,” he added, referring to language Trump previously used to pressure Biden into agreeing to a faceoff."

    Nah the deal is the same, it’s just the person he’s insulting that changed. I understand his dilemma though, now he’s gotta work on a list of brand new insults and nicknames for a new opponent for his disciples to cackle in glee at. I get it, I really do.

    DJT can't cope with a campaign curve ball. Yet this is the guy who claims he can handle international hostage negotiations. Hilarious.

    I’d like to see the language of the agreement before rendering a conclusive opinion but from the coverage it sounds like he agreed to a debate that did not specify that Joe Biden would be the Dem nominee. If that’s true, then as a matter of contract, it does appear that Trump is backing out of the deal and maybe, once again, he needs better representation if they didn’t negotiate the deal he wanted.

    Indeed. But it beats digging ones heals in for either one.

    Its funny how some posters are only bothered by a both sides opinion when someone is taking a shot at your side.

    I never see you say things like this when I say it about the right....which I do...often.

    Hmmm.

    Liberal?... Lol... Well, if you say that you are no longer a Republican, I have to believe you. Now, it makes sense why you let so many lying titles about TRUMP GET POSTED HERE. It seems to be okay if a Liberal here starts those HATE THREADS that are down right lies about president Trump... I will not point them out... that's not my job.

    hatin' Trump. It's conservative thing for some. The socialist workers party (pubs) don't understand.

    Despite the increase in domestic production and employment, the costs of these 2018 tariffs are substantial: in a partial equilibrium setting, we estimate increased annual consumer costs of around $1.5 billion, or roughly $820,000 per job created.

    Yep. Tilly is a closet lib. Sounds totally accurate and not at all the result of corrupted thinking.
