    That is the topic
    How can no audience favor one candidate?
    How can muted mics favor one candidate?
    Both equally impact both sides and solely serve to enhance actual debate quality. Your only possible response would be that Trump benefits from nonsense and chaos vs an actual discussion of the issues

    You're not making sense. A person who has no policy is supposed to set the terms for a debate?

    1. Yes, Trump thrives when he has an audience to feed off of as well as in a chaotic environment. He plays to the crowd and he’s a showman. Everyone knows this.

    2. None of it mattered against Joe Biden as he used those very terms that don’t favor him and ended the Biden campaign.

    No, if all you care about is debating, and not how much the environment may favor one candidate over the other, then you should have no problem with Trump setting the terms for the debate.

    Kamala Harris is free to debate policy on Trump’s terms.

    Oh, that's right. The topic isn't the debate, it's a long complaint about how unfair everything is to conservatives.
    My bad. Please proceed.

    For God’s sakes, river… they’ve indicted him, they’ve tried killing him, they swapped candidates 3 months before Election Day simply because the first guy was losing (defying the will of the primary voters I might add).

    You honestly couldn’t script a more unfair election apart from actually rigging it by messing with vote counts.

    He's a victim is what he is. He's been telling us that for years. Everyone is so mean to him. It's just not fair!
    We should give him some advantages. It's only right.

    It's a debate. She's going to point out his flaws.

    Why not? We give Kamala Harris all the others.

    For whatever reason, Trump says no to a debate and Trump’s a coward. Kamala says no to a debate and Trump’s being unreasonable.

    I guess it’s par for the course. These are the same people who blame Trump for someone trying to kill him.

    That’s her prerogative, but it starts getting a little ridiculous when she’s assisted by the moderators and Trump has his mic cut off.

    The "they" who tried to kill him was a conservative Republican lol. And I'm just laughing at y'all crying about the Democrats replacing Biden after y'all spent months saying Biden is too old, in cognitive decline, and needs to be replaced. Poor dog caught the car.

    They both know the rules and should get their mic cut if they go over time or talk out of turn. That's how you run a debate. Trump can show up, or he can stay at home. Doesn't make one lick of difference to me.

    Did Biden drop out because he’s in cognitive decline?

    Biden dropped out because he's too damn old. Congrats. Y'all got your way. Now, you get to face Kamala. Sorry your tactics were too effective.

    I see… too old to run the country in 2025, but not too old to run the country in 2024.

    He agreed to debate the Democratic nominee. He can show up, or he can stay home. Either is fine with me.

    Too old to run the country from 2025 to 2029. Can't complain because your tactics worked too well. Such is life.
