    You caught up in speculation rather than sticking to the facts. The article I provided shows that the debate terms were negotiated by both campaigns, not unilaterally set by one side.

    Both campaigns have a say in the debate terms to ensure fairness. Labeling people as 'clowns' doesn't contribute to a productive dialogue but you do you.

    I could say something moronic like "trump set the terms because no fact checking put Biden at a disadvantage". But that would be speculation and, you know, moronic.

    LOL Rick. Is this another conspiracy case (Kamala inventing illegal trafficking) that you are the only one that has knowledge of?

    The border Czar should close the border to illegals. She has one job to do in this current administration, and she has failed miserably.

    What terms favored either one?
    If terms were so bad, why did the master negotiator agree to them? Is he worried that KH will abuse him under the same terms?

    You made the Christian remark. And you are dodging it. Jesus couldnt give two craps about our borders or America as a construct.

    He cared about individual people. You, me, those kids. All the same. No different and he was clear how we should treat them. Its on us to figure out how to do that, but we wont because we make the kids political pawns.

    He hates every media outlet that doesn't praise him.

    Aha! You see, we agree here. Our border should be properly controlled in a legal, just, ethical way. (THAT *MIGHT* be a scriptural approach.) Thats miles away from shipping ever kid back like you insisted.

    Good one, good one, it's understandable to think the top resides in Moscow after Trump.

    CNN, No audience, muted mics all favored Joe Biden.

    Looks like Donald agreed to them because he knew it didn’t matter what the rules were, Biden was so weak it wouldn’t matter… and he was right.

    I wouldn’t say he’s “worried” Kamala will “abuse” him under the same terms. But there’s only so many advantages the Trump campaign can allow her to have in addition to those she already has without frankly being stupid.

    it’s already not fair we have the media double standard, it’s not fair that Joe Biden dropped out at the 11th hour, it’s not fair he has to run a campaign while facing multiple criminal indictments from a corrupt DOJ and politically motivated DAs, and it’s not fair Kamala is being treated as riding his coattails when convenient for her while simultaneously standing on her own independent record when it isn’t.

    There’s only so much time between now and the election. Trump is right to play hardball.

    He should keep playing hardball. And after Kamala shows up to the debate and he doesn't, it'll be unfair that she got an hour of primetime to make her case.

    Do we really want the two debaters talking over each other or the audience cheering and booing? Do either of those help anything?

    She’s the Vice President of the United States and the appointed leftist savior from Trump.

    She doesn’t need help finding cameras and media ass kissing.

    What Trump wants to avoid is a situation where they share a stage, and the entire focus of the time they’re there being on Trump’s flaws which we’ve already heard a million times and despite the fact that half the country simply doesn’t know Kamala Harris and she entered the race two seconds ago.

    MAGA doesn't want a debate. They want to see Trump yell and insult. Substance is irrelevant

    Lefties don’t want a debate, they want a Trump hate session where Trump has muted mic.

    I disagree as the left tends to care more about policy than the right, but maybe we'll see a healthcare policy sometime this decade

    Okay, then let Trump set the terms for the debate if it doesn’t matter.
