BREAKING ---- Kamala Harris Caves: ABC News Debate Rules Set with No Notes, No Open Mics
Breitbart ^ | September 3, 2024 | Wendell Husebo

Posted on 09/03/2024 11:04:31 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Vice President Kamala Harris’s attempt last week to suddenly change the ABC News debate rules miserably failed.

The Harris campaign caved on Tuesday and decided to go along with its previously agreed debate rules with no notes, no sitting, no audience, and no open mics, a senior Trump campaign aide told Breitbart News.

ABC News will virtually hold a coin toss to determine the order of closing arguments and podium positioning at 12:30 pm, the aide added.

The debate dispute goes back to when President Joe Biden was still in the race. Both candidates agreed on two debates (CNN on June 27 and ABC on September 10), with Biden insisting that microphones “be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak,” CNN reported on June 15.

Harris then joined the race. Two weeks ago, both the Trump and Harris campaigns had ABC News’s debate rules in writing and both sides confirmed to the network the debate was a “go,” the Trump ally told Breitbart News.

To apparently avoid too much media attention on the anniversary of the deadly Afghan withdrawal in the coming week, the Harris campaign suddenly requested that ABC News and other networks unmute candidates’ microphones, an idea Trump continued to oppose.

It's a done deal unless Merchan throws Trump in jail and Kamala and A-Walz have been given a heads up.

I hope they throw Trump into jail.

It will create the revolution that this country desperately needs.

Merchan can sentence him to probation and prohibit him from saying anything negative about Harris in the debate or off to prison.

Merchan is a tool and will do what the Ruling Class thinks will best advance their agenda. I predict it will be monstrous.

So sad. Can we just give her a free opportunity to say “Donald , I’m speaking”? that’s all she wanted the open mic for

If monstrous, that will be his last judicial act in the U.S. He will have to repatriate to Colombia to attempt to escape the backlash that would be coming straight at him like a freight train.

What does the Afghan disaster have to do with Komrade wanting unmuted mics?

Trump will decimate her... The media will obviously declare her the winner, but like the Debate between Trump and Biden... When 50+ million people watch it... Hoodwinking becomes a much harder chore. The media can’t control stupid and Kamala is going to look pretty stupid.

Merkin is a pussy hat. He’s does not have the balls to do it. CommieLa is toast, just like Lunch Bucket Joe. Too big to rig. The Trumpinator, I will be back.

Oh Sam. You expect too much of the sheeple. They are comfortable and don’t want to be bothered by things like Liberty.

If Kamala can't stand up to Trump, how is she going to stand up to Shumer or Putin or the Red Chinese?

She can't.

That would be great. Or better yet, no moderators at all. Hell, Lincoln and Douglas didn’t need no stinking moderators and those are some of the most famous and significant political debates in history. Let them each speak for a set time then let them fire questions at each other for awhile — that would be much more informative and interesting.

Juan is a crusader for the cause with delusions of grandeur. He will do it as his contribution to the cause, whatever that may be. He will do it to secure his place in history glorifying himself. He is also nuttier than squirrel turds. You can see it in his eyes alone. Don’t doubt me on this.

I remember when Kamala insisted that Trump had to honor the terms of the debate agreement he had made with Joe by agreeing to debate her under the same rules that were agreed upon with Biden. Then I remember when she tried to change those rules and pretended that it was Trump who was somehow wrong for sticking to the terms he and Biden had negotiated. Now she’s back to agreeing with the terms. We’ll see how long that lasts.

She doesn’t care what she agrees to, she has no intention of debating. The sentencing is scheduled for after the debate,vso she has to come up with another reason, like Covid.
