Harris campaign calls Trump ‘too scared’ to debate, says he ‘needs to man up’
The Hill ^ | 08/02/2024 | Alex Gangitano

Vice President Harris’s campaign painted former President Trump as too scared to debate her after his latest remarks questioning why he should participate in a debate.

Trump told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo this week that he wants to debate his likely Democratic opponent, but added, “I mean right now I say, why should I do a debate? I’m leading in the polls. And, everybody knows her, everybody knows me.”

Harris for President co-Chair Cedric Richmond responded to the comments, saying Trump “needs to man up.”

“He’s got no problem spreading lies and hateful garbage at his rallies or in interviews with right-wing commentators. But he’s apparently too scared to do it standing across the stage from the Vice President of the United States,” Richmond said. “Since he talks the talk, he should walk the walk and – as Vice President Harris said earlier this week – say it to her face on September 10. She’ll be there waiting to see if he’ll show up.”

Wait, isn’t Trump jumping at the chance to debate Harris?

If not, why not?

Trump’s wise to wait until after the time has passed for the DNC to stage another switcheroo.

Perhaps, but what are you spreading?

There is video of Trump accepting her challenge. But the public will only see her calling him too scared. Americans don’t deserve America.

They are trying to get Trump to agree to their ridiculous demands for the debate.

The HO would lose a debate with a ham sandwhich. In any case, who gives a **** about yellow schoolbusses? She is the ultimate match for the term “ignorant slut’.

I think the debate will be agreed upon right about the time of the Democratic National Convention, IF she is still the nominee!

And as a negotiator- ka-ma-la’s “team” doesn’t seem to understand that she is not the candidate until nominated, nor does her performance to date give her any imprimatur whatsoever to act like she has any clout at all.

He should say OK as long the Fox holds the Debate and Trump names the monitor. Make it an official challenge.

I’m thinking Trump is setting her up or... waiting for their convention to be over.

First things first ..
Trump needs to stand up, ..and then make sure he's zipped up
And then tell Camela to stand up and get off her knees.
It's not that kind of conversation.

She needs the debate— Trump does not. So- he will be waiting to see who might be there on sept 10 to even commit.

The dems are a mass of spaghetti noodles overcooked and squriming in their goo. Children, really.

Trump will debate Harris and now she won’t be able to weasel out. Harris is petrified of anything that is not scripted or choreographed. She will either be drunk or high as a kite at any debate and even any press conference. At a debate the American people will get a good look at her cognitive impairments.

“Trump’s wise to wait until after the time has passed for the DNC to stage another switcheroo.”
___________________________________________________________

Harris has all the delegates and there’s nobody even attempting to get the nomination outside of the “candidates” that draw .5-1.0% of the vote.

T should agree to debate Harris sooner rather than later. Every day he waits gives her another day of opportunity to redefine him, and claim the high ground for herself.
