Trump, Harris campaigns clash over debate rules: 'We said no changes'
fox news ^ | August 26, 2024 | Jeffrey Clark

The Donald Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns traded barbs Monday over debate rules Monday, with the former accusing the latter of playing "games" as Harris' team seeks to make microphones live throughout the event.

After Trump suggested in a Truth Social post that he might skip the ABC debate on Sept. 10 in Philadelphia, spokesman Jason Miller said the Harris campaign was trying to change the set-up of the debate that had already been laid out.

"Enough with the games," Trump spokesperson Jason Miller told Fox News Digital in a statement. "We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate."

Kamala is the one who is looking for an excuse to chicken out. Teleprompter is her Cyrano de Bergerac. She doesn't have the talent to speak for herself.

Why not compromise? Just stipulate Harris can use her dumbass “Mr Trump, I’m speaking right now” line one time, whether apropos or not. She’s dying to use it and this would solve the problem

Not sure a debate serves any purpose. Anyone paying attention knows that Trump would easily defeat Harris in a debate. However, as long as Harris didn’t fall down and drool on herself, the media will declare her the clear winner, having destroyed Trump.

The headline is unclear. It’s Fox so it’s expected to be anti Trump

Trump and Harris clash. “We said no changes”. Anyone wanting yo assume Trump is the one playing games can do so with this bitchy Fox headline. However it is Harris

But thanks Fox hate mongers

It is time for Kamala to solve the problem, not Trump. She can abide by the rules stipulated or she can forget it.

Neither side will gain or lose a vote over a TV debate. Either people want more of the same nightmare they have been living or they will vote Trump.

And this is the next step to pulling out of the debates. Everyone knows the communist will get pulverized and shown to be the true commie she is in the debate. There is no doubt in my mind they will come up with a reason to not do the debate.

There is no reason to trust even fox for a debate.

Recall they tried, via meghan kelly, to paint Trump as a perverted woman abuser, to cause his campaingn to come to a full stop. With the foreknowledge and blessing of faux news management.

They fired Tucker Carlson.

Scroo all of them. We should go with OANN (One America News Network), moderated by Tucker and “fact checked” by Alex Jones or David Knight or someone similar.

Stop playing their game. Make them play our game!

"Anyone paying attention"

There's your problem. Enough of the potential voters either don't pay attention or get their political information from Whoopie and the gals at "The View".

Even with the media bias, a televised debate is the best way for see Kamala without her teleprompter crutch.

It serves a huge purpose. People need to see that Harris can't put together a cogent thought on her own.

The reason she only agreed to the one debate is because they'll feed her team all the questions beforehand. Trump will need to interject a new path of questions during the course of the debate to lure her in to exposing her complete and utter idiocy.

How about:
Don’t give caramel the fake news cheerleader so called moderator help.
Let’s just put her in unedited two way communication with President Trump until one quits and we will decide the outcome not some talking heads.

Kamala is trying to weasel out of the debates since she is even less coherent than Biden

It should be just the two of them with chess clocks. Once you click your mic goes off and the other goes on.

Kamala wants to use notes
She wants to be seated
She wants the mics unmuted

Trump is involved in a lawsuit against abc

Kamala wants to use debate ONLY as a presser. No interviews

He should stick to same rules as previous Biden debate.

If she doesn't agree, do Townhalls and continue sit downs with social media, preferably friendly minority Trump supporters.

Yes, she wants voters to hear nothing but herself reading what somebody else wrote.

Why can’t we just have a debate where each candidate asks the other one questions? At least we wouldn’t have to worry about the media giving her the questions beforehand.

The Biden debate served the purpose of showing Biden wasn't fit to run.

The Harris debate will serve the purpose of showing Harris isn't fit to run either.

Guy Benson said on Fox News that Harris wants to back out of the muted microphones rule because she wants the viral video of cutting off President Trump.

She also wants to do an opening statement.
