Kamala Harris Is Trying to Back Out of the Debates
PJ Media ^ | August 26, 2024 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 08/26/2024 11:25:33 AM PDT by george76

Trump, knowing that the debates would likely be a huge boon for his campaign, eventually agreed to do the same debate with Kamala as he’d agreed to with Biden. But now, the Harris campaign wants to change the rules.

...

Jason Miller blasted the Harris campaign for trying to back out of the debate with Trump.

"The Harris camp, after having already agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements. We said no changes to the agreed upon rules... If Kamala Harris isn’t smart enough to repeat the messaging points her handlers want her to memorize, that’s their problem. This seems to be a pattern for the Harris campaign. They won’t allow Harris to do interviews, they won’t allow her to do press conferences, and now they want to give her a cheat-sheet for the debate. My guess is that they’re looking for a way to get out of any debate with President Trump. Regardless, there’s no way Harris is ready to be Commander in Chief."

...

The Harris campaign is panicking about the upcoming debates and wants Kamala to have a script, among other things. This is an attempt by the campaign to get out of the debates and blame Trump for it.

We've seen these games before, and it never works out well for the Democrats. Biden dodged debates for months, and then "challenged" Trump to two debates, pretending that Trump was too scared to face. Trump then promptly agreed to all the terms, and wiped the floor with Biden in the debate, forcing him to drop out of the race.

The fix was in against Biden in those debates.

It will be the opposite for Harris.

They will defend and protect her and attack Trump on nonsense.

Like usual in these so-called debates.

She sees the post-DNC debates and sees her down solid single digits in PA, NV, GA, NC, and AZ. No path there Kamala. We have not even factored in the RFK effect. Trump hinted that, more importantly, sane Democrats would come.

Thanks, George76, for posting extracted pieces from the original article, rather than just posting the first couple of paragraphs.

So many articles begin with uninformative material that we have to plough through to get to the author’s point.

We’re reaching territory where Kacklin’ Kammie needs Trump more than he needs her, and the Dems are still trying to change the rules. I think it’s a little too late for the media to convince anyone that it’s Trump who is dodging the debate, but you can bet they’ll try.

She's going to get KO'd and the Democrats know it.

Don’t debate Kamala.

Mods didn’t interrupt Trump in the first debate, and got slammed by Dems. This time Trump will end up debating the mods, who will interrupt and ‘fact check’ him to death. Kamala will just stand there and smile.

I was very surprised they didn’t yank Kamala from the ticket and swap in Hillary or Big Mike Moochelle during the convention.

The ho would lose a debate with a slime mold. She knows it, everyone knows it. The slime mold also knows it, and it smiles.

And we’re quickly closing in on the 2 month mark to the election...Thankfully, it’s not looking good for the Democrats.

Can see exactly that happening, a self-satisfied smirk on her face. Her whole campaign is built on TDS, and nothing else. She has everything to lose, and nothing to gain, by debating Trump, and she, along with everyone else, knows this to be true. I expect her to claim the high ground, and leave the field. I would be shocked if she stood by the original terms of her agreement to debate on CNN. Typical dem move, and typical also of a pathetic, skanky loser (or ‘brat’ as they are now apparently known...).

If Trump DOES make it over the finish line, they will mercilessly pester him with ridiculous charges, impeachments, and conspiracy theories.... even worse than last time.

I suspect the best we can hope for is a four-year pause of the Globalist Deep State plans.

Which, I guess I’d be grateful for.

The only debate Kamala Harris can handle is with her Barby doll.

“Mods didn’t interrupt Trump in the first debate, and got slammed by Dems. This time Trump will end up debating the mods, who will interrupt and ‘fact check’ him to death. Kamala will just stand there and smile.”

That is probably exactly how it will go, if it even occurs. Harris will stand there with that idiot smirky grin while Trump gets skewered by the damned moderators. The left can’t win anything legitimately without cheating and help.

My theory is that the Dems wanted the debate in June, the earliest in presidential campaign history, because they knew Biden was failing fast. They hoped he still had enough left to get through that first early debate. Even a mediocre performance would have been hailed as a "strong performance", with Biden "the clear winner." They would have then said that no further debates were necessary, and kept Joe in the basement until election day. Instead, it blew up in their faces.

If it happens late enough it won’t matter. All the early votes will not be influenced by the debacle. They are simply trying to run out the clock
