Former advisor on why Kamala Harris is ‘concerned’ to debate Donald Trump
Sky News Australia ^ | Aug 3, 2024

Former Trump senior advisor Christian Whiton has weighed in on why US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are at odds over their first head-to-head debate.

The Harris campaign is pushing for a debate to take place on ABC News but Trump says the ABC debate has been “terminated”.

Instead, the former US president is pushing for a Fox News debate with Ms Harris on September 4.

“I don't know why Harris is concerned,” Mr Whiton said.

“The two debate moderators who are proposed are considered very fair and frankly would throw some hard balls at Donald Trump.

“So I think Kamala Harris, they're trying to pull a Biden, they're trying to see if she can pull ahead in the polls with the help of the media and by not exposing yourself to the public except in very carefull circumstances. But if the polls aren't looking good ,I think that will push her out of desperation to accept a debate.”

‘Sat it to my face!!”, she screamed. OK, lets debate on Fox and I’ll do just that. No,No, No...can’t do that. Have to have everything all her own way. This is a head fake. Under no circumstances does she want to debate the human buzz saw. The media are going to try to hide her record until election week. Stealing this one will take more than a day.

She’ll likely be fed questions in advance and will be ‘rehearsed’ to sound like she’s got a grip on things. Otherwise, she will just appear as the low IQ simpleton, DEI hire that she is and has always been!!

Something else to consider: She probably had been promised by ABC that she would have the questions in advance.

“She probably had been promised by ABC that she would have the questions in advance.”

Don’t think for one minute that Paul Ryan won’t be sure that she’s properly prepped if at Fox.

I honestly doubt it matters anymore whether the MSM gives the Democrat the questions in advance.

The NSA and other deep-state minions probably have ways of providing the intel directly to the Administration without the discoverable help of the networks.

“…will be ‘rehearsed’ to sound like she’s got a grip…”

The thing about Kamala is that she absolutely cannot act. No matter what she tries you can see the wheels turning, as they say In Hollywood. She tried imitating Obozo, sounding black, and projecting gravitas; with the latter being the most cringy.

My bet is Harris won’t do the debate with Trump her fear is showing she has already opened her excuse list and adding to it.

She now understands why Biden stayed in the basement so lone the rigging didn’t show up until after the votes were counted.

She has no knowledge of the issues; she does an oral side-step tap dance, hoping we aren’t sharp enough to get that she’s not really answering the question.

Good luck in a debate with Trump, Kamala. He’s gonna slice, dice, and fricasee you…

I remember they were the ones who announced on Fox four years ago that Biden had won- I can’t remember the state- with 1% of the vote.

Her advisors won’t let her debate. They’re going to do the 2024 equivalent of Biden staying in his basement the entire campaign. She’ll make the rounds of the talk shows where they’ll fawn over her and give puff piece interviews with the leftist media mouthpieces. She’ll hold carefully scripted rallies where she never has to speak extemporaneously. The gaslighting by the MSM will be cranked up to 11 (it already is). On Election Day a few critical precincts will have ruptured water pipes which will require them to stop counting for a few days. When it resumes they’ll magically find just enough votes to tip the entire state to Harris. Watch.

Biden’s debate with Trump ended any chance he had for reelection as Trump just allowed him to speak and make his dementia fully manifest. Harris could similarly have her White House bid squashed if during a debate she reverts to her usual word salad speech and cackling laugh. As with Biden, all Trump has to do is shrug his shoulders and say the obvious …he has no idea what she just said.

Right. When you are not authentic and if you have NO spontaneity that’s how you come across
