‘We owe it to voters’: Harris calls for another debate at North Carolina rallies
The Guardian ^

Posted on 09/13/2024 3:09:10 AM PDT by jerod

Kamala Harris held rallies Thursday in North Carolina, first in Charlotte and then in Greensboro, calling for another round of debate with Donald Trump, two days after her strong showing in Philadelphia against the former president.

“I believe we owe it to the voters to have another debate,” she said to applause, “because this election and what is at stake could not be more important. On Tuesday night, I talked about issues that I know matter to families across America, like bringing down the cost of living … but that’s not what we heard from Donald Trump.”

Holding rallies in two of North Carolina’s largest cities highlights the importance of the state as a national battleground that the campaign now sees as winnable.

In Charlotte, Harris laughed and mocked Trump’s answer during the debate when he was asked about his plan to replace Obamacare. “He has no plan to replace it. He said ‘concepts of a plan’ – no actual plan. Concepts. And understand what’s at stake with that: 45 million Americans are insured under the Affordable Care Act, and he’s going to end it based on a concept.”...

So, have the debate at FOX. Make sure there is wireless jamming tech in use and make sure the moderators are balanced. No leaking of the questions in advance. Watch her world come tumbling down.

Men and women are blinded by Satan's lies, thinking if there's no baby, then there is no sin to be convicted of. Ie: if there's no body, there is no case for conviction.

In life nothing is free, you must pay for everything one way or another. Except the grace of God and you can't buy it and you don't deserve it.

Harris is an empty suit...eminently controllable as a puppet. Her debate revealed what a good puppet she is.

The American People are laughing at her, except for a few nut jobs who see big money in pushing on her ass.

Besides, she talks through her nose like a supercilious honky.

YOU ARE ABSLOUTELY RIGHT, she has no loyalty to America, nor to the Constitution.She promoted the demographic invasion of America across the Southern border.....waging demographic warfare on the American People.Look at Springfield , Ohio.

I think she is a traitor to America, and perhaps she needs a bullet notch in her ear to straighten her out.I bet she would wilt like a freeze dried flower.

I’d be in favor of a real debate, not a campaign commercial like we were served this week. Two candidates, one stage, really debating one another without the interference of a moderator - just a time keeper. Lincoln - Douglas type debate in which one candidate gets an opening statement to state their case as to why they should be President. Say 3 - 4 minutes. Other candidate gets their opening statement - same amount of time. Then by flip of coin one candidate gets 30 seconds to pose a question to the other followed by that candidates 2 minute response and the questioners 1 minute rebuttal and comment on what was just heard. Alternate these questioning and response and rebuttal periods for whatever time is allotted, say 2 - 3 hours. Then whoever did not go first in opening statement has choice to close first or last in a 2 minute closing statement and final plea to the electorate.
We don’t need no stinking moderators. Let us judge the candidates on their own. The current “system” has become a biased, campaign contribution by one network on behalf of one candidate - there is no purpose for that !!
It worked for Lincoln, it can work now !

Losers want more debates. she blew her one chance with earphones, advanced reception of the questions and two moderators dedicated to making HER look good. Nope, you got your one and done, lady.

Exactly. Trump at first said he would debate a few times. Her deal was that she gets to set the time, place, and moderators.

He isn’t going to do that so the debates are over.

“The second debate should be the Republicans get to the time, place, format and moderators”

Never happen. The rats want to be in full control. To allow Republicans to set up a debate, well, just plain never happen. Your suggestion is an alternate reality.

Trump did what’s best for Trump. He knew the ABC debate was rigged, it’s been clearly shown it was rigged and the next one will be rigged. How the debates are staged is beyond his control. It’s just common sense to walk away from anything crooked that hurts you.

She’s an illegitimate candidate. No one voted for her.

She turned down two debates. I’d agree on another one moderated by Newsmax.

The debate had better be at FOX. They’re far from perfect, but at least one doesn’t have to disinfect themselves after being in their studios as one would be needed at any of the other media outhouses.

Another debate might be acceptable only if Trump got a fair shake.

Or better yet, have them sit down without any moderators and just ask each other questions. (A conversation).

Since she’s begging, Trump gets to determine the debate rules.

The debate will be livestreamed on the platform of the candidate’s choosing. It will not be broadcast on any network.

Each candidate will submit five topics and specific questions. Each will have up to five minutes to answer. Rebuttals will be discussion based between candidates.

There will be a timekeeper but no moderator. The debate will last as long as both candidates agree to keep discussing the pre-formatted questions.

There will be no commercials.

There will be an audience. Each candidate will receive 50% of tickets.

Trump owes nothing. He’s already debated on CNN and ABC.

Anyone who believes that the abc sh*t show was a “debate” really needs to think about getting off the drugs for a while.

Frau Harris got her moderators - a gay man and a “woman of color” who just happened to be a sorority sister, the questions in advance and real time fact checking on one candidate only. Harris never answered directly a single question and was allowed to skate each time. Another debate with another gay man (Brett Baier) and an abortion supporter like Martha McCallum on Fox is only slightly less biased and Harris wouldn’t even agree to that. Game over.
