‘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.”...

Exactly correct. No moderators and no outsider’s questions, just the two candidates with time limits

She wants to bring down costs for middle class families.

Ok, let's hear the plan....specific details.

She's had 3.5 years.

Trump should agree but only with neutral moderators. Maybe Joe Rogan and Greg Greenwald can stream it on X. No republican should ever do a debate on a bias liberal network. Kamala would never agree to debate in a neutral setting.

The narrative is already fading as the polling starts to come out. They have until Monday to get their story out; a new news cycle will begin after the Sunday BS shows on the MSMs. As an aside, liberals and RINOs caused me to stop watching all news, including FOX, and I stopped watching NFL games. After a few years away, I tried to watch a game, but it was boring. My Sundays are fantastic now.

Harris needs the debates because she wants to do something other than pressers. Trump should NOT debate her and force her to talk to the press. She will try to use the debate vice a press conference. She was cackling in part of her speech yesterday and, at one point, sounded drunk again. That is probably not the case, but the whole country would see it if she did that during a presser.

Absolutely NO more debates. She is using the debate to avoid direct questions from the press. Trump would take the pressure off her by accepting any discussion. Natural moderators will not stop her from lying and calling him names.

I agree with everything you listed except about the audience. I think no audience works better for Americans to get real information from the candidates. It should not be a rally, but a serious discussion

Sorry, I have an editor app for a book, and it changed my post.

".....discussion. Natural moderators will not stop her from lying and calling him names." Should have read "...debate. Natural moderators will not stop her from lying and calling him names." Editor apps are woke, and you have to watch them😀

A person posting at the Conservative Treehouse posted this today:

Harris campaign instructs reporters not to ask questions about ‘earrings’ or ‘debate cheating’. [Developing]

SHOCK REPORT Muir And Davis Instructed NOT to mention Trump assassination attempt according to sources. ‘And they were instructed to cut Trump off as soon as he mentioned it,’ said the source

KAMALA’S ANSWERS SCRIPTED:

BUSTED New source claims Kamala was secretly aided by a mini teleprompter disguised as a TV camera. ‘Trump would have never known the difference because it was pointed at her the whole time.’ [Developing

SHOCK REVELATION According to a highly confidential source ABC set up a ‘secret’ teleprompter only Harris could see. ‘It explained why no audience was allowed.

ABC SUBTERFUGE Network positioned bright lights into Trump’s eyes to make him squint and gaze down at the podium in contrast to Kamala’s chin up wide eyed look.

ABC HELPED KAMALA CHEAT According to sources the network coordinated closely with Harris. ‘Kamala was allowed to wear an earpiece and had access to the questions days ahead of the debate.’ [Developing]

EARRINGS ‘MISSING’ Harris campaign sources say they were ‘most likely destroyed’ as part of ‘normal housekeeping’. ‘The earrings were costume jewelry which routinely gets changed.’ [Developing]

DEBATE EARRINGS DESTROYED Harris campaign sources say earrings Kamala wore during the debate were ‘costume jewelery’ and have been ‘disposed of’ due to ‘hygienic reasons’.

So, the earrings were supposedly identified as Tiffany earrings. Now, they are saying they were costume jewelry. That tells that something was definitely hinky with the earrings.

The different lighting on each candidate is a strategy that the left has used for a long time. Usually it just makes Trump look unhealthy and his hair orange. Making him squint and look down seems a very possible (and disgusting ) tactic by the left.

Why can’t Trump insist that his own people go to these places and check out everything like lighting and microphones?

It won’t even matter if it is verifiably exposed that the lighting aimed at Trump was excessively bright. The left will either deny it or say …. Sorry, mistakes were made, lessons are learned and we won’t do it again. People who watch only the mainstream media will never hear a word about it

I can be easily dissuaded of the audience. I added it because it adds an extra level of stress to the public job interview.

You’re right it will never happen; the Democrats will never accept having to answer hard questions from moderators who are not bought and paid for, the entire point is to get Democrats to refuse to debate.

Agree to one debate where the Democratic Candidate sets the terms, one debate where the Republican candidate sets the terms.

The Democrat will refuse, then bombard them with refusing to debate, with Kamala she is refusing to do interviews and another debate with true conservatives asking the questions would be ideal to get her in a meltdown.

Now what happens is Democrats proposed rigged debates and Republicans reluctantly agree and then get into a bad situation, stop playing defense go on offense with the debates.

Why do we even need mods. Show the question and a timer on a screen and let the folks have at it. When times up , its up and you get 5 secs to finish your thought. Thats it. Then youre muted. No mod is better than a biased mod.

IMHO, Trump should decline to another debate. Harris keeps getting all cocky and keeps pushing for a debate. Then Trump relents and debates her.

She must have been pretty pathetic to need earrings to transmit instructions. I guess an audience would have hurt her ability to hear through her earrings.she must have to wear them everywhere.

Early voting
varies by location

In-person
Nov 5

********

Not going to change Early Voting IN-PERSON with it
being a local decision. It would take a NATIONAL
DECISION which most likely could never be agreed on.

They bussed in a ton of people to a rally for Kamala in NC yesterday. The place looked packed. She was back to how she usually acts making no sense and cackling.

Always that smirking and cackling.

Trump should say she agreed to one debate. Refused all others. She had her chance. Tough luck camalla. You chose poorly
