Trump will cave and debate Kamala.

[Cyrano]

He's been called a chicken and people believe he's terrified of her, This has to be getting to him. And as much as his advisors will try to keep him away from debating her, the pressure will get to him. After all, he''s not going to let his MAGAs think he's afraid of any "N"word."

He's spent the last couple of weeks stepping on his own dick. And if he gets on a debate stage with Kamala, she'll cut it off.

If he tries to physically stalk her on stage the way he did with Hillary, she'll get in his face and tell him to back off. If he constantly talks over her, she'll let him go on making a total ass of himself until they cut his mike. If he throws slurs at her, he'll be condemning his campaign in front of the entire world. Trump's bag of tricks is shallow. It contains nothing but hate, fear and lies. There's nothing else there.

Trump's team will try to chain him to a radiator before letting him on stage with her. But it will all be for naught. He's an ignorant, self-absorbed buffoon who''s going to do whatever he wants to do.

Can't wait for this debate to happen. Given who and what he is, she may provoke him into assaulting her on stage. Good thing that they both have Secret Service agents two seconds away.

1. I *wish* he'd show up for the debate

for the reasons you mention, but I’m doubtful he’d show. Chickenshit, yunno. I expect some BS excuse that would preclude any date/venue suggested.

[allegorical oracle]

10. Oh, he'll show. Afterall, Faux is friendly territory. Con artist that he is, he's probably made

his participation hinge on being given the questions ahead of time -- just him, not Kamala. The only way TSF plays any game is if he can rig it. That's why he accuses everyone else of rigging.

[EYESORE 9001]

11. Kamala could defeat him in any intellectual endeavor imaginable

with one frontal lobe tied behind her back. I’m not worried about any contrived ambush. I still don’t think Cheato Benito will show.

2. tRump is too big of a coward to show up.

He's all huff and no puff!

[Cyrano]

5. Being called a coward, a chicken,

a terrified dummy, etc., is exactly why he'll show up. It's got to be driving him nuts..

[GoreWon2000]

18. tRump is too cowardly to show up because he knows that the V.P. will wipe up the floor with him.

[Bok_Tukalo]

3. I agree

And he is crushing the expectations game.

All he had to do is not drop the N-bomb and he wins.

[AnnaLee]

4. I think maybe I got spoofed.

I heard he wanted a debate on FOX with a big audience present. I came to DU to say I didn't think Kamala should agree to any change in the original debate rules.

[Cyrano]

6. Of course he'd want to debate on Fox.

He knows they'd throw him softballs, and he also knows she'd never agree to it.

9. Anywhere. Anytime. Anyplace...... Unless you chicken out, DonOld.

[AnnaLee]

12. Did anyone in the Kamala campaign say that?

Anywhere, anytime, anyplace would be a rather insane thing to put forward knowing what would become a non-debate.

[keithbvadu2]

15. DonOld said that.

[fierywoman]

13. ... I'm hoping she addresses him as "DonOld"

[keithbvadu2]

16. He and his campaign don't seem so hung up on age anymore.

[fierywoman]

17. Bwahhahaha oh, this is good !

[RockRaven]

7. He has one way out: if ABC caves and declines to broadcast Harris alone.

[onenote]

8. i doubt it.

[SWBTATTReg]

14. I say to not waste her valuable time w/ tRUMP since he's a constant liar, a buffoon, a joke, and worse.

Anything that tRUMP says you're just giving him Oxygen ... let him die from lack of Oxygen, don't give him any leeway, any fodder, any air to continue his bigotry and foul mouth. Hasn't he proved more than enough that he doesn't know anything, he's incompetent, he's a jackass, and he's a moron.
