Credit where credit is due CNN

Current headline on their website is Trump Drops out of ABC Debate Pushes for Fox Instead

At least it's a factual description of the situation. MSNBC had Trump Accepts FOX Debate. That's a paraphrase, but very close. Notice what's missing?

CNN definitely more descriptive, factual, and journalistically sound.

1. I don't think Kamala should ever accept a debate w/ these faux traitors. If you listen to their gang of five misfits

on their faux propaganda network, they constant belittle Kamala, make fun of her and worse, and treat her like trash. It's awful. Don't give them any business, they don't deserve it.

Accepting would be to give him the power he craves.

Screw him and the fox he came in on.

Let him squirm.

8. Yes, exactly, he is in no position to demand anything. He's either scared to debate her or he's not.
