"SNIP............

“Hours after the Trump and Harris campaigns agreed to rules for their first presidential debate, former President Donald Trump sought to instill doubt that the debate would be fair, downplayed his need to prepare and suggested he was more worried about the network hosting the debate than his opponent,” the New York Times reports.

2. No doubt she can nail him on the big Jan 6 lie and get him on abortion.

She's also smart enough to call him on his torrent of lies.

“Trump said he plans to allow his opponent, Kamala Harris, to speak without interruption during their presidential debate next week, a shift for the reality-television-star-turned-politician who built a career on combative exchanges.”


I wouldn't be surprised if he called it off. He's gonna get sentenced by Judge Merchan on the 18th. I don't know why he said he would be civil, but I can see the horns growing on the sides of his head. He hates everyone. If he doesn't show up, she should get a freebee.

He'd be better to call it off. His magats would back that move as "tough". Otherwise, let the insane idiot show the world what they'd be getting.

When does he FINALLY shut up and STOP looking for loopholes and STOP trying to corrupt every effort to stop him and force him to face justice?

I know, I know… probably not til his dying day.

I swear, I‘be seen and had to endure my share of attention whores, and fussy babies, and needy acquaintances, and none of them even comes close.

SICK of him.

11. If he actually shows up he'll be running on whatever cocktail of drugs he uses along with a fresh coat of paint.

I have no doubt he's scared. She doesn't put up with his crap and will be prepared to respond to him. I agree with several others above that he thinks the exposure is worth the risks and he'll be spouting lies non-stop as fast as he can spit them out. He's a practiced liar and as much as he'll be running on fear and adrenaline, it is also where he lives 24/7.

I expect him to attack her as he has on the stump and to throw as much blame as he can for all the ills he's been lying about: the border, the economy on the brink, America awash in crime, communist agendas, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. He throws out so many falsehoods, misrepresentations and distortions that it is nearly impossible to respond logically.

He will not answer any question at all. He will deflect and spit blame as he has thus far during interviews. I have little faith that the presenters will hold him accountable in person. They have failed at this every single time, in part because he never gives a straight answer.
