BREAKING — Trump announces he does NOT want to do any more debates with Kamala Harris, even if they’re on Fox News.

Yup. Kamala wrecked him. It wasn’t even close.

And now he’s scared of her.

[a kennedy]

1. It's on to victory for the Blue wave.

Now get out there and finish this.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Works for me

His cult is immovable no matter how badly she stomps him. I’d rather VP Harris do town halls than another debate.

[usaf-vet]

51. Trump's best plan at this point is to hop on a plane and fly to a country he can't be extradited from. But who really...

...wants him? His only value is the power he would have as president. Otherwise, he outlived his usefulness to Putin and the like.

His future is prison or ruling an island with less than 100 people. There is no internet, no golf courses, and no one cares if he lives or dies.

[LaMouffette]

64. I've said it before: I bet he flees to Cuba, which is at least close to his beloved Merde-a-Lardo. Cuba would be close

enough that his Putin-compromised US Congressmen and women can fly down and kiss his ring from time to time.

I believe Trump would relish playing the role of victimized leader living in exile.

[LauraInLA]

92. You think Cuba would take him?

[LaMouffette]

94. Well, he is a Russian asset, after all, and I guess Cuba has been "wooing" Russian and Chinese tourists as of late.

https://www.reuters.com/world/cuba-woos-russians-chinese-revive-ailing-tourist-sector-2024-06-10/

HAVANA, June 10 (Reuters) - Russian tourist Serguei Boyaryshnic wandered in awe among the pastel-colored buildings and cobblestone streets of Old Havana on a weekday morning, his family in tow.
"We had heard a lot about Cuba. Our countries have been friends for years," said the 36-year-old Moscow resident, who had joined a small tour group. "We love everything about it."
Cuba has recently begun offering perks to entice visitors like Boyaryshnic from allied countries such as Russia and China as it struggles to revive a stagnant tourism sector still struggling to recover from the pandemic.

Plus, I think Trump's move to Cuba would meet with Putin's approval, too. Trump could continue to post anti-American propaganda from Cuba, thereby helping Putin advance his agenda of destroying American democracy.

Heck, maybe Putin would even help him build a Trump Cuba Hotel and golf course!

[mucholderthandirt]

100. Yes, Cuba would have him. He'd be bringing lots of money and influence with Putin.

I suspect he's already got it set up to flee within 24 hours of losing, and trust me, he knows he's losing. At this point, the election is only a money maker, he doesn't actually care about winning. Too much work, being president, even if you can be a dictator. Which he actually knows won't happen.

The alternative is fighting the upcoming trials, because he knows Jack Smith isn't letting this go. The judges, fearing their own jobs, will not back him up. So, prison or exile? He can make bank on exile, prison, not so much. He's delayed it as long as he could. Payback is coming. What he did to America is going to be repaid, in full.

Unless he runs. Oh, there'll be some kind of dog and pony show, why his life is in such great danger from that vindictive Kamala. He just had to flee! Please help him survive in such horrible conditions. The future of America depends on their help!

[Tweedy]

97. Mr. Trump recently said he would flee to Venezuela

Which country, he lied, was much safer than here.

I do so hope Mr. Trump leaves soon.

Would it not be lovely if Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk left for some unknown planet? They could rule there in peace, free from burdensome subjects who can experience joy and contradict them with facts. That would surely be a win/win for all of us. Oh, if they would take Mr. Putin, too, what a happy crew they would be jaunting around in space.

[Attilatheblond]

65. One might assume there are agencies carefully monitoring his movements

Maybe ready to bust him, red handed, trying to take some documents out of the country to exchange for an income stream in another nation.

He really has little but debt and value losing properties at this point. Gonna be hard to buy a safe house somewhere beyond the reach of the law. Then there would be the cost of mercenaries to protect him from the reach of covert ops that might be sent after him.

[NonPC]

95. Trump Tower In Buenos Aires?

Does Argentina extradite to the US now?

[peppertree]

126. Yes, since '97 - BUT they have a lawless Trumpian Chucky doll for president right now

The certifiably insane Javier Milei (whose sister actually has the run of the country - by way of black magic, Tarot cards and séances with dead dogs), has repeatedly said that he endorses Trump and his big lie.

Trump, moreover, has already been to Argentina numerous times - mainly as a guest of his dimwit pal Mauricio Macri, whose 2019 re-election bid Trump tried to save by forcing the IMF to lend Argentina a record $45 billion (the biggest Trump scandal no one's heard of).

So it would stand to reason that Buenos Aires might actually be his first choice for exile - after Ms. Harris whips him this November.

If only Milei cared even a tenth as much about his own people, as he does about his orange idol:

[Iggo]

125. He's out on bail. You're damn right someone's monitoring him.

[Dem4life1234]

89. I thought the bastard would have done that after 2020

[paleotn]

70. Exactly. She's proven her point. No need to rehash his crap.

[allegorical oracle]

118. She evidently blew his last gasket. nt

[calimary]

75. Works for me, too!

[ShazzieB]

136. Yes, town halls would be great!

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

3. Time for someone in a chicken suit with a blonde wig

Start calling Trump chicken-he’s close to imploding now and it won’t take much to cause the final meltdown-it will make for great TV so maybe the mainstream media might think about reporting fairly about his demented behavior.

[spanone]

4. He's a sniveling coward.

[lastlib]

106. Is it cannibalism if a "Philly-fried chicken" eats Kentucky Fried Chicken??

[Seinan Sensei]

132. Well-played mon ami !!

Maybe “Philly-Billy Elegy” as title for TSF’s memoirs?

[lastlib]

135. Merci, oui!

[kwolf68]

5. The spin will be....

He did so wonderfully he doesn't need to debate.

In honesty, he can't risk if. If Harris did debate this lunatic on Fox and cleaned his clock and handled the Faux News attacks on her with style, aplomb, clarity and competence, it would be game over for Trump. He can't afford that to happen. So he's back off to his right wing bubble, his clown parade rallies and daily call ins with Faux News to try to resuscitate his meandering campaign of insanity.

[yardwork]

12. Hi clown parade rallies won't be as much fun. She wrecked that, too.

[NCDem47]

17. Nailed it.

It's going to be a sad, low-energy finish for Trump leading up to the election (Good for us!).

But never fear.

His flying monkees are planning quite a show between election and inauguration. I think that's when Trump will become most animated.

[BootinUp]

6. UH OH!

8. After the debate, Trump needs a mortician.

Gutted and filleted him like a perch--cleaned off the scales and deep-fried him. But will anybody eat a deep-fried turd?

29. just call don jr. he's in charge of that.

[BattleRow]

36. Or,bigly..

:sarcasm

[Johonny]

15. Where are the calls for him to drop out

[Dennis Donovan]

20. MAGA is still too wedded to him - and the real PTB in the movement are still afraid of him

Besides, they don't have a good substitute. JD's unpopularity rivals (and in some polls, overtakes) Sarah Palin's. And the real MAGA PTB (authors of Project 2024) don't think Haley will play ball enough (not to mention she's a lesser-known quantity to the electorate than they claimed VP Harris was...before last night). Haley's stint as UN Ambassador just isn't enough to overcome it.

The have no real back bench for fall back on. They're stuck with the megalomaniac they brought to the dance.

[Dan]

53. Plus Haley by now backing Trump

Has shown that she has no character or strength of her convictions.

[calimary]

81. Good point!

[slightlv]

60. The Democrats have such a rich selection of people

to run for president, and any of them would be great. Contrast that to the Repugs! They have no one that has any charisma, good policy "concepts," or can even talk normal to a regular human being. On top of that, the majority of them are so crime ridden as to be easily beatable on that notion alone!

I look forward to seeing some changes in the coming years where Congress makes some refinements on conditions of who can be president. I know it'll have to run concert to the Constitution, but something as obvious as one can't be president if you're a felon, in prison, or on trial for a felony only makes logical sense.

Frankly, I'd like to see mental fitness tests for every candidate. Let's weed out the sociopaths before they can get a following behind them, but I doubt anything like that would be possible.

[Bengus81]

62. Oh hell NO....we need that POS in for the duration along with Guy liner......n/t

[Blue Owl]

16. She knows his type -- and there's nothing Diarrhea Donny can do about it

18. Donald John has the Mean Woman Blues--and not

[dlk]

19. Imagine how it burns to know a woman and a woman of color at that, wiped the floor with him

And the entire world watched it happen in real time. He will never recover from the humiliation and in the coming weeks, we will likely see his decline become even more pronounced.

[BComplex]

72. That's exactly the picture I've had in my head! A brilliant, talented, beautiful woman of color

just took his sorry ass to the wood shed and whooped him badly in front of the entire world! He will never recover.

[dlk]

86. No one is more deserving

He’s had this coming for far too long.

[EmmaLee E]

107. I hope so, but

Some equate a booming voice with power.

He will never admit (to himself or others) that she cleaned his clock.
He thinks it should have been a hollering match - and volume would bust reason.

[bdamomma]

21. Whiny baby

23. where's the announcement

[Dennis Donovan]

25. Will There Be Another Debate? Trump Isn't Sure

Will There Be Another Debate? Trump Isn’t Sure.

The former president suggested immediately after the debate and in a call-in to Fox News on Wednesday morning that he was not inclined to agree to another.

By Maggie Astor
Sept. 11, 2024, 9:02 a.m. ET

Immediately after Tuesday’s debate — in which Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly baited former President Donald J. Trump on abortion, the size of his rally crowds, his reputation with foreign leaders and more — Ms. Harris’s campaign said she was on board for another.

“Vice President Harris is ready for a second debate,” her campaign said on social media. “Is Donald Trump?”

Speaking to reporters in the post-debate spin room Tuesday night, and to Fox News on Wednesday morning, Mr. Trump suggested that he was not inclined to agree.

“I don’t know that I want to do another debate,” he said on Fox. He claimed that Ms. Harris only wanted one because, in his accounting, she had lost Tuesday’s — though her campaign had agreed to do two debates before she took the stage.

“When two fighters fight and one loses, the first thing they do is ask for a debate. Or they ask for a fight. So in this case a debate,” Mr. Trump said. “When a fighter loses, he says: ‘I want a rematch. I want a rematch.’ Always the losing person, the fighter, the debater, they always ask for a rematch.”

/snip

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. thx

[Dennis Donovan]

33. I know it's not a clear-cut "no more debates" statement...

...but it shows a distinct disinclination on his part to debate her again, unless he gets to make all the rules, pick the mods and forum, etc. Fox seems to not be agreeing to it (but that could change, of course, with the mercurial Fox News). However, it takes two to agree to a debate, and Harris has no reason to agree to one, especially if the rules/mods are as absurd as Trump is demanding.

[ShazzieB]

137. In other words...

...it shows a distinct disinclination on his part to debate her again, unless he gets to make all the rules, pick the mods and forum, etc.

In other words, he won't agree to another debate unless he is in full control of every aspect and can make sure sure the odds are overwhelmingly stacked in his failure.

Kamala would have to be pretty stupid to agree to participate in such a farce, and she's not stupid. Even though he'd rather die than admit it, I'm sure he knows that on some level.

I also suspect he feels that flatly refusing any further debates would make him look weak (and he would probably be right about that). Poor little baby is stuck between a rock and a hard place!

[MorbidButterflyTat]

39. "When a fighter loses, he says: 'I want a rematch. I want a rematch.'"

He must have seen Rocky II recently.

[NH Ethylene]

71. You keep on thinking that, Donny.

Even though the whole world knows you were demolished.

[Emile]

24. Totally unqualified to be president. Lock him up!

[bdamomma]

26. The felon is scared of her

and his GQP is afraid to shut him down. WTF!!!!! For them it's the cult over country.

trump is many things, but he is not a masochist. he will conduct the rest of his campaign from rural sundown towns where his followers will gather and heap praise upon him.

[barbtries]

42. he was scared of her before the debate

now that it's over, he's fucking terrified of her.

he's the most dangerous now.

[hadEnuf]

59. Trump is a coward.

Unless Trump can rig the whole game and control the show, while accusing others of doing the same, he will run and hide in MAGA land where he is safe and can do anything he wants and his psychos will just squeal with praise.

[avebury]

61. I don't think that VP Harris actually needs anymore debates with Trump.

Requesting additional debates and Trump saying no is enough to make her look good and him look bad. It kind of certifies her victory while making him look like a coward and incompetent.

[redstatebluegirl]

63. She reminded me of the female Jedi in Star Wars

taking on Kylo Ren. Swinging that light Saber at lightening speed. I cannot stop smiling! And now that chicken sh.t will not debate again.

She did what alot of us always wanted to do, she killed the bully!

[ZonkerHarris]

67. No mas

Roberto Durán vs. Sugar Ray Leonard II, billed as The Super Fight, and later popularly known as the No Más Fight, was a professional boxing match contested on November 25, 1980, for the WBC and The Ring welterweight championship.[1] It took place at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, United States. It was the second of three bouts between the pair. It gained its name from the moment at the end of the eighth round when Durán turned away from Leonard towards the referee and quit by apparently saying, "No más" (Spanish for "No more&quot .

[Wednesdays]

68. Just as well.

He couldn't do any worse than he did last night, and this takes away any hope for redemption.

So, on to victory!

I think he’ll agree to a Fox debate, but hopefully there’s no way in hell Kamala would agree to that.

[uponit7771]

134. +1, I dislike his M$M enablers even less

[onetexan]

83. I just listened to Pod Save America & the guys said Kamala should not have another debate w the Con. I agree

given there would be no purpose to it and she has nothing to gain. She's already drawn the stark contrast between her and the Con and there's nothing else for her to prove. Rather she should just keep stumping and having rallies in battleground states, maybe a one to one interview or two, and that should bring it home for her on election day. It's more important she spends time meeting voters and locking up their votes than having to prep for another debate and having to refute the Con's absurdity. Kamala hit every punch she threw last night. It's plenty good enough.

[Glaisne]

84. Donald proves that he's a coward.

Just like every other right-wing bully.

[tornado34jh]

85. Hey Trump, if you can't take the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen, you whiny cowardly bastard!

It's as simple as that. Really, he is mad that he got routed. Also, why is he bitching about the media? As I said on another thread, if anything, the mainstream media has as of late not been nearly as hard on him than they really should. In fact, much of the media CEOs have donated to him. But again, you are a high-profile person, and any athlete, actor, singer, etc. will tell you the same thing.

123. He's a coward.

In the past a candidate would want to redeem himself after a bad debate. This guy is running away. Then again he and his handlers know he can't beat Harris no matter how much they try to prepare him. Trump can't control himself or stay on Message.

[Silent Type]

129. He knows that even if trump Jr is the moderator, VP Harris will still kick his rear.

[valleyrogue]

131. Kamala Harris didn't wreck him. He did it to himself.

Trump is done, finished. At least this Trump. There might be others in the pipeline for 2028 or 2032. It was inevitable he would implode no matter who is opponent was. He was mostly a creation of the media, in particular Jeff Zucker, his old friend at NBC and later at CNN, who gave him unlimited access back in the 2016 campaign, shutting out all rivals, and it is the media where he finally met his political end.

The only questions now are the down ballot races.

[Polybius]

138. He said almost the same thing when Biden dropped out, that the debate was off now

Yet he showed up. Probably will to the next one too.
