Evasion. Trump debated numerous times before. Harris has not. Plus the Republicans at least held genuine open primaries to select their candidate. The Dems?

If VPs are worth anything, then Vance was a clever pick. He will shore up support in the Rust Belt states and swing states in the same area. I cant see too many ex steel workers voting for Kamala.

Sounds reasonable. Perhaps modify it to say you can serve until term limit, but if your term includes your 65th or 70th birthday, you cannot seek re-election or any election after that.

Trump debated better and smarter opponents than Kamala in 2016, 2020, and 2024. She has done nothing since her national embarrassment in the Democratic primaries of 2020. The idea that she is somehow a master debater is laughable, and there is no evidence whatsoever to support it. Just the fever dreams of Trump haters who are eager to see anyone challenge him. Look at it this way. Assume that the Democrats had an actual democratic process to pick their candidate. All the main players were invited to debate- Harris, Newsome, Shapiro, Whitmer, etc. How do you think she would do?

I have no problem with a mandatory retirement for the Supremes, say 70 or 75. But term limits are another issue. It would leave them vulnerable to manipulation if they planned to keep working after leaving the Bench. IMHO, term limits for Congress would be much more effective. The Presidency has a 2 term limit, which is great. I would extend that to both the House and the Senate- max 2 terms in each. And a mandatory retirement as above. Too much furniture in the Congress, too many people who see politics as a profession and not as a public service.

That's a rather shocking and outrageous thing to say. For shame. You KNOW the correct answer is "the library"!

It is somewhat ironic to hear lefties, who hate guns and know little about them, pontificate about what kind of bullet or fragment would cause what damage. They probably think the AR15 is an automatic rifle.

I actually found some video of a 'pre debate' that the two had...

Perhaps. Yet the latest polling shows Trump up by nearly 2% nationwide, and winning most of the battleground states as well. But things can change. If history is any guide, Kamala will falter once she is exposed to the public, much like she did in 2020. History repeats itself.

Actually, in California you DO get to that level, if you know the 'right people'. You really do have it bad, don't you? You have no idea what Trump thinks or doesn't think. But you insist on being some kind of mind reader, if only to fulfil your own querilous fantasies. Also, good to see that you have no evidence for Kamala's alleged skills, either in the courtroom or in the debate hall. Just more fantasy and wishful thinking.

Sounds fascinating. Surely you have a few examples of cases she prosecuted, and evidence of her courtroom prowess.

He agreed to debate the President. And did. And watched him implode. Who's to say that brittle Kamala may not do the same? She hasn't been challenged about any of her beliefs in, well, forever.

Well, you have seen and heard wrong. Not surprising. And half of the American people want to hear it as well. Amazing how you take it so personally that someone would disagree with you. Fascinating.

Not running. Just waiting for the Dems to officially coronate their queen. He already wasted one debate on a candidate who dropped out, why waste another? Plenty of time to set up a meeting once Kamala is selected. So... could you dig up any info on how the feared Kamala is such a debate master? Any of her performances show her skills?

Can you name anyone (other than Willie Brown) who has ever had 'their clock cleaned' by Harris? Name one debate performance of hers that stands out in your mind. Trump has faced better and smarter and more experienced people in debates, and did well. Who has Kamala faced?

You are not going to see much of Joe for the next several months. I am pretty sure that Kamala won't have him out on the hustings, campaigning for her. Nah, he will be kept sequestered in the White House (and his beach house) for most of the remaining days until the election.

Don't get your panties in a twist. I would think that perhaps the top 20, top 50 universities could be called "great schools". As in intellectual reputation and scholarly research. It was in comparison to the much maligned JD Vance's alma mater. Nothing against Howard, it's a good school to be sure. But "great"? Come on, man. Even the OP who mentioned it backtracked once the facts came to light.

Nice non answer. They had no agreed on debate.

You can play semantics and word games all you want, but the fact is that Biden put her in charge of the border. Here is his actual speech from March 24, 2021 when he did so; I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that help — are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border. and she’s leading the effort because I think the best thing to do is to put someone who, when he or she speaks, they don’t have to wonder about is that where the President is. When she speaks, she speaks for me. Doesn’t have to check with me. So yeah, maybe he didnt speak the magical words Border Czar, but that is irrelevant. She was in charge, with full Presidential authority and power, and blew it.

I know, I just dont understand the logic. He debated Clinton, Biden, Cruz.... what on earth makes anyone think he would be scared of an intellectual lightweight like Kamala? Complete withful thinking. Who has Kamala debated?

So, in other words, you've got nothing. Well, nothing except the usual tiny fisted personal attacks. No way to back up your words with anything but more hot air.

The difference? Biden was the President and the defacto nominee at that point. There were no challengers. So the two sides worked out the details. Harris is still the uncoronated one. If she wants to debate Trump, she can make a proposal of her own- not just try to piggyback on Biden. I am sure Trump would be happy to oblige.

Trump DID control himself in the debate, didn't you watch it? Your unhinged personal attacks only show that you have very little of value to add to the conversation. Still waiting for your evidence of Kamala's debating acumen or extemporaneous speaking skill...

She barely squeaked by in the election of 2010, drastically underperformed in a very blue state. Ten percent lower than the previous election cycle. She was a mediocre candidate who was dragged across the finish line by her 'close friend' Willie Brown.

Reallly? Because that is EXACTLY what Trump did in his historic debate with Biden. He adapted to the format, learned how to control himself, and let Biden twist in the wind. Please tell me any time that Kamala has 'creamed' anyone in a debate. I'll wait...
