Will Harris accept the challenge to debate Trump?

[Servus]

Personally, I think he should have accepted the offer, and said it will be on Fox this time, and will be under the conditions of his choosing after Harris and Biden both got what they wanted. It's only fair to see how Harris can perform in an environment where she's facing moderators who aren't liberals, and an audience that may be mostly rooting for the other guy. Could she handle it (without Tim Walz next to her)?

I agree.

Yeah and that was pretty lame of her. I hope Trump is at least a little braver and willing to take her up on her challenge to a second debate.

No he’s not but I would think he might want to have another shot to clean up the mess he made of the first and only debate he’s had with a worthy opponent.

Maybe he wants to see how much she'll beg and demand and then see if she'll accept his terms.

Trump can't win either way. If he accepts doing a debate after saying he won't, she'll then say that she was able to make him do it--making it look like she can control him. If he doesn't accept, then she'll go on and on about Trump being afraid to debate her. Still, if I were him, I'd accept doing a debate but only on his terms this time. That it would be up to her to accept his conditions, and she would look like the weak one that was simply bluffing about doing a debate again if she declined the offer.

He already refused to debate her on Sept 10th unless she debated him on Sept 4th. Not that I'm disagreeing that he shouldn't have flat out refused this time around. But I think there are certain particulars involved.

ROFL

Trump caved and accepted Democratic rules and sites. The arguing is over.

Of course, the rules are not equally fair to both sides. Why would a sitting president or VP offer that? They don't need the debates as much as a challenger.

The scenario is painting her into a corner. She keeps demanding and challenging. He finally accepts but on his terms. She then does a turnabout and refuses.
