President Joe Biden dropped out of the race against Donald Trump and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris after his disastrous June debate performance.
The “entertainment network” that paid $750 million for lying to the American public regarding the outcome of last presidential election wants to host the candidates for next presidential election? Color me shocked
It's probably a trap...but beating him there would be a huge huge fucking deal.
Trump took the last debate on Biden teams terms and despite that Biden still cocked it up and that made the burn worse(had that debate been on Fox the age issues would have been blamed on their audio mixing and editing and the room being too hot and crap). If Trump loses on his own turf on his rules with his followers watching?
They wouldn't follow the rules though. It would definitely be a trap. They would cut her mike but Trumps mute would 'stop working' for whatever reason. He'd do that creepy hover shit and Fox would zoom in on him with her forehead barely in view while she is the one actually talking, and so on. ABC is at least kind of neutral vs. CNN or Fox. Agreeing to Fox wouldn't even be parity with what Trump agreed too for the first one.
It's been a pretty effective strategy for Trump so far. It's pretty much the only effective strategy he's got: Accuse your opponent of anything and everything you're planning on doing. Not only does it put your opponent on the defensive having to defend against false allegations, but when they call you out for actually doing it, their accusations are either written off as no big deal or retaliation.
Right or wrong, it's actually a very effective strategy. Think of two brothers fighting. One runs to mommy to complain. What happens 95% of the time? The one who gets there first gets to tell their story, and whoever gets there second is told "leave your brother alone" and probably gets grounded. And most of the time, mom neither knows or cares who did what.
I think it's wonderful. Bring up Fox pushing the stolen election narrative and watch the moderators deflect and sweat like it violates the terms of a lawsuit
Yeah I wouldn't take those personally. People are expressing unhappiness with the article, not the poster. Ideally not how this works but it is what it is. At least points don't really matter.
Co-host it with two moderators from two news networks. It’d be a first and a good ratings gimmick.
Rules:
No audiences from either network. Give each moderator a the ability to ask fast follow up questions in the event that the opposing moderator asked a leading question.
The Harris team should insist that the microphone not be muted. I know this will make the debate unwatchable, but the rule obviously benefits Trump, because Harris already knows how to wait her turn without electronic intervention.
