“Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Tyler said. “He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept 10. The vice president will be there one way or the other to take the opportunity to speak to a prime time national audience.”
Tyler said the Harris team would be “happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to.”
“Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th,” Tyler added.
I really like how they’re calling out his weird, old man games at every turn.
Seriously.
Stop bending over for the opposition. Democrats for the past 25 years kept compromising while Republicans got what they want and then moved the line.
They compromise because Dems need all three of presidency, house of representatives, and Senate to pass anything. They’ve had that for, drumroll please, 4 of the last 24 years. That’s 2 years under Obama and 2 years under Biden. Or if you want to go back further, 6 of the last 44 fucking years. And you wonder why they are forced to compromise?
I hope they use an empty lectern and focus at it every time Kamala mentions Trump.
Naw. Use a cardboard cutout, and have recorded statements of his that then she can play according to a little prearranged sounding board. Play some of his greatest hits, like grab ‘em by the pussy. Play back some of his Biden debate answers and go into depth as to why they are false. Play a little montage of things he was saying about how COVID’s not that big a deal.
You can set it up a HELL of a lot better than just her giving a speech and focusing on an empty lectern. You can still have an exchange between the two of them without needing him to be there. And then, have her finish it up by saying hey Donald there was a lot of stuff I didn’t get to. We’re gonna do this again in two weeks; if you want to be here we can do a debate, and if not, no biggie, I’ll just pick up where I left off. Let us know and all the best.
Oh, and then at the very end play back him saying any time, any place, and just sort of shrug and look around confused, like you’re searching for him somewhere on the debate stage. And then say all right then, see you in two weeks I guess, maybe, and then wave to the crowd and say all of y’all have a good night.
A British politician once failed to show up for a panel show and they replaced him with a literal tub of lard. For the whole thirty minutes.
It seems fitting for Trump.

I’m thinking lettuce.
They replaced Boris Johnson with a block of (melting) ice when he didn’t turn up to a climate debate.
I’d put a navel orange on the podium. Everyone will know who that represents.
Maybe Old Man Trump forgot he agreed to this specific debate with Harris? He’s weird, but give him the benefit of the doubt (until he doesn’t show up).
You mean the senile senior, Dementia Don? 34 times convicted felon and racist rapist?
Something about petards and vertical displacement comes to mind
