    She should show up without him. Do the debate, answer the questions, show an empty podium for 15 seconds between questions, and really make an event of it.

    Needling Trump is great, but I still think Kamala needs to stop begging for another debate. People have already started early voting. The time for debates is over. And if we did have another debate, the press would just latch onto something Kamala says or does and then run with it. We don’t need to be taking those kinds of risks this late in the election.

      You’re acting like she has the election locked up and all she can do is blow it at this point.

      It looks close to a toss up at this point, and the debate was a winning thing for her before. trump and painted himself into a corner because he either takes the debate, and then they can hammer him on flip flopping, and she likely wins again, or he keeps hiding and she can chip away at that “strpng man” nonsense he is trying to paint himself as.

      Sure there is an outside chance that he takes the debate and wins…but he’s not taking it because even they realize what an outside chance that this.

      This is a great bet by her that you would have to be stupid not to take.

        No, I’m acting like it’s a close race and Kamala doesn’t need to gamble on another debate. It’s not about her “winning”. Trump’s base doesn’t care how he performs at a debate or what he says at a debate — they are going to vote for him no matter what. Kamala’s base does. She’d just be opening herself up to performance criticism and other press “gotchas” at this point. There’s just no need and it would accomplish nothing.

          it’s a close race

          Trump’s base doesn’t care about how he performs

          You’re so, so close it hurts.

          Yes, it’s a close race. Yes, Trump’s base doesn’t care about how he performs. So why would you think that, this late into the race, a debate is for anyone other than undecided individuals? Do you think that Fox Entertainment continuing to do what Fox Entertainment does is going to convince undecideds? No, otherwise they wouldn’t be undecided.

      She already said in her media “interviews” that there isn’t anything she’d have done different than Joe Biden, and then later corrected something she’ll do different is hire a neocon Republican like Liz Cheney.

          And then there is the life altering stance she actually took and the embarrassing withdrawal from a statement by Walz because Harris didn’t agree:

            Someone changing their opinion from 5 years ago? What, was she presented with new information or something?

            And a Vice-presidential candidate doing what the presidential candidate tells them to do? So I guess when Kamala is in office Walz is just going to do what he’s told? Hardly the role of a vice-president!
