Trump claims victory. But the real reason is he no doubt knows he got his clock cleaned on Tuesday night.

So where are the MAGAts complaining about Kamala not sitting for interviews? Seems to me that Orange Chicken running from a debate is worse.

BTW, Trump carts around conspiracy theorist and racist Laura Loomie on his plane and part of his inner circle.

Even to the 9/11 commemoration ceremony despite her conspiracy claim the U.S. government was behind 9/11. Outrageous and insulting!

lol... Kamala is having Orange Chicken for dinner tonight.

Funny too that House Repubs were just clamoring for him to accept another Debate ASAP.

They are running scared now; literally running their races in fear of losing the House bigly... and more importantly their jobs.

American politics are strange to me.

Before the debate Trump offered two of dates and networks agree, and organized things for more debates, Kamala says "No"
After the debate Kamala is offering to debate again, Trump says "No".

Both sides win. Americans lose.

Didn't' there use to be a debate commission? What happened to that?

@#1 ... Trump claims victory. ...

I saw that.

But if he won by the large margin he said he won by (~best debate performance in history~) then why has be been whining incessantly about the debate since it ended?

Republicans urge Trump to accept second debate against Harris
www.newsnationnow.com

... Allies of former President Trump are urging him to accept a second debate with Vice President Harris after she turned in a strong performance Tuesday night, effectively putting the ball in Trump's court for a second meeting.

Harris's team wasted no time calling for another debate, while Trump refused to commit.

Some Senate Republicans believe Trump could use another bite at the apple.

"I think it would be an opportunity," said Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), one of his top surrogates. "If I was in Trump's position, I would." ...

Harris should accept the debate and use the airtime to tell the nation what she plans to do as president.

She needs to talk more to the American public and form more trust amongst people still unsure about her.

#15 | Posted by LampLighter at 2024-09-12 05:06 PM

Trump's post debate spin alternates between "I won" and "the debate was rigged." Why'd he say it was rigged if he's also saying he won it. Is he saying it was rigged so he won it? Or does he not understand basic logic, that winning a rigged contest isn't really winning at all and it's not in his best interest to claim it is?

MAGA Pastor Claims Kamala Harris Deployed 'Witchcraft' in Trump Debate

www.yahoo.com

@lancewallnau

When I say "witchcraft" I am talking about what happened tonight. Occult empowered deception, manipulation and domination. That's what ABC pulled off as moderators, and Kamala's script handlers set up the kill box. One sided questions and fact checking sealed the box. Witchcraft. It's not over yet, but something supernatural needs to disrupt this counterfeit momentum because the same public that voted in Obama is voting again and her deception is advancing.

If Trump wins in November, will the Salem witch trails be back on the table?

#20 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-09-12 06:53 PM

Based on the above, I believe that Trump does understand his current limitations in his ability to comfortably pivot effectively in a rapid debate format. If this remote yet professionally informed diagnosis is anywhere close to the truth, Trump will avoid another debate with Harris lest his decline might become undeniable to even his closest and staunchest supporters.

The tables regarding Biden and Trump have taken quite the dramatic turn as Joe proved unable to counter Trump's bombast under the pressure of an intense debate. Tuesday night we witnessed Trump having the same types of difficulty with Harris. And based on the events of the last 60+ days, the GOP should clearly recognize how this is going to end.

#24 | Posted by Corky at 2024-09-12 07:26 PM

When he does it'll fall into single digits

He won't sell them on the open market, he'll sell them privately to an individual or individuals, so at least the market price won't plummet until after the sale information becomes public.

Of course, this is nothing more than influence peddling of the highest order because the money being funnelled to Trump will come from people already invested in him and his ability to do what they need should he become President again because it's almost assured whoever it is will likely lose most of the money they spend to buy the over-valued failing stock.

And any transaction could also be a part of a money laundering scheme as well, depending upon its providence. Ultimately, taxpayers will be on the hoof when Trump's "investors" write off their capital loss.

If it isn't a grift, Trump ain't interested.

The moderators in the ABC Jerry Springeresq debate gave her a layup. There needs to be a non biased coordinated event where both candidates are fact checked as they respond to the issues.

Trump scheduled the debate with Fox News. Harris was never consulted about that date or that venue and never agreed to it. She said, I'll see him on September 10th if he shows up, and then we can talk about other debates.

ABC only fact-checked 3 of Trump's 33 lies. A debate that fact-checked all of Trump's lies would get bogged down in the first 5 minutes.

Trump gibbered during that debate; he often spoke like a crazy man, which-of course-he is.

#34 | Posted by Zed at 2024-09-13 09:34 AM

PS Trump said he'd only do a debate with Hannity, Ingrams or Watters moderating if the debate was on Fox. He rejected Brett Baier and Marth MacCallum as potential Fox moderators, so there is no way Trump is wanting "a non biased coordinated event where both candidates are fact checked as they respond to the issues."

An agreement with Biden is not an agreement with her.

So she never agreed. Glad you agree! (In spite of your previous attempts to twist the truth to suit your narrative)

The VP doesn't have a "boss".

There's literally no one with the ability to fire the VP. The only way a VP can be removed is term expiration, impeachment, or death. The entire job description is occasionally preside over the senate, take over if the president can't continue doing the job, and announce some vote counts. They usually do some other stuff because the 'job' would be utterly boring otherwise. But if they decide to sit and watch TV all day, no one can make them do anything else.

#38 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Nope. Biden and Trump agreed on two debates: the one in June and the one on September 10. Harris agreed to do the one on September 10 in place of Biden. Trump made up the one on September 4. after the DNC convention. It had never been agreed been agreed upon by anyone but him.

#43 | Posted by Gal_Tuesday at 2024-09-13 02:04 PM

Biden and Trump, trading barbs, agree to 2 presidential debates, in June and September

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on Wednesday agreed to hold two campaign debates--the first on June 27 hosted by CNN and the second on Sept. 10 hosted by ABC--setting the stage for their first presidential face-off to play out in just over a month.

Kamala Harris NEVER, not once, ever agreed to a September 4 debate on FoxNews. Nor is there indication whatsoever that she had an input whatsoever when Biden allegedly agreed to such a debate. To argue that somehow Harris was committed to the Sept 4 debate or somehow had an obligation to participate in a Sept 4 debate is a lie of the most disingenuous nature. It is, in short, a Trumpesque argument. OneIron knows that. He is just trying to score cheap argument points with something that every informed person knows is a lie.

In any case, the important point is that now she has her campaign up and running, and is prepared to intelligently make decisions about her campaign, she is willing and offering to negotiate a second debate with Team Trump. And he is crying like a baby, refusing to even allow his handlers to participate in such discussions.

#48 | Posted by moder8 at 2024-09-13 10:21 PM
