Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Former US President Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed on his Truth Social account on X, that vice president and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris will not show up in the scheduled Fox News debate on September 4. Trump's X post read, "Comrade Kamala Harris has just informed us that she will NOT do the Fox News Debate on September 4th. I am not surprised by this development because I feel that she knows it is very difficult, at best, for her to defend her record-setting flip-flopping on absolutely everything she once believed in, including her statements about there being no fracking in Pennsylvania and her performance on the border." Trump criticized Harris for allegedly deciding against the debate and said that he would instead now participate in a Tele-Town Hall anchored by Sean Hannity for Fox News, which is set to take place in Pennsylvania.

Also there are only so many times she can say return on investment in a 2 minute period before reporters, moderators, and the American People's heads explode.

America can't trust someone who won't even show up for a debate. Harris and Walz think them interviewing each other is going to get her through this.

She won't show up because she never agreed to participate in it.

Harris campaign says it will participate in 2 presidential debates and 1 VP debate (August 15, 2024)
thehill.com

... Vice President Harris has agreed to debate former President Trump on Sept. 10 on ABC News.

Trump has said he accepted two other proposed debates, one on Sept. 4 on Fox News and another on Sept. 25 on NBC News.

But Thursday's statement makes clear Harris will not partake in either the Fox or NBC events but would instead participate in an October debate with Trump, as long as he attends the Sept. 10 showdown. ...

"She won't show up because she never agreed to participate in it."

Hmmm Not agreeing to show up - Not showing up.... Either way there was an offer.

What's the definition of "is"

How can Kamala back out of something she never agreed to? Something she would never agree to; debating on Fox News.

Put another way, did Trump back out of eating the warm dog turd I just found on the sidewalk? Is he the coward?

She did not back out because she never agreed to it.

The assertion that she "backed out" is the result of the verbal gymnastics that MAGA has to go through when they actually believe the alternate-reality phlegm that fmr Pres Trump says.

Great. Biden is going to show up and debate Trump for those agreed upon dates between the two of them. Trump and Harris can make their own agreements and terms.

How many errors can you make in one post?

Did you read the applicable terms? Of course you didn't, because that would take effort beyond repeating whatever lies the right-wing media chooses to regurgitate.

The debate terms do not identify the participants by name. It's based on polling percentages and appearing on state ballots. Biden doesn't appear on any state ballots or national polls, but Trump does. So Trump is required to appear by the terms that he agreed to.

Why would any Democratic candidate agree to debate Dotard in the middle of one of his Klan rallies? Because that's what was proposed, on Faux in front of a live Faux chosen audience. She would never get to answer a question, either the fat orange pedo would be interrupting and talking over her, or the MAGAts in the audience would be booing her. It's not her "handlers" who aren't letting her do it, it's her choice, because to do it would be insane. The candidate for POTUS who got the better of Bill Barr and made Kegstand Kavanagh cry is the opposite of what you losers try to make her out to be, she's brilliant, and America will see that on Thursday night. Then with the ABC debate, she will add Dotards tiny orange balls to her collection with Kavanagh and Barr's, and everybody will see who should be POTUS. Dotard's desperate for debates to try to stem her momentum, which should put her six to ten points up nationally after the DNC and well ahead in enough states to give her at least 300 EVs.

Trump Melts Down After Harris's Debate Decision Leaves Him Rattled
www.yahoo.com

The drama of it all may be an aggressive strategy for Trump to reframe himself as unafraid to show down against the famed prosecutor after he stunningly disappointed some of his fans by backing out of one of the debates earlier this month. (He has since flip-flopped.) Fans were so upset by the supposed strongman's decision that they got the hashtag "#TrumpIsACoward" trending on Truth Social after the news broke.

Speaking of "awareness" ... you obviously aren't aware how funny it sounds when a maga maroon tries to talk about someone else's lack of self awareness.

Grammar police here. An error has been detected in the headline.

'backout' is not a word. Perhaps you meant blackout?
