Old Sleep Don is in a lose-lose situation here. If Dementia Don changes his mind and shows up, then the smart black woman will chew him up and spit him out because he's no match for her, not even close. If Drowsy Don doesn't show up, Harris can emphasize in every answer what a yellow-bellied chicken he is. Harris has outclassed him. He should give up and drop out, but his narcissistic weaknesses and crazy weirdness will force him to plow deeper into lame loser territory. Everyone get out and vote BLUE!
Calling him a yellow-bellied chicken is disrespectful to chickens. He's a spineless draft-dodging coward.
Hey, that’s disrespectful to draft dodgers and cowards.
Yeah. Lots of people dodged the draft because of things like "I don't want to go bomb brown kids with napalm in a south Asian jungle". not "waaa my heels hurt :(" because you're a rich fuck who hasn't worked a day in his life.
As well as our invertebrate friends.
Valid points.
He's a spineless
Oh, so it's cool to shit on invertebrates now then huh
True. SpongeBob, and the average jellyfish honestly, has more character and ethics than this shit-heel of an excuse for a political candidate could ever fathom.
At least when the jellyfish act stupid its cause they dont even have a decentralized nervous system.
I mean, we're currently shitting on perfectly innocent weird people by associating them with trump and couchfucker.
Some of us weirdos resent the association we did nothing to deserve.
the cowardly general bone spurs
He's just planning to push the "Rigged Election" line. Between his obvious insistence that the votes were rigged and now his inevitable claims that "They even had the debate without me," all of his shitty energy is going to be channeled into fabricating a casus belli for his next attempted Insurrection.
It would be very funny to see them try to J6 when there's an actual defensive perimeter set up with no orders to fuck around and let them freely roam the capital.
I think a lot of people are forgetting about this. Part of why J6 even got off the ground is because the POTUS and various other officials were complicit. Not so this time.
Oh hey the Democrats are actually acting like they want to fucking win for once this election.
Almost like the "young" candidate has more fight in her.
It's especially amusing that Trump is reduced to a sniveling ball of cowardice by someone the Republicans keep trying to characterize as a "DEI hire."
They won't do it, but it would be baller to set it up like a debate, and have the moderator prompt the empty Trump lecturn and have the camera hold on it for 5-10 seconds each time. It would effectively just be a Kamala campaign interview, but with a bit of shade casting between each question.
Everyone forgets but trump dropped out of the town hall debate with Biden in 2020. Biden actually showed up and just did the townhall by himself. He came off pretty well but godamn did he look like Jeff Dunham's puppet Walter because they had him squinting up at a mezzanine of questioners with all the lights in his eyes.
It's really weird that Trump wouldn't go to the debate
Quite weird. Maybe it's because it would be past his bedtime? He IS the oldest candidate to ever run
Hey, to be fair- he’s a busy guy. He has a lot of things going on. Maybe he’s planning to sexually assault someone that day. Or defraud investors. Or defraud banks. Or defraud campaign fund contributors. Or defraud a charity. Or start an insurrection. Or try to pressure a state government to overturn an election. Or try to blackmail a foreign government into producing dirt on his political opponent, or maybe he’s cheating on his wife. Or stealing government documents. Or selling government secrets to our enemies….
Seriously, he's got so much to do though. Like he's already set the precedent, can't get soft now. /s
Absolutely. Dew it and give people your policy vs Project 2025.
Shit. Bring a Venn diagram or two and some belly laughs.
It almost has to be Alec Baldwin doing Trump at the no-show debate. Recent complications aside, his impression has always been the definitive one.
I feel like there's be some ethical, possibly legal, problem with presenting an imposter as an opponent at an official debate. It's a bad precedent. Besides, Baldwin comes with too much baggage right now
Shane Gillis gets the Trump scumbaggery down just right.
It takes a scumbag to play a scumbag.
Oh boy what'd he do?
They need to do what BBC comedy show did one week when a politician guest didn't turn up and replace him with tub of lard.
Also more recently when Boris Johnson didn't want to show up for a climate change debate, Channel 4 replaced him with a slowly melting ice sculpture instead. This pissed him off so much he tried to privatise and sell off the whole station lol.
Man, American reporters need to attend some training over there!
She should just be unfailingly chipper, start calling him "old man" all the time, and framing everything around his insecurities.
"How they danglin' Old Man?" "Let the women speak, Gramps." "This country's too big for those tiny hands, Old Man." "Step aside and go yell at a cloud." "Shouldn't you be lying about your golf scores somewhere?"
That's always his plan of attack, so you KNOW it works on him. Mockery and dismissal will have him weeping with frustrated confusion. We've already seen the best he's got is "No, YOU are."
They would mean stooping to Trump's level. Just no.
That would mean speaking a language he understands. Being civil and taking the high road allows him to bulldoze right in. Visibly dismissing him as any kind of serious contender removes his fangs.
We all saw how well "they go low, we go high" went in 2016
it's settled then. let's talk about Trump's balls on the reg /s
lol you're actually suggesting a presidential candidate insult the other's genitals? Yeah, let's all be 11 years old now.
Trolls hate the light..bring it!!!!
They are going to call her weird for this, then go back and watch Clinton Eastwood yell at a chair.
I would pay money to watch her debate a Conan O'Brien Clutch Cargo version of Trump.
i wonder which would be more entertaining.. him being there or not
i would hope shed play clips of his policies (hehe) from his own mouth at his rallies
.. just realized how sad it is i used the word 'entertaining'.. these things now seem far from informational
This is what they should do. Show up to a "debate", give Trump time to show up, start after a token amount of time has passed, and then just start answering the questions that the moderators ask with no need for a rebuttal. It turns from a debate into a televised town hall style presentation. Don't forget to interject that her opponent was too afraid to answer these questions at every opportunity.
She seems to have developed some good political instincts after her pretty milquetoast run in '20.
Should debate kennedy, so it splits Trumps vote more. Kennedy already thinks he is working for Trump and will most likely drop out right before the election and endorse him.
I'll bet Trump is looking for some of those injections he claimed Biden used.

I’m sure Kamala would like to hangout with the debate moderator instead
The debate moderator would probably also be a better presidential candidate than Trump (I guess almost everyone would be better at this point)
