There has never been a male spouse of a US PRESIDENT and if Kamala is nominated as candidate and elected , her husband would be known as FIRST GENTLEMAN … I wish her every success in the election as she will have to face off with bully boy Trump

Trump has actually said the September debate should be moved from ABC to Fox, in his usual elegant style.

Coward.

She was just on TV laughing and squealing something like “do you think I’ve just fallen out of a coconut tree?”

That's doing the rounds on tiktok. Seems to have captivated a lot of youngsters.

“I was told I was going to debate Kamala Harris,” Vance said here Monday during his first solo event as former President Donald Trump’s running mate. “And now President Trump is going to get to debate her? I’m kind of pissed off about that, if I’m being honest with you

That's from NBC.

Ah yes the Queen of Cackle.

I really don’t know much about her at all - I must do some homework. She certainly has an uphill battle on her hands.

Nanna8, may I suggest you add this book to your reading list?

"The Truths We Hold: An American Journey"

You’re joking surely varian? He will relish it!
Actually isn’t a head-to-head mandatory there in the run up to election? 🤔🤔

No one is obliged to debate. They can totally opt out.
Trump will because he knows he is now outfoxed.

Rekarie Mon 22-Jul-24 21:54:10

Syracute, yes you probably know more than I do! I did wonder are they allowed to opt out of these debates?

I've been reading up a lot about Kamala, very accomplished

I'm pretty sure Trump will engage in the debate. He would never want to appear weak, which he would do if he failed to appear.

Just you wait he will drag his feet !
Traitor Trump will be held accountable for his actions !
Have a look at Kamala‘s accomplishments .
Try Wikipedia .
As we say in the USA : he is up shits creek without a paddle ( pardon the vulgarity ) .

As someone just said

“it would be the prosecutor v the felon”

Siope Mon 22-Jul-24 21:13:24

I’ve been talking to some friends for whom Harris was Senator.

They say she was excellent, and people should look at her work there, rather than as a rather restricted VP, as a better indication of what kind of President she would make.

I think Trump would debate her. His ego is too big to let him believe she’d beat him. I hope the moderators stop him trying to physically intimidate her as he did Hillary Clinton.

Wyllow3 Mon 22-Jul-24 21:12:49

Button!

Wyllow3 Mon 22-Jul-24 21:12:07

I agree: the format of having. 5 mins to make coherent argument without interrupting (mute Botton on) or blustering would favour her.

Depends on who runs it too, all highly politicised and contested. I think agreed questions before hand.

Iam64 Mon 22-Jul-24 20:55:38

Debate between Kamala Harris and D Trump will be interesting. She’s very bright, was an excellent prosecutor, well able to challenge truculent individuals. Trump is a bully, he talks over people, stabs his finger and rambles incoherently.
He sneers at women and makes derogatory comments.

Guarantee he will avoid as he knows he will be over his head.

Yes I’m sure you are correct. If Harris gets the nomination Trump will not debate with her.

Politically I am more a Republican than a Democrat but hope for the sake of the rest of the world that Kamala Harris or whoever is to replace Joe Biden kicks Trump in to the wilderness.
I really love your posts Urms, I don’t agree with many of your political views but love how you throw a little grenade in here and there and then sit back and enjoy.
Always polite, always self deprecating. Always make me smile.
Makes it all more entertaining for the rest of us.

I don’t find it entertaining I find those misinformed grenades based on NO FACTS dangerous.
It’s perverse, just like Trump.
I will be voting and I do NOT appreciate goady fake news.
It’s just a Trumpsky Traitor Train.
Just stop 🛑

Wyllow3 Mon 22-Jul-24 20:26:16

It would probably only be possible after the official adoption at the Democratic conference (Aug 17th) as atm she is VP?

Wyllow3 Mon 22-Jul-24 20:24:37

I'd like to see it!

I doubt whether Trump would ever agree to debate Kamala Harris
