    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.

      Part of the joke is how the debate process has been entirely hijacked by the parties themselves. News networks used to host these events, now they just get filming rights. The League of Women Voters used to present a neutral venue, but the parties went behind the organization’s back to set demands more appealing to the candidates.

      Trump refusing to participate in any kind of debate is just the latest in a long history of hostage-negotiation style organizing. I suspect they’ll end up on stage some time before November, after enough horse trading has taken place. But it’ll be so canned and superficial as to hardly matter.

      I could see that helping Trump’s case.

      His base would be arguing that he was just being his stoic self by not responding.

    Absolutely. Dew it and give people your policy vs Project 2025.

    Shit. Bring a Venn diagram or two and some belly laughs.

    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.”

    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

    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.

    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.
