Trump doesn’t want to debate Harris. Of course he doesn’t.

In a statement released Thursday night, Trump’s campaign explained that they would be putting any future presidential debates on hold.

“Given the continued political chaos surrounding Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, general election debate details cannot be finalized until Democrats formally decide on their nominee,” said Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung.

Childish.

“There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat party—namely Barack Hussein Obama—that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone ‘better,’” said Cheung. “Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds.”

Still childish.

Despite Trump’s repeated attempts to avoid going head-to-head with Harris, she has continued to push for a debate on September 10. “Voters deserve to see the split screen that exists on a debate stage,” she wrote in a post on X Thursday. “I’m ready. So let’s go.”

It occurs to me there’s an advantage in her having been a prosecutor. It means she’s had a lot of practice dealing with verbally and legally skilled opponents face to face in real time. That’s an advantage Hillary Clinton didn’t have. I bet it will come in handy. I doubt Captain Blowfish will be able to rattle her.

    So debating someone with the verbal and legal skills of Trump will be a new experience for her.

    Nice to see that Cheung has the verbal dexterity of his boss. ‘A strong sense by many…namely Barack Hussein Obama’. One person is not many people.

    Well we know who thinks Harris is a Marxist, and it ain’t the Democrats. Look to your right Cheung. No, farther.

    I’d throw that Marxist accusation back at his VP pick (though Maoist is more appropriate).

    AoS @ 1 – well what I really meant was that she’ll do better in the debates than Hillary Clinton did – because she has so much more experience sparring with assholes.

    The word “Marxist” as used by right-wingers has lost all meaning – to them it just means “bad.” I don’t know why they don’t shift to “Stalinist”; it would make far more sense.

    Because for them that’s a recommendation? Like when Trump interpreted Vance comparing him to Hitler as a compliment.

    I wish I weren’t only half joking.
