Trump Rules Out Another Presidential Debate Against Harris

[naomi24]

Does this surprise anyone?  It surprised me - him always being up for a battle -  but having listened to him yesterday I think he's not only lost the plot - I think he's scared.

The Donald doesn't scare easily.

He must know what a pigs ear he made of the last debate so I'm not surprised

well Andrew didnt ( the Prince that is!) - but andrew didnt have followers yelling that he was Great !

I liked him ( it is chutzpah innit) saying "I won the first two so I wont do a third"

"He must know what a pig's ear he made of the last debate so I'm not surprised" - surely that was a Possum leg?

Harris did not win the debate. Trump lost it.

Voters wanted to know what he would do for the economy, and instead got him pushing some conspiracy theory that immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.

don't forget "transgender operations on illegal aliens"

he is the same nasty old man he was ten years ago. paranoid and deranged. the majority of americans have never voted for him and it is a disgrace that such a creature was ever made president. i truly hope the USA can put this horrible and embarrassing episode in their history behind them and ditch this creep once and for all.

//"transgender operations on illegal aliens"//

 

?

[Untitled]

it's another claim he made during the debate

[naomi24]

First I've heard of that.  What did he say?

[Untitled]

He said "Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison"

[Peter Pedant]

um, if we havent seen the debate why are we discussing it?

Because it  is AB, some sourpuss will quip

[Gromit]

The election will be very close, the candidates are only a few points apart. Trump could well become President again.

What a strange place the United States has become.

[Stableford]

What is there to debate?  We have their records- Trumps 4 years as President, her 4 years as Vice President, and all they achieved (or didn't achieve), so not sure either of the candidates would gain anything by debating again.

[naomi24]

Untitled, what does that even mean?  What was her response?

[Spungle]

Trump was referencing Kamala Harris’s response to a 2019 ACLU questionnaire about rights for incarcerated people. 

The question asked: “As President will you use your executive authority to ensure that transgender and nonbinary people who rely on the state for medical care—including those in prison and immigration detention—will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care? If yes, how will you do so?”

Harris’s response was yes, along with the following explanation: “It is important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition. That’s why, as Attorney General, I pushed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide gender transition surgery to state inmates. I support policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition, including surgical care, while incarcerated or detained. Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment.”

Thanks spungle.  That makes more sense.

Good move which I suspect was driven by others not him.

Harris has no policies, has failed miserably on the border issues (and still not been there) and that is the way to fight it.  Sadly Trump (apart from being far to old IMHO) just cant keep his gob shut.

For this election I suspect for many floaters it will be the lesser of two eveils or we may see a whole bunch stay at home.

Be interesting to see the Postal vote this time round.

can we say 'undecided voters' please.....floaters are something else

No she  is doing a Starmer or Bliiar - dont say anything and let him ( the  opponent ) screw it up

[Barmaid]

I saw a post after the debate which said "Poor Canada must think they are living above a meth lab", which made me laugh.

Unfortunately, Trump is not giving a good account of himself and he does not sound all that "together".  Harris might not have all the policies set out, but she came across well (in the selective bits I saw).  

The twitterfest of cat and dog jokes has been fun though but  I will be glad when this is over.
