“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.’ Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds,” the statement said.
This is a statement from a presidential campaign.
Ha! I predicted this!
I also predicted Biden’s disaster and asked people around me why the fuck is Biden going to debate Trump. People said “he has no choice”. I found that quite questionable. Now Trump seems to be proving that candidates have a choice.
Sure Trump’s cowardice will damage his campaign. But getting an ass-beating in the debate is even more damaging, as Biden proved. So Trump is making his best tactical move for his ability.
(edit)
I would like it if the headlines were “Trump forfeits the debate” to rightfully emphasize the lossy nature of the decision.Can you predict a global Social Democratic overhaul?
Scratch that—make it democratic socialism (otherwise known as socialism)
All joking aside, you have to assume they’re going to challenge her candidacy and eventual legitimacy in court. Debating her is not only politically ill advised, but also a tacit agreement that she’s a legitimate candidate.
She’s been vice president for the past 4 years, so she already meets the legal requirements for office, and Republicans haven’t ever challenged it.
The DNC is next month, and the party has every right to make her the nominee if Biden isn’t running for reelection.
I don’t see any actual legal battle here. There’s absolutely zero legal precedent for blocking a party nomination before the convention or any of the relevant state deadlines pass.
They’re just running their mouths about this switch-up being improper because they’re panicking. They spent the last 4 years priming their base to care about one thing and one thing only: getting rid of the “Biden Crime Family”. Now that it’s down to the wire, Biden isn’t their opponent anymore.
They’re in the bargaining stage of grief, since Trump’s chances of winning have pretty much been killed, especially after introducing professional wet blanket J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate.
When has Precedent mattered to Robert’s Extreme Court?
Trump campaign says it won’t commit to Harris debate until she’s confirmed as nominee.
I’m a Free Thinking Republican and I think this is a GREAT and STRONG move by a FEARLESS LEADER who is trying to take down the DEEP STATE! Kamala is the DEEP STATE so Debating her would be STUPID even though it would be a PERFECT opportunity for Trump to Attack the Deep State like the Strong Man he is!
