    If he’s not going to debate her then Harris should literally give a 90 minute PowerPoint on project 2025 and what it will do to your pay your healthcare, your environment everything…

      Instead, a comparison between Trump’s project 2025 vs her goals might be better. Actually look to the future, instead of the doom and gloom of “don’t vote for him” would do wonders to get people excited to vote, which helps turnout.

      With a picture of the former president on an empty chair emphasizing and underlining his conscious decision not to participate because he knows he can’t debate her on these points.

      A PowerPoint will help her connect with the youth. Perhaps she can let them know how project 2025 will roll out over the first few quarters.

          Would it help excite you and retain your attention if she sprinkled some spicy memes in the powerpoint?

          One would think that a Project 2025 fascist government that has no qualms about shooting protesters should be enough to keep your attention about it. But if it takes memes, I’m sure she’d do it.

    Guys, have you noticed that Harris laughs. Like when she finds something funny she laughs at it. Fucked up, right?

    When she was a prosecutor, she put people in jail that pled guilty or were convicted by a jury. What a monster.

    Maybe she’s secretly been assuming the duties of the President when Biden wasn’t feeling well. We should look into that. That would make her… bad somehow.

    Is she actually Hillary Clinton in a mask, maybe? Can we test that on 4chan?

    Good thing we always have old faithful- racism and sexism. That’ll swing those undecideds.

    He should create a platform with goals and policies with detailed plans that will appeal to enough voters to get him elected.

    Republicans being unable to stop themselves from being racist and sexist might well play in Harris’ favour here. The vast majority of racists and sexists were going to vote for Trump anyway, but this type of approach and messaging might alienate some moderate undecided voters.

    Just hours after she announced her candidacy, Trump’s super PAC released an ad attacking Harris, claiming she “covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline” and that she “knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it” herself.

    Is this really the own he thinks it is? By most measures the Biden/Harris term has been fairly successful so giving your opponent credit for the lions share of that work is certainly an interesting strategy. And the coverup is a fairly toothless accusation since Biden actually stepped down in time.

        Would be funny to run back the “I approve of this message” counterplay, but I think they have too much respect for Biden to do that.

        Yeah but I don’t think you were considering voting for Trump… I think that in practice associating her with an unpopular president’s actions isn’t a bad idea when her main selling point is that she isn’t either Biden or Trump.

            Biden’s approval rating is lower than Trump’s is right now and lower than Trump’s was at any time between this point during his presidency and the 2020 election, although it isn’t lower than Trump’s was at the lowest point during his presidency.

            It’s also lower than Nixon’s or GWB’s were at any point during their first terms (although GWB isn’t a useful reference due to 9/11).

              yeah Im comparing presidential terms but im not so sure trumps was not lower at the end of his one term but again I was just using full term ratings although bidens is tentative since we can’t get the last 6 monthsish.

                Trump’s was lower at the end of his term than Biden’s is now, but I’m not sure how relevant that is since it was after everyone knew that Trump had lost the election (and then after the January 6th riot).

      I mean, that fox host came real close with “colored” when he referred to one of the historic black fraternities/sororities.

    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

    Trump’s statement explaining why he refuses to debate says it all. Pathetic.

    who’s anyone kidding? GOP will just follow their usual strategy of shouting lies upon lies upon lies while pounding their fists and stomping their feet, and make everyone waste time debunking the bullshit hurricane

    at least they have 4 months instead of 4 years

    Don’t be fooled.

    This is the “And it’s Harris coming up the inside!” part of the horse race.

    In October they’ll swing it hard back to trump to goose all the sweet sweet clicks out of you poors before the election.
