I think Harris should offer to debate Trump on Fox

on a date AFTER the already scheduled ABC debate, and only if he shows up for the ABC debate. I think a FOX debate only appeals to the already captured, don't think it would hurt her with democratic, new and undecided voters. Likely help her with how awful she'll be treated.

Just No.

She cannot give in to his demands the same way one does not negotiate with terrorists. Leave it to the Commission on Presidential Debates.

A better comparison would be a debate conducted by POD Save America and one on Fox News in that both are clearly partisan.

ABC is just MSN, and is hardly pro-Democrat.

Think. Again.

She's going to debate WeirdTrump on September 10 whether he shows up or not. There's no need to entertain his ridiculous games.

He shows up whining and complaining and insulting his opponents and somehow it always manages to even go more downhill after that.
He started this crap in 2016 and somehow keeps convincing people that he is actually debating. He isn't and he never will.

F him.
