He’s already trying to weasel out of the next debate. He’s scared.

Can you blame him? Kamala was a District Attorney and an Attorney General. Even a competent opponent who based their arguments on facts would be intimidated.
Trump wouldn’t stand a chance on that stage.
IDK, considering the MAGA crowd consider Trump lies better than facts, because everybody know by now, that facts have a liberal bias.
the fight is not for maga votes, it is for the undecided morons in the middle.
The fight is against the couch, idiot undecided voters are basically a coin toss. Getting 80%+ of your supporters to actually vote for you is all you really need.
Nothing was more demoralizing than Biden in the last debate. Trump against someone under 60 could have the same thing happen to him.
People on the couch are the undecided voters. The more Democrats call them idiots, the less incentive they have to vote for whoever the Democrat nominee is.
Trump loves the poorly educated
Okay... and what are Democrats going to do about that to help educate America? Are they going to tax churches who act as a conduit for the Republican party and think tanks like The Heritage Foundation, who wants to defund the Department of Education?
We haven't heard Kamala debate. She was not very popular in 2020. Sometimes she comes across as cringey and foolish. I wish people would stop acting like she should be coronated. She needs to prove herself before being the nominee. Just handing everything to her on a silver plater isn't going to get the response Democrats are hoping for.
“Coronated” is a real tell as to what your opinion diet consists of.
My opinion diet? What are you on?
She’s the VP, and the President’s nomination. She’s already on the ballot, so she has access to existing campaign funds. There are no outspoken challengers, and there are eight weeks until early voting ballots are sent out.
What do you suggest instead?
There is at least one outspoken challenger that I know of. She should hopefully be starting some live interviews today on news networks. If she's like Biden and stays hidden unless there is a teleprompter and has her team silence anyone else, she's toast too. She was also running cover and part of the team shielding Biden which is what put us in this predicament. If she intends to beat Trump, she needs to come out and start speaking about how she is different. The further she can distance herself from Biden altogether, the better.
Care to share a link or her name? Your comment reads like disengagement propaganda by putting down Harris without supporting your nameless alternative.
BTW I'm not putting her down. I'm saying handing it to her without any public debate or discourse, and just acting like cause she was Biden's VP that she's already got this, isn't a winning strategy. She's got to distance herself from Biden now and show America what she's got that will be superior and better.
Williamson didn’t break 10% in the 2020 primary. What makes you think she’s going to capture more of the Democratic vote now?
I didn't say she would. I said Kamala needs to prove herself... she needs to have some public discourse with other people to show the public she is the best candidate. If another candidate makes her look weak and she can't talk about an agenda in details, then she's not going to do very well.
She has been the fucking VICE PRESIDENT for awhile now, and she's been an attorney general AND a district Attorney. She does not need to "prove herself".
So the Joe & Kamala ticket was losing in polls badly, causing other Democrats to suffer. Kamala is going to have the exact same issue if she doesn't prove herself. What she proved so far was she was fine with genocide, she was fine with elder abuse. If she doesn't distance herself from Joe and show us something different, then Joe might as well have stayed in. What is a democracy if the voters have no say in the matter, and the nomination is just given to the same corporate puppet that stood alongside the losing candidate?
I remember her from her last campaign. She is pretty articulate on stage, but she has some really fucking loony beliefs. Way too much spirituality and love. That's a fine message for self-help books, but it was a bad look when Nancy Reagan was dialing Miss Cleo for advice, and it would look even worse today.
Trump would tear her up one side and down the other.
You want Kamala to prove herself? The clowns I've seen stepping forward - Manchin and now this - aren't going to prove or disprove anything.
Because the DNC did what they always do. They said sure we'll change the face but not give you choice. They hope just having a younger black female version of Biden will be sufficient, even though nothing is really changing. Voters weren't just worried about Biden's age, they are also tired of being manipulated and gaslit about their party.
