    well, technically . . . Trump was in fact the Commander-in-Chief of all the armed services. Walz was an NCO in the National Guard. So yes, both candidates have had a complex relationship with the military

    Has any other network lost a 700 million dollar law suit over lying about the last election? That would seem to have some relevance here.

    Biden wasn't afraid of fox news but even if you let that one go, then why is she avoiding NBC? What did they do to her besides have a lie audience debate? This is just really weird. Even Walz declined the CNN 9/18 VP debate. Granted there is typically only one but still

    I see you have zero response on Fox being as "fair" as any other network.

    They were in 2020 like I already said. And I see you yey again have zero response for Harris skipping NBC's debate on 9/25.

    Why is Harris not agreeing to attend the NBC 9/25 debate? Is it the live audience? I don't expect you to respond. You're avoiding that question, just like she's avoiding the press.

    That's because after Trump did the Fox debate, he would not show up for any of the others. That's why he wanted that one first.

    Nope there is no evidence of that. He agreed to all of them. Why is Harris avoiding the NBC debate on 9/25, and why do her supporters keep glossing over that one to only mention fox news

    "He agreed to all of them" is the evidence of that.

    That's evidence is he isnt afraid to debate on any of the networks, unlike Harris who is even afraid of NBC atm. Weird and not qualities of a leader that's for sure

    What's the detail of the NBC debate on 9/25? Googling isn't helping.

    There are no details other than Trump saying he agreed to the 9/4, 9/10, and 9/25 debates at his presser a few days back, and NBC confirming that: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...ts-face-harris-3-debates-september-rcna165840

    And NBC hosts live audience debates more than most, and has the past several elections. Fox wants to also. ABC won't be using one.

    Nope. Trump is serially dishonest and doesn't live up to his agreements. He hasn't paid bills, lies incessantly, and had a reason for trying to change his original agreement.

    There is a reason he wanted Fox first and those conditions. When the audience can cheer him, boo Harris and he believes the the moderator will also help him out, he could then not show up for any of the other debates. He wouldn't be punished in any way for doing that. Harris is wise not to give him that opportunity.

    A poor leader would be one that trusted the serially dishonest Donald Trump. He hasn't earned the trust.

    It is the wisest thing she could in terms of debates. Also, she has momentum on her side. She's more likeable and is doing better in terms of fundraising as well. It is traditional campaign strategy and nothing new.

    Whether the debate is live or not (among other considerations) is up to negotiation between the two sides.

    Since Harris said that if Trump shows up for the ABC debate, there would be another debate in October, they can negotiate the format of the NBC debate for an October date.

    You're "avoiding" getting in to a dumb-off with a bot but not as effectively as you could.

    I agreed to have Trump send me a check for $1 billion dollars. I am waiting for Trump to accept my terms. To no one's surprise, he has not.
