Vice President Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump 2024

He's not gay though, he just wears eyeliner.

The only things that matters are those things considered important in the six swing states.

What people in California or Boston or Washington states think, is of no consequence as there is no chance of losing those states.

The election will be about what matters to voters in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia.

Kamala's laugh really bothers Trump. The magician, Penn Gillette from Penn and Teller, who appeared on a season of Celebrity Apprentice, noted that he never saw Trump laugh sincerely.

It's another one of those things which hurts him a bit because while Kamala might laugh a bit too much, it keeps a lighter image in contrast to Trump who comes across as kind of deadpan and serious in addition to old and weird.

It seems all Harris has to do is sue Fox for something (per trumps reasoning…).

Trump wanting to move the debate to Fox News would indicate to me that he or his campaign feel that the advantage is slipping at an uncomfortable rate, and want a very partisan environment for a showdown.

However, the last time Trump did a debate at Fox, it didn't go so well as the moderator, Chris Wallace, called it down the middle, leaving Trump furious.

I think that they should go head to head at least once, but with Fox News and their current roster of anchors, I'm struggling to find one who could still be considered neutral and would ask tough questions of both candidates.

This piece, written shortly after Wallace's departure, ranks Geraldo Rivera as the most neutral (or 'least despicable', rather) host on the network at the time of the article's writing. Though some of that seems to stem from his penchant for contrary argument with other Fox News hosts as opposed to being an even-handed newsman of the old Walter Cronkite mould.

So is this is how it's going to go down?

Of course it will be Fox News, Trump can only win by cheating.

If Trump agrees to terms on mic mutes and so on, he won't be able to rant for five minutes. Trump didn't seem unhappy with the mic mute rule on CNN, so there is no credible reason why he should reject it now.

Besides, the last thing Trump's team want is him ranting off-script, especially in the scenario where Kamala winds him up. Far too much chance of blurting something out that costs him another percentage point in crucial swing states.

Another thing from that NABJ interview that went kind of unnoticed - Trump says 'Kamala' correctly. I like how there was the awareness to do that, but not the awareness not to lay into her about her mixed race background. The former was probably campaign team advice, knowing he'd be pulled up on saying, 'Ka-*mah*-la' like usual, but the latter was just a Trump original that left staffers watching through barely separated fingers.

All thats been said is rules will be similar, no mention of mutes on mics.

If Harris accepts this, without changing any of the conditions, it would paint her as incredibly weak.

It's beyond the beyond that the Republicans did this. I hope to God that Kamal keeps the ABC Slot open and empty chairs Trump.

And also, her campaign should sue Fox and the Trump campaign if they actually agreed to a debate with no input from the Harris team and then publicised it like she was in agreement.

Feels like the cultural ground has shifted a bit since Trump first came to political prominence in 2016. As Harris has herself said, 'the same old story' with Trump, who has no new angle or new rhetoric to push. He'd be the most beatable of any Republican candidate if the Democrats hadn't been so set in getting in their own way by first getting behind the never-very-popular Hillary Clinton, who acted as if the presidency was her birthright and now to Joe Biden, who was clearly too frail for the campaign trail.

Even with Harris, they're probably doing about the bare minimum they can get away with in order to possibly beat Trump. If they had candidates in the wings who really got the youth vote excited, it would barely even be a contest.

There won't be one, especially before the 10th September. It'll be an interview with Trump. Guarantee it.
