Former President Donald Trump has begun to shut down the possibility of a second match against Vice President Kamala Harris after debating her Tuesday night.
There’s no point in debating a pathological liar, especially when a large portion of voters are easily duped and fact checking in real time is sub par and depending on the network, completely nonexistent.
It just acts as a free misinformation/propaganda mass dissemination tool
Was just about to comment this too. They just believe it without a single bit of doubt. They're a lost cause. There is no way you can deradicalize these fuckers.
The ideal situation would be for Harris to offer another debate, then for Trump to decline, then for Harris to spend the rest of the campaign taunting Trump for his cowardice. If Trump decides to actually do the debate instead it'll probably end up being a bit of a waste of time, but that would be an acceptable risk.
There are people who are definitely going to go out and vote for Harris. There are people who are definitely going to go out and vote for Trump.
The debate isn't for these people. It's for the people who are shockingly on the fence about who to vote for, and those who may not vote at all.
The more you get trump on screen being easily manipulated by Harris, the more you make him look weak which will make some of his less ardent supporters less likely to vote, while also convincing others then Harris is the more sane choice.
He'll only commit if it's on fox "news" or oann, he gets all his softball questions in advance, and the moderators are his devoted allies who will cut her off at every opportunity
While I'd love to see Kamala wipe the floor with him again, I don't think another debate is necessary. At this point Trump's supporters are conditioned to just believe anything he says regardless of accuracy. Not a great idea to give dude more of a platform than he already has.
For me, the number one reason to want another debate is just to give him more chances to out himself as an absolute buffoon.
