ABC Debate Rules Set

[toobfreak]

Not looking good for Kamala:

• Mics will be off while the other speaks.
• No opening statements.
• No fraternizing with campaign people during breaks.
• No notes or props allowed on stage.
• Trump gets to pick the podium seating.
• Trump gets to pick who goes last giving closing statements (and Trump chose to go last).

It's his to lose....FKH does not stand a chance as long as Trump sticks to policy.

Maybe he can get her to answer some real questions.

Get the popcorn this weekend...

I think Trump is a know quantity.
People know what they are getting

Kamala is introducing herself to the country
Hers to win or lose

Glad the mics are off. Neither candidate should be interrupting the other looking for that one-liner that goes viral. Both should state their policies and let the legal voting public decide.

If she has to answer anything off the cuff, she is toast.

 

[Blaster]

The only chance for Kamala is for the moderators to give her softball questions.

 

[Delldude]

News said Harris accepted the rules to keep Trump from backing out, and said this leaves Harris at a disadvantage.

Harris is at a disadvantage because she has to stick to the agreed upon rules? Please explain that.

That is her kryptonite. Everything with Trump is off the cuff, he ad libs for a living. Everything Harris is used to doing and preparing for is a strict, rote memorization, scripted patter--- when asked THIS, you say THAT, verbatim, a, b, c talking points. No originality or veering from the plan. That is hard to do and hard to remember when something unexpected happens or you get interrupted and things don't go your way. You start to lose your place, panic and sweat.

Trump will remain poised while Harris will show her impatience, intolerance and anger. She is used to being in court but she cannot control everything anymore.

Trump will get the same questions. And asked or not, you know Trump will bring up a few things even if the mods do not. Trump will nudge her off balance and Harris will do the rest.

Back out? Trump would have THREE debates with her if he could get her to show up for it!

Come on. Kamala's handlers are doing everything possible they can to keep her from introducing herself to the country.

If the country actually hears what this woman is, what she thinks, what she wants, what she is totally ignorant of, she loses.

That's why all the media, Google et al have removed as much as possible any quotes, policy positions, video, anything that could possibly make her look bad. That's why she is kept out of sight except in strictly scripted situations, is not allowed to take questions from reporters or anybody, why she won't be debating other than on ABC where it is almost certain she will or has gotten the debate questions in advance and every effort will be made to make her look better than she is.

Her reciting Trump policies as her own, directly contradicting everything she has said in the past, underscores how vacuous and intellectually dishonest she is.

Her campaign claim reported on the noon news.

My guess they're laying it out to blame Trump if she goes Biden.

 

[Mr Natural]

Damn! No open mics!

How are we going to know what Trump is babbling about while Harris is speaking?

 

[Delldude]

Damn! No open mics!

House are we going to know what Trump is babbling about while Harris is speaking?

Pretty sure no crowd and an empty studio won't stop Him. Don't think He's going to play that this time. We'll see.

I heard Harris wiped the floor with the blob.

Good show Madam VP.

Oh wait...they haven’t had it yet?

Meanwhile back in reality, your blob admitted he lost after 4 years of saying he won.

You seem to have missed that.

Should be interesting to watch if the moderators can keep the debate under control. My guess is it’s going to be another shit show. Not as bad as the Biden debate debacle, but still not good.
