Debate between Harris and Trump is 'absolutely to her advantage'

The debates need to be fact checked absolutely!

[EfiLiveLB]

No audience, shut off mics and fact check, please. No podium, free standing.

[Joy-zj]

It's gonna be an epic debate!
Can hardly wait to hear her say, "I'm speaking"

[Alaska_Gal]

I’ve gotta admit…it’s been hilarious and OH SO SATISFYING watching Donald Chump freak out.

[crash]

Real time Fact checking is a must in a debate with Trump!

[kevindelaney]

Ok… this one I will watch. I have faith that Trump will further damage himself.

[bobbybubby]

No way is she going to agree to that Fox debate and especially make it the first debate. There’s a reason he wants Fox first, and she’s not going to fall into that trap.

[dianne]

She won't get suckered into doing the FOX debate first. The agreed upon ABC debate should be first and then line up the additional ones. ALL should have no audiences, mic cut-off, fact check in real time.

[puresugah]

I’m sick of the media saying Trump “agreed” to additional debates. He is just throwing crap at the wall. Harris is the VP, she calls the shots.

*Trump's obvious plan:*
*1.* Get Kamala to agree to the September 4th debate
*2.* Try to crush her on that FOX debate with help from his crowd and the FOX "moderator"
*3.* Back out of the 10th debate
*4.* Never intended to do the NBC debate

You _know_ this to be true. Let's hope she sticks to her guns on only starting with that ABC debate.

Tim Ryan should be in the US senate right now. Can't believe he lost to a guy who is sofa king weird.

[TheCyberserf]

We need LIVE FACT CHECKING in all debates, because Orange Caligula is incapable of telling the truth about anything.

[urbanexplorer]

i cant believe its 2024 and trump is still in the picture .

[chrisjames]

Fact checking needs to happen early and often with Donnie. Yesterday he claimed to have been in a helicopter crash with Willie Brown.

[tedvandell]

Donnie doesn't debate, he bloviates. Harris is a prosecutor, she should encourage him and get him to say incriminating things

[done.]

There should be ZERO AUDIENCE, except in separate areas. They cannot see the audience. They cannot hear them---Those selected to ask questions are brought in, ask their question, and leave. This isn't a rally. It should be a COURTROOM.

September 9th headliine: "Trump hospitalized for tongue-spurs"

[elizabethohalloran]

Harris/Walz…Bring it on!…you are our dream team!👍💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[trappinout]

Get your popcorn ready. Lets see lots of debates with both parties live uncut.

[KardashevIII]

My vote is for Kamala and the Coach, not the Criminal and the Couch Potato.
