It breaks my heart that so many people have been so misinformed for so long and have been driven to such hate and divisiveness. They need truth, love and inclusion because they don't really have it

Bring it on the ratings world wide would be huge.

Be very afraid!!! Orange one! Her vocabulary is beyond yours to comprehend 🇺🇸bigly!

People are sick of identity politics and race baiters ...

The Conservative's "strong man" won't even debate a woman. How impotent and sad.

Possible, when a great WOMAN leads a nation, there will be economic and social IMPROVEMENTS ❤❤❤ 🙂

Do you want to know what I notice a lot of the Trump supporters comments are disappearing😂😂😂

[lisal]

Some are reporting that Trump may be sentenced on the Bragg case, mid September!!!

It’s crazy how much of a joke “news” networks have become

400 million people in the U.S. and she's our nominee? This is the best we can do? Are you kidding? She sounds tranquilized and disappears for months on end. I believe in hiring for DEI's sake, but she couldn't get 1% of the vote when she ran last time.

The future is starting to look so much brighter. Go Team Blue 💙💙💙. The Clown is going down in 2024.

If you think tRUMP is worried and scared of debating Kamala Harris. Imagine the pressure his diaper is going through?

[rick]

Voting for kamela after getting rid of joe is like changing your shirt after you 💩 your pants

[EducatingDims]

Whats weak is trying to debate the Republican Presidential nominee before becoming the Democratic Presidential nominee. That is like waiting until the police show up to come out and say you are ready to fight...😆😆🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[J-Production]

A strong political leader should be able to adapt to any situation, especially a debate.

[CrabMeatElite]

Good Lord, why did I even bother clicking on this dumpster fire of a news program?

[thomascaldwell]

Flip-flops are for around-the-pool, not everything you say and do, Donnie.
🇺🇸💜🇺🇸💙🇺🇸

[jessicamoore]

I am so filled with hope! Harris has my vote 150%!

[thed]

So much for "anytime, anywhere, any place"

[joerogain]

Why did the chicken cross the street?

To avoid debating Kamala Harris.
