Trump Should Refuse To Do Another Corrupt, Biased Debate
John Daniel Davidson

Tuesday night during the presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the fact-checks were flying, but only in one direction. As expected, ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were criminally biased, making the debate effectively three-on-one against Trump and practically amounting to an in-kind donation to the Harris campaign.

The lying and gaslighting were so brazen from Harris, and the “fact-checking” from Muir and Davis so lop-sided (they failed even once to push back or correct any of Harris’ obvious falsehoods), that the entire spectacle eventually took on an air of unreality. It was bizarre to see it happening live on the air. By the end, my main takeaway was that the purpose of these debates, besides the media’s obvious goal of boosting Harris and hurting Trump, is to confuse and demoralize the American people by distorting reality and flooding the internet with lies, making it impossible to know what’s true and what’s not.

At one point, Harris recited a litany of the most obvious, thoroughly debunked lies about Trump, from the “fine people on both sides” comment on Charlottesville, to the “bloodbath” remark about the auto industry, to claiming he “incited” the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Anyone can go online and check for themselves that these things are all hoaxes; they never happened. But the moderators said nothing.

Disagree, he just needs to learn from this and go in better prepared next time.

Trump and Rs should refuse to work with ABC. Further, they should insist that Moderators' microphones be muted during candidates' time for responding to questions, i.e. zero interruptions, "clarifications", or "fact-checking".

The damage has already been done.  Prepping is not going to do any good. It is the debate format that was utilized that hurt Trump.  They're not going to change that to benefit him or those thinking of voting for him.

He needs another debate in the format that was used with the debate between him and Biden.  It was a great format for him; it was fair and for the most part unbiased.  They aren't going to give that opportunity to Trump.

Trump would be very foolish to do another 'corrupt and biased debate'.

Perhaps at this point the best thing for Trump to do is perhaps run ads on her current record and emphasize it will be more of the same and worse.

Only agree to a "debate" on Fox News.

The entire ABC news organization needs to be taken down, and put in the trash bin.

Snuffynoffonous pretending to be a valid news guy is absurd by itself alone.

[Fishrrman]

No more debates.

They always end up like Charlie Brown/Lucy/football.
But most "Republicans" are stupid, and will keep trying anyway.

You either know for whom you'll be voting by now, or you don't.
Those who "don't" will probably split 60/40 for Trump/harris.

Harris will never agree to a debate on Fox News.  She'd actually have to answer some legitimate questions on issues that actually pertain to the problems that this country is facing.
