He should agree so long as it’s pre-convention. To give them time to swap out again…

Trump wants FOX.

No surprise. In the interest of "Fair and Balanced," the Democrats should allow it. After all, Trump "debated" Biden on CNN with Tapper and Bash.

George, do you think that the first debate was bias one side or the other?

(I did not see or listen to it, only clips)

I was surprised at how fair it was. I think the pre-agreed rules had a lot to do with it - though I would have enjoyed a "shock collar" a lot more.

LOL. Good point. Either time one of them tells a false statement, a big "X" should appear in front of them. After three "X's".................

Someone suggested a trap door, but that might end the debate prematurely.

Trump, even if he wins the debate in terms of content, will come off looking like a bully, or misogynistic, of racist, but man it would be fun to watch. But very risky for Trump…in addition to the above, he will look older, more petty, and the talking heads afterwards will adore Kamala because well, anyone looks better compared to Biden.

I agree with President Trump on this.

The campaigns sparred over whether the candidates' microphones should be muted during the Sept. 10 debate when they are not speaking, as was the case during the June debate between President Biden and Trump.

Harris, who ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket last month after Biden dropped out, believes "both candidates' mics should be live throughout the full broadcast," Brian Fallon, Harris campaign's senior advisor for communications, said in a statement on Monday.

"Our understanding is that Trump's handlers prefer the muted microphone because they don't think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own," Fallon said.

The other side: Trump said during a campaign stop in Virginia on Monday that whether the microphones were muted did not matter to him, but that "we agreed to the same rules" as the last debate.

"Enough with the games. We accepted the ABC debate under the exact same terms as the CNN debate," Jason Miller, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said in a statement.

They agreed on the rules, now Kamrade Kamala wants to change the rules.

The woman is nuts. She got the venue she wanted ...Trump is walking into a two or three on one. And she still ain't satisfied...

[George K]

So, why did Harris want to bail?

[taiwan_girl]

If the allow unmuted microphones, I am feared that it will be like the 2020 debates.

(But, I do have to admit, I did not see them at all. Probably a good thing!!! LOL)

No, I like the muted mikes. None of them can control themselves.

Agreed. Only trap-doors or shock collars would be better.

[Mik]

I’ve always liked the shock collar idea.

[LuFins Dad]

And they are both used to wearing them. Bonus!

@LuFins-Dad that’s actually not as far fetched as you might think.
