Maybe the calculation they are making here is that they know he will do exactly this, but since she is a woman, itll be received differently (and - Jovian Aug 26, 07:49 2
- Like Hillary? No. I have a feeling Harris can talk louder (and better) than him and knows *exactly* what she is doing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 08:27 1
  - Hillary was a special case though. - Jovian Aug 26, 08:31
Agreed, and backing out of the agreement makes them look petty and backpedalling on their word. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 26, 07:40 2
- to your IM - agreed. Let's not start mis stepping now -- nm - Epiphany Aug 26, 07:51 1
  - Triple agreeance. The only correct statement is she will be showing up ready to debate under the previously agreed upon parameters. -- nm - Dano Aug 26, 08:10
i think they're okay with that. apparently they want her ability to fact check him in real time, not wait until he's spewed lies for two minutes - mr mooch Aug 26, 06:56 9
- Its a mistake -- nm - Jovian Aug 26, 07:42 3
  - Objection! -- nm - Harris Aug 26, 08:05
  - Yup, and it allows Trump to change the rules if he wants to. -- nm - Inigo Aug 26, 08:00 1
    - he needs it more than she does at this point, and they know the more batshit insane he looks on the stage the better for her -- (link*) - mr mooch Aug 26, 08:02
- I see how they think it will work, it just won't work that way. He will lie, she will attempt to correct, he will talk over her facts and then - Epiphany Aug 26, 07:06 4
  - Correct, and his cult will eat it all up. And his sycophants all over radio and tv will call it a masterclass. -- nm - Jovian Aug 26, 07:43
  - I agree. He won't stop talking, ever. Anything she says will be drowned out. He can talk, then she can rebut, uninterrupted. Only way. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 07:08 2
    - she handled Pence like a boss. i'm not worried -- (link) - mr mooch Aug 26, 07:53 1
      - You cant possibly be comparing Pence with Trump? - Jovian Aug 26, 07:56
