Not that this even needs to be said, but we all know why this is.

Trump needs his safe space. Trum needs Fox News moderators to throw him softball questions while trying to hang Gotcha questions around Harris' neck. He needs the moderators to let him speak uninterrupted while cutting off Harris. He needs an audience full of cult members to tell him how great he is and how clever he is every time he speaks, acting like his own personal laugh track.

If he doesn't get that reaction, he falls apart. He literally does not know what to do if there's nobody there telling him how great he is. So he does what he always does when he's not getting the reaction he wants. He doubles down on the hate. Repeatedly if necessary. And once he finds what works, he exploits it to ridiculous degrees. The problem is that doubling down on nothing still gets you nothing. So all Trump has is trying to double down again and again, wondering why he perpetually gets nothing. The NABJ interview is a shining example of this.

If he doesn't have FOX news viewers cheering him on, if he doesn't have the entire channel carefully editing what he says, if he's asked anything other than pre-selected softball questions, then even he knows all he's got left is having to stand on his word and defend his past actions, and even Trump knows there's no chance in hell that'll happen. It's why he routinely disavows any references to his own former statements, even when he's shown the footage of him saying it.

Trump knows he cannot win a legitimate debate. He can't even win a debate with his thumb on the scale. He has to have his entire fat orange ass sitting on it eating a hamberder and drinking a cofeve to even have a chance. Why else do you think he wants it on his home turf, with his moderators, in front of his audience, on what is essentially his network? Because he knows that he has to have his fat orange ass on the scale, knows even that is probably not going to be enough, so he's basically shouting to his base "All aboard!!" in hopes they'll join him.

“Felon Republican nominee refused any debate not held on one very specific network, known to fund republicans”

hmmmmmm

"Any time, anywhere", except it has to be over there and at that particular time.

Harris is going to eat him alive no matter the venue.

ABC should give her the hour!

You have to do the one you already agreed to first, old man.

She should not take this bait. Giving Trump the incredibly biased home field advantage this would lead to is not going to be worth it. Pro Trump crowd plus biased moderators will make her look terrible, no matter how good a debater she is. I'm not even sure the ABC moderators will be good enough, but they'll be a long shot better than Fox and he already agreed to it. Hold him to it.

"Snowflake demands safe space for interview for biggest job in the country"

Fox News = Trump’s special blankie.

I don’t care whether she debates Trump or not. I just don’t want to see her give in to him.

Fox should be stripped of the trademark "News" and should be forced to be called Fox Entertainment. It wouldn't change anything but I'd feel better

🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔

She should agree and then ignore every question just to attack the network and their relationship with Trump.

Just read transcripts from depositions where they call Fox entertainment and their viewers idiots.

Read their stolen election collusion discovery and who was part of the Jan 6th insurrection.

Read that "perfect phonecall" over and over and over and ask what Trump meant by "finding" those extra votes

Edit: Whoopsie-doodle, I forgot my "/s"

His word is his bond.

24 hour marathon call-in debate on cspan, let's go

Well she can add 'coward' to 'felon', then.

Her campaign already swatted them down perfectly.

whatever you need to feel safe, bitch boy
