All joking aside, you have to assume they're going to challenge her candidacy and eventual legitimacy in court. Debating her is not only politically ill advised, but also a tacit agreement that she's a legitimate candidate.
She's been vice president for the past 4 years, so she already meets the legal requirements for office, and Republicans haven't ever challenged it.
The DNC is next month, and the party has every right to make her the nominee if Biden isn't running for reelection.
I don't see any actual legal battle here. There's absolutely zero legal precedent for blocking a party nomination before the convention or any of the relevant state deadlines pass.
They're just running their mouths about this switch-up being improper because they're panicking. They spent the last 4 years priming their base to care about one thing and one thing only: getting rid of the "Biden Crime Family". Now that it's down to the wire, Biden isn't their opponent anymore.
They're in the bargaining stage of grief, since Trump's chances of winning have pretty much been killed, especially after introducing professional wet blanket J.D. Vance as Trump's running mate.
When has Precedent mattered to Robert's Extreme Court?
Exactly. Just because they don't have a legitimate argument doesn't mean they don't have an argument.
Felon, pedophile, rapist, coward.
There are so many ways to describe this man
Orange.
At least he admits he isn't in the same class as her.
Even if Trump says no, Harris should at the very least discuss her opinions and views on camera. It could just be a single person question and answering, a debate other Democrats, or debating a third party candidtae if they don't want to back other Democrat candidates. Leaving Harris a mystery is the worst thing Democrats can do.
Leaving Harris a mystery is the worst thing Democrats can do.
This is half the reason he doesn't want to do it.
The other half is that "man yelling at clouds* might beat "well meaning elderly man with a poor memory" but doesn't stand a chance against anyone who can consistently string three sentences together in a coherent fashion.
Having the debate would both make Trump look bad and make Harris less of a mystery and neither of those things helps Trump.
Harris is a beast when she debates, too. She would mop the floor with that orange clown. Trump will simply refuse to debate her.
This is half the reason he doesn’t want to do it.
I really hope the democrats take full advantage of spinning that as yet another anti-democratic Trump move.. that it’s anti-democratic to impede informed voting.
She should %100 debate RFK. No one voting for her is going to magically jump to him.....but people who voting trump might jump to voting RFK...plus she can show how scared the turnip is of debating someone who is semi competent
Why are we giving a man who had a brain worm and believes that Wi-Fi gives you cancer a platform?
This man was trying to be a spoiler for the Democratic party, extremely unsuccessfully. He does not have hopes of being president he has hopes of swaying moderates away from the left.
He is a brain dead Trump cultist. He never wanted to win.
100% also call out how RFK is not a coward for debating Harris.
Usually insane people are not cowards.
Do you believe that Wi-Fi gives you cancer? RFK adamantly argues this (while being around Wi-Fi constantly)
The guy had a literal brain worm that permanently altered him. It is disgusting that we're parading is mentally ill man around as a spoiler for a political race
Just leave him alone and let him inject steroids in peace
This! Do the debate whether he shows up or not. It will expose him for being a massive pussy
I know it's hard to believe sometimes but people are slowly realizing what he is. All of my Trumper family are now apolitical all of a sudden lol
Works for me!
pussies are tough. he's a ballsack: quite sensitive, shrivels up in cold weather, and prone to premature ejaculation
