      Even better, have a fact checker repeat a summarized version of Trump’s previous answers to similar questions and then explain why it was a lie.

        Or have it cut to the empty podium for 2 seconds, before they say “oh yeah, Donald Trump was too tired to attend today, too tired, very tired candidate…”

      They should ask the questions to both candidates, and just cut to an empty podium every time it’s Trump’s turn.

      “Mr. President, you have one minute to respond to the Vice President’s claims.”

      crickets

        They could just play random sound bites of him talking about electrocuting sharks and windmills causing cancer. It would be pretty much like the last debate.

    Back before the 2016 Conventions, Donnie challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie accepted and Trump had to run away from his own challenge. Worse, the event was supposed to raise money for charity…

    I think October 23rd would be an ideal date to organize anyone with a non-disclosure agreement with Trump to break that agreement en masse and share all the details of what he doesn’t want the public to know.

    It’s be great fodder for the news cycle leading up to Election Day and I doubt Trump has the resources to legally pursue so many people for NDA breaches at the same time.

      Just remember none of his supporters care. They know he lies, is a draft dodging coward, and a little bitch.

      It’s about motivating others to get out and vote.

    Out of curiosity why wouldn’t Harris just try to do it on Fox News in order to prove that even ABC wasn’t being “biased” like people claim

      A place that would have moderators willing to lie would be a rather risky place to do a debate. I’d imagine fox news could end up doing false “fact checks” on her and letting trump spew lies with impunity

      You don’t need someone like Sean Hannity moderating. Especially when you claim you won. The answer to that is OK, how about we do the thing you claim you won again?
