I feel like this is a smart move by Donald because we’re still in this fugue state where we’re almost certain Kamala is the nominee but we’re not even sure, and the DNC is literally 3 weeks away with the actual election fast approaching lmao. Nobody has seen Kamala on the campaign trail, people barely know her and the debate would be giving her added publicity.

On the other hand it might be a good thing for her, noone knows her so she’s just some generic Dem candidate vs bigbad baby that you can just VoteBlue for

The weirdest thing about Kamala is that in the context of like, cross examining (see her in Senate hearings for examples of this) she's pretty competent, she stays on topic, she sounds normal and good at her job. When she's talking off the cuff she sounds like a crazy person. I remember her dunking on Biden pretty hard in the 2020 debates, so maybe she would be able to bring that kind of cross-examining lawyer vibe to a Trump debate. She could also just lose the plot entirely and laugh awkwardly while avoiding direct questions.

She just needs to imagine Donnie is a poor black woman whose child skipped school, and then the killer instincts will kick in

Well some of his kids definitely skipped school

I’m don’t know that this the real offence in the eyes of the law

To the blue MAGA crowd, skipping school is literally worse than bombing one.

Uvalde cops would have been there faster if someone said a kid was truant instead of that there was an active shooter

Kamala in the first debate absolutely embarrassed Biden, so bad that he still hasn’t forgiven her for it. Subsequent debates she seemed different, and was nowhere near as compelling.

I’m really hoping to see more of Kamala from the first debate in this election cycle. So far it’s looking pretty good.
