I wonder if there’s anything that might spur him to debate.

Trump drops out, kamala gets to call him a coward and she has a platform for herself to discuss policy.

I can't imagine a better set of circumstances.

I actually vehemently disagree, here. Remember in 2020 when Biden said, "Will you shut up, man?" It utterly destroyed Trump in one sentence, because it simultaneously revealed him to be a petulant idiot and forced him to actually shut up or prove Biden right about him. Biden won that debate in that moment, without question.

I think Harris sees opportunity in letting Trump be as thoroughly Trump-ish as he wants to be, but with a prosecutor on stage his only audience, rather than a crowd of sycophants.

Trump's schtick only works when left unchallenged.

Any moderators are just going to be mocked, ridiculed, and ignored.

This is what I don't understand because it seems pretty simple to me. If he lies, the moderators step in and correct the record. If he talks over them or Harris, his mic is cut. If he keeps doing it, his time is given to Harris. If he still persists, he's asked to leave.

The moderators have all been spineless cowards, agreed. My point is that it's time to find some who aren't.

Yeah, but unfortunately we’re not going to find that in this election cycle.

Why not?
