Trump opts out of ABC debate

[NorthernHawkeye]

Trump bailed on all the primary debates. He's bailed on the Harris debate. The only time he manned up was against a frail 80 year old. It's ok to admit that he's scared of debating anybody who doesn't look like a corpse.

Why did your party put forward a "frail 80 year old man"?

 

[Huey Grey]

How else do you want me to say it? I don't like the team red vs blue shit hut here we are. We are so far from being able to actually discuss policy at this point it's all a high speed scroll of my guy good your guy bad and vice versa.

Is "humiliated" fair? Your preferred candidate was so humiliated he dropped out?

Absolutely Biden was humiliated. And the same would happen to Trump. He wants no piece of Harris.

Why did your party put forward a "frail 80 year old man"?

Cuz he trounced the other old guy in 2020.

LOL. Iowa didn't drop their football program.

Neither has ISU. Both schools have teams. If Iowa fired Kirk and named Phil interim coach would your logic mean ISU could refuse to play the game as scheduled?

 

[lucas80]

Nice to see the board gimp relishing his abuse again tonight.

LOL. Iowa didn't drop their football program.

And the Democrats didn't drop their bid for the Presidency, they just changed quarterbacks.

Here is a comparable example. Iowa and ISU agreed to meet on 9/7 at Kinnick to play a football game. If Matt Campbell announced that if Iowa doesn’t show up at Jack Trice on 9/1 and play in front of a stadium filled with only ISU fans, and officiated by former ISU players, then he’s the winner and Iowa is afraid to play them.
This is Northern’s argument.

Matt Campbell wanting the game officiated by former ISU players? That sounds similar to the left wanting the debate moderated by ABC.

Why did your party put forward a "frail 80 year old man"?

Why did your party put forth a “morbidly obese 78 year old man who uses adult diapers”. That’s the real question. The Democrats in the end will officially nominate a GenX woman as the face of our party.

 

[CRazzle]

Why is he still president then?

 

[Torg]

Why did your party put forward a "frail 80 year old man"?

Because Biden was our presumed candidate.

Trump is only willing to debate a “frail 80 year old man”. Such a coward.

 

[LunchBox50]

He's going to be the most unhappy person in Iowa if a DAMN WOMAN is elected president

She wouldn't be running if her husband would have done his job and kept her down.

I spit out my water and peed a little bit laughing at this response.

 

[McLovin32]

Don't make me laugh.

Just because you don’t like my answer doesn’t mean it’s not a rational explanation. Better luck next time, champ.

Guys, he just beat your #1 pick so God damn bad the guy dropped out, on your guys terms. He doesn't owe you shit. If you are upset you are going to have to win a match on the road be pissed at your leaders for putting out such a shitty product not for us not being willing to always pander to your stupidity.


If the JV( Kamala) wants a shot at our guy, your going to come play us.




- From previous thread on exact same subject.

This isn’t team f*cking sports. This is the presidency. Trump is proposing a debate in a forum that is anything but fair. If we want to choose the best of these two candidates the people deserve an unbiased venue with rules agreed to by both candidates.

Trump previously agreed to unbiased rules, venue, network and only proposed a biased set of these after his opponent was swapped for a stronger one. Seems like a chicken shit move to me.

 

[FlickShagwell]

Trump is a massive pussy and his supporters are weird.

 

[thewop]

Did Biden still want to debate him? Weird he'd be expected to show up to a debate that wasn't going to happen.
