Let’s talk about the upcoming debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and boy, are things getting spicy! ABC News has set the rules for the debate, and there’s already controversy brewing. Harris agreed to the rules, but not without pushing back. Now, if you think she’s playing fair, you might want to reconsider because her campaign is demanding some “assurances” that make it seem like they’re rigging this debate in her favor. Let’s break it down.
First, there’s the microphone muting rule. Now, at first glance, it might seem like a good idea to stop the candidates from talking over each other. But the Harris campaign fought this rule, hard. They wanted the mics turned on during the debate so the audience could hear every word even if the candidates are talking at the same time. Why would Harris want that? Well, as a former prosecutor, she’s used to dominating a room, and it seems like she wants to silence Trump with some clever cross-talk. Huh, sneaky, right?
Let’s not forget that ABC News has reportedly given her assurances that if there’s too much back-and-forth, they’ll turn on the mics so everyone can hear the exchange. So, it’s clear: Harris wants the chance to drown out Trump while looking like she’s still following the rules. Meanwhile, Trump’s hands are tied because the minute he raises his voice, it’ll look like he’s interrupting. Ain’t that obvious? This smells like an unfair advantage, doesn’t it?
Second, there’s the claim that Harris is “fundamentally disadvantaged” by this debate format. The campaign is acting like she’s some kind of underdog when we all know she’s anything but. If anything, Trump is the one at a disadvantage. Think about it: Harris is complaining that the mute rule shields Trump from direct exchanges, but it’s pretty clear she’s worried about him calling her out on her policies and record. 67% of Americans polled last month said they think Trump is the better debater. If Harris is so confident in her ability to debate, why is she trying so hard to change the rules at the last minute?
Finally, let’s talk about the media bias that’s blatantly helping Harris. ABC News claims they’re just the referee, but with all these secret “assurances,” it’s hard not to see how they’re tipping the scale in Harris’ favor. By controlling the microphones and using moderators to explain what’s being said when the mics are muted, they’re setting the stage for Harris to look calm and collected, while Trump comes across as the aggressor. Isn’t it funny how the media’s always quick to “explain” things when it benefits the left? But when Trump’s side has something to say, suddenly it’s radio silence.
If you think this is just paranoia, consider this: ABC’s audience numbers have shown that nearly 55% of their viewers lean liberal, and when the majority of your viewers agree with one side, wouldn’t you do everything you can to keep them happy? It’s no surprise that Trump’s team called out Harris for trying to get an “escape hatch”. They know the game is rigged. Trump even agreed to debate weeks ago, but Harris keeps moving the goalposts and playing victim.
In conclusion, it’s crystal clear that Kamala Harris is gaming the system to ensure this debate goes her way. She’s using debate rules, media bias, and underhanded tactics to stack the deck against Trump. But one thing’s for sure: America isn’t fooled. We see what’s happening, and we’ll be watching closely. Let’s hope Trump gets the chance to show us the truth, without being silenced by a mute button.
