Comment on Trump Agrees to a Fox News Debate With Harris on Sept. 4
_bcron@lemmy.world 1 month agoIt’s an emotionally stunted narcissist that loves to talk vs a prosecutor. He’ll go over time, Kamala will wave her hand a little as if it’s cool, she’ll get the mic and seek clarification, and when Trump is talking on her time the camera will pan over to her while she’s looking through it as if she’s on the Office while he spends 2 minutes trying to re-explain ‘Black Jobs’

Fox won’t do that to him. For every overtime ramble nothing would happen. They’d shorten Harris’ response times to make up for it “for the sake of time”. And of course no fact checking and lob up easy questions for him with hard convoluted questions for her and no overtime allowed. I wouldn’t put it beyond them to interrupt her mid answer or just switch to Trump when he does one of his interruption “tactics”.

Trump’s whole schtick is to latch onto a red herring and run off deep into left field with it and make that the focal point, but the thing is that he’s lately been doing that kind of thing in a really bizarre manner (Hannibal Lector? wtf), so the more he talks, the better for Kamala. He’s starting to push it so far it’s all falling off the table and instead of just alienating undecides he’s starting to alienate moderate supporters

Maybe but Fox’s whole thing has been to amplify “bad takes” and otherwise make unreasonable things sound good from the right wing while posing anything left wing and reasonable as sounding bad.

True, but at the same time his base has spent the past 5 years hyperfocusing on Biden’s age and gaffes. I even know a Trump voter that’s going for Kamala this time because she apparently looks like she’d be tougher on crime, and Vance wears makeup (lol). What a time to be alive
