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

I think it would have been pretty boring. Trump would have continued being Trump, Kamala would give generic calculated speeches about freedom and democracy, fans of each team would insist their candidate scored an epic win, etc. Like 2016 but without the novelty.

In terms of rhetoric I agree it would be lame, but I think the visual of Kamala standing next to Trump would be a pretty significant yardstick for people to see how far Trump has fallen off compared to 2016.
