He's reduced to only feinting and countering to avoid the hits he's been pummeled with over this summer. His campaign shows no indication of taking any initiative anymore, and looks to be spending all of its time reacting and trying to play catch-up (or play ketch-up, depending on the mood he's in and if his gourmet meal was original or extra-spicy).

Not only has his cheese slid off his cracker, his steam ain't even runnin' the loco.

Trump says he has agreed to offer from ABC News to debate Harris [View all] BumRushDaShow Aug 8 OP

I am listening to the conference right now. Trump mentioned 3 debates, LauraInLA Aug 8 #1

Ok, his campaign says he misspoke. First would come Fox on 9/4, then ABC on 9/10, LauraInLA Aug 8 #2

I still say she should refuse Fox. BlueKota Aug 8 #5

I agree, but I think then she'd also have to refuse NBC. Just stick to the original on ABC. LauraInLA Aug 8 #6

That would be best BlueKota Aug 8 #8
