Pelosi admits to what most Democrats are thinking...

Please Joe, don't embarrass yourself by agreeing to debate Trump!

While Dementia Joe pushed back against Pelosi's argument that he shouldn't debate Trump, the reality is that Pelosi is not the only Democrat and certainly not the only liberal to suggest that Biden not engage Trump in any live debates.

Many others have suggested an alternative format to the debates (such as the questions being provided prior to the debate and the two candidates providing prepared answers in a virtual debate setting) or even just allowing the Candidates to prerecord fodder to air in-lieu-of an actual debate. 

While Biden certainly cannot personally appear afraid to debate Trump (that would be a huge problem for a lot of Americans already questioning hid cognitive ability), whether or not Biden ever actually takes the stage with Trump will be a whole other question. Even when there is not any traditional worries about a debate, the candidate who appears to be ahead is generally going to be reluctant to take any chances and generally will attempt to limit the scope and amount of the debates. 

Much of the conventional wisdom is that Biden may continue to demand that he debate Trump in a traditional sense while other surrogates do everything in their power to make sure that never happens. I will believe that Biden wants to debate Trump the day he steps on the stage with Trump and actually does it.

KAMALA HARRIS EVISCERATED DONALD TRUMP IN A SHORT SPEECH TODAY.

She pillored him up one side and down the other. She really threw down the gauntlet. Not to respond tonight will also cause difficulty for him.

It has been reported that Trump responded with white hot fury to Harris' speech at the Democratic Convention. You can bet he's seething right now.

When it comes to VP attack dogs, Kamala sure beats the pants off Pence:

Vice President Mike Pence’s speech at the Republican convention had 10.5 million viewers across the major broadcast networks and three big cable news networks, Nielsen reports.

That represents a significant drop compared to when vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris drew 16.2 million viewers for her speech.

Bloomberg: Pence delivers the smallest audience of GOP’s convention so far.


Harris Rips Trump Over Handling of Pandemic

All three cable news networks carried a speech by Sen. Kamala Harris live in which she laced into President Trump as a failure on the coronavirus pandemic ahead of his convention speech tonight.

Said Harris: “Donald Trump froze. He was scared. And he was petty and vindictive.”

Biden Confirms He’ll Debate Trump
Joe Biden rejected Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s suggestion that he not “legitimize a conversation” with President Trump by debating him, MSNBC reports.

Said Biden: “I’m gonna debate him. I’m gonna be a fact-checker on the floor while I’m debating him.”

AXIOS:
Kamala Harris: The RNC is designed "to soothe Donald Trump's ego"

Sen. Kamala Harris excoriated President Trump in a speech pre-butting the final night of the GOP convention, accusing him and his Republican allies of ignoring "the reality" of an America facing crises of racial injustice, public health and economic despair.

Why it matters:
Harris said throughout her presidential run — and again during her Democratic National Convention speech — that her goal is to "prosecute" the case against the Trump presidency.

She made that case on Thursday by relentlessly attacking Trump and the Republicans for spending little time during their convention on the coronavirus pandemic.

What she's saying:

"Unlike the Democratic convention, which was very clear-eyed about the challenges we are facing and how we will tackle them, the Republican convention is designed for one purpose: to soothe Donald Trump's ego," Harris said.

"We know the truth: Donald Trump has failed at the most basic and important job of a president of the United States. He failed to protect the American people. Plain and simple.

"Here's what you have to understand about the nature of a pandemic, it's relentless. You can't stop it with a tweet. You can't create a distraction and hope it will go away. It doesn't go away.

"By its nature, a pandemic is unforgiving. If you get it wrong at the beginning, the consequences are catastrophic. It's very hard to catch up. You don't get a second chance at getting it right.

"Well, President Trump, he got it wrong from the beginning and then he got it wrong again and again."

The bottom line:
"Donald Trump stood idly by and, folks, it was a deadly decision," Harris said. "Instead of rising to meet the most difficult moment of his presidency, Donald Trump froze. He was scared and he was petty and vindictive."
