The current election cycle might just be the circus of the century, bringing everything from questionable tactics to downright bizarre scenarios. The debates, or as they might be more aptly termed: a performance art piece in political posturing, have already stirred a pot that was already boiling over with tension. The Democrats, whether it’s Joe Biden mumbling through his rehearsed lines or Kamala Harris switching from laughing to serious in a matter of seconds, are making it clear: they know they’re in over their heads against the likes of Donald Trump.
JD Vance, a keen observer of the political landscape, claims the Democrats’ apparent fear of real debates stems from the stark realization that Trump has them outclassed. Time and time again, they’ve attempted to pull off dirty tricks; perhaps it’s their way of admitting that a fair and square match would lead to a knockout victory for the Donald. This isn’t just about winning; it’s about survival, and apparently, they’re not quite ready for a fair fight.
JD Vance says Harris scared to debate because she's 'bad' unscripted – Conservative Institute https://t.co/mkLB1CW9RC

When the Democrats finally decided to hold some debates with the frail figure of Biden, the game was rigged from the start. Biden came armed not just with his typical confusion but a laundry list of unreasonable demands. It seems he wanted to be carried through the debate, as Trump reluctantly agreed to let Biden control the terms — no live audiences, controlled microphones, and debates held exclusively on liberal networks. The fix was in from the beginning. But anyone who tuned in would have seen that even with all this help, Biden was like a deer in headlights, floundering against Trump’s vigorous style.
And just when the Democrats thought they were off the hook after the Biden debates, they were blindsided. Kamala Harris stepped up to fill the role, believing she would receive the same cushy treatment. Trump, however, wasn’t going to hand her a loaded deck. Vance asserts that this immediate pivot from President Trump shows he recognizes what’s happening in Democrat-land: they’re trying to overthrow standard procedure while making it look legitimate. If Harris thought she was getting an easy ride to the podium, she clearly underestimated the Trump campaign’s resolve.
Kamala Harris soon found herself facing the truth — she isn’t quite ready for a no-holds-barred showdown. Vance pointed out that she is not the kind of candidate who shines unscripted. The speculation is rife that Harris has been adamant about wanting to debate Trump, claiming he’s scared, but what the real question reveals is that she might be the one running scared. The prospect of engaging with an animated audience is a nightmare for a candidate who thrives when tightly bound by scripts and teleprompters. Trump, on the other hand, thrives on connection, energy, and spontaneity — something the left would rather avoid at all costs. In the great battle of charisma and crowd engagement, Harris doesn’t stand a chance.
If the debates go forward, the stage is likely to be a very different one than Biden experienced. The dynamics will shift, and Trump’s ability to engage and lead will be put on full display, working entirely against Harris’s comfort zone of pre-cooked responses without any real interaction. One thing is certain: if Kamala Harris ducks out of a debate with the former president, it will speak volumes about her readiness to actually earn the title she’s seeking. Perhaps, in the end, it will be the Democrats crumbling under the pressure of an honest debate, much to the delight of the watching public.
