To the editor: Former President Trump is correct that the agreed-upon debate is meant to be between him and President Biden, not Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee. (“Trump pulls out of scheduled debate with Harris, saying he needs to face off on Fox Information,” Aug. 3)
So, Biden ought to arrive on Sept. 10 able to debate Trump on ABC, however Harris must be close by. When Biden speaks, as an alternative of answering the query, he ought to say the identical factor each time:
“That is ridiculous! I do know our settlement is to debate one another, however I’m retiring in 4 months. Kamala took my place, and she or he ought to achieve this now. How about it, Donald? Let’s carry her out right here.”
I do know I’m playing around, however it’s not as foolish as having Trump run for president 3 times.

To the editor: We already knew that Trump was a bully, liar and convicted felon. Now we will add to the listing that he’s additionally a coward afraid to face a youthful, feminine candidate he can’t bully.
With out his MAGA followers cheering him on and believing each lie he tells, he places his tail between his legs and desires to scoot again to Fox Information, the place they are going to nod to every little thing he says.
I’ve but to listen to him discuss what his insurance policies could be aside from to put in individuals loyal solely to him and never the residents or the Structure in each place of presidency. Is that this the kind of particular person we would like in energy as president?

To the editor: Trump is clearly operating scared, however he might have some extent {that a} debate on ABC, an entity with whom he has pending litigation, might current a “battle of curiosity.”
For her half, Harris is aware of that proposing a debate on Fox Information — with its conservative skew and screaming stay viewers — is a web page proper out of the Trump playbook.
Since neutrality appears to be a difficulty, I suggest that the talk be moderated by the British Broadcasting Corp., or BBC. Definitely the previous president has no beef with the BBC, does he?
And, if Trump insists on a stay viewers, I’d be way more comfy with the BBC selecting attendees than Fox Information.

To the editor: Harris ought to completely refuse Trump’s provide to debate on Fox.
As a substitute, she ought to suggest they maintain it on the courthouse steps in New York when he’s sentenced on his 34 felony counts. When requested about his abrupt cancellation, a becoming reply could be, “It’s legal.”
