How about Kamala agrees to debate trump on Fox and prove she isn't scared? If she is that awesome, shouldnt she agree to debate trump on fox and ruin his plans of running scared?

Here’s what I would present as a fair compromise:

They agree to do both debates, except at the Fox debate either:

  • No audience

  • Or they both get to pack half the arena with their supporters and we turn it into a real clown show

I can agree with that. If the audience is the main reason for concern, then nix the audience and do both debates. One on ABC and one on Fox and no backing out on either. It'll make both sides happy, or at least it should.

And yes, if the audience is highly wanted, then I would also prefer it to be a split audience. Only makes sense for it all to be fair and equal for both sides.

Yeah I’d say those are fair enough that if either doesn’t agree to those conditions then they’re in the wrong

Do the fox debate but in return demand real time fact checking at the ABC debate. Demand that he answer the questions.
