22 September—Shortly after the 10 September Harris-Trump pseudo-debate show, which Trump clearly lost in every way you can think of, he boasted that he wouldn’t participate in another debate because only a losing boxer requests a rematch. (So, in case you didn’t get the implication, obviously Kamala was the loser. And Trump never loses anyway. Even when he loses.) And yesterday, after undefeated pseudo-debate show champ Kamala Harris accepted CNN’s invitation for a rematch, Trump again chickened out, this time claiming it was “too late,” too close to the election.

While far-too-early voting already has in fact begun in some mismanaged states, that’s no reason for Trump not to do another show with Kamala that’s guaranteed to attract tens of millions of curious viewers. It doesn’t matter that nothing will sway most voters from their preconceived preferences.

But nobody tells dictators what to do with any expectation the dictators will even consider the advice. And the intrepid advisors invariably put their lives at risk. A Trump-Hitler analogy comes to mind, but we’ll leave it there.

Back to Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, then, when you consider this picture, can it be possible they’re not really all that antagonistic to one another? So why not do another Kamala-Donald Show?
