I certainly agree with what you've written. I will, however, take issue (a minor issue) with the NYT writers who you quoted stating that Trump "presented a counterproposal to Vice President Kamala Harris". Trump didn't issue a counterproposal, Trump issued a demand, an order. He wasn't negotiating, because he would never be seen as negotiating with anyone, but particularly a woman. I would also add that Trump, or at least his campaign, remember his debates with Hillary Clinton. Trump lost those debates and showed his hatred, misogyny and lack of command on the issues as Hillary stayed calm and spoke with authority and knowledge. He even tried to stalk her around the debate stage at one of the debates. Trump cannot deal with any woman who stands up to him.

Harris should absolutely not agree to the Fox "debate" and she absolutely should call out the Trump campaign for being too afraid to debate on the prior terms. It might also be nice to note along the way that there hasn't been a real "debate" - as in, a discussion of different policy positions among the candidates - since Obama/Romney. Ds should stop engaging in these joint media appearances until the R's get real candidates who plan to govern rather than strip our country for parts.
