    The party electorate is part of the party correct, so you have an issue with the people who voted for Biden, correct?

    You know you just could have said that.

    You still need to get over yourself because who are you to think you know better than the voters?

    This implies you think Biden is a good candidate.

    Trump's strategy is to wreck the debates and cause chaos and gridlock because allowing them to play out normally would make him look really terrible since his record would be the focus and it's objectively terrible.

    Eventually though this defensive strategy isn't going to cut it because he has to make up at least 4-5 points in the polls.

    Trump will have to fly straight at some point and try to land a clean blow on Biden while simultaneously exposing himself to and avoiding huge counterpunches.

    Tick tock.

    He can't use this aggressive poo flinging tactic in a town hall setting. It looks more petty there because regular citizens are the ones asking the questions.

    The Generalissimo might just be a Chi-com bot, but in case he fails to realize how his kind hurts America. See the NYT for the reactions overseas and in China. A sampling: "Others weighed in on Chinese social media platforms, saying that the debate had left them puzzled and amused. One user said that Mr. Trump’s frequent interruptions of Mr. Biden lent a “comedic feel” to what should have been a serious discussion, while another compared the debate to a quarrel at a vegetable market."

    or "Such a chaos at the top of U.S. politics reflects division, anxiety of U.S. society and the accelerating loss of advantages of the U.S. political system.”

    Something is seriously wrong with you.

    A person that complains constantly about trolls is trolling himself.

    Find somebody else to play this game with.

    Or put me on ignore.

    Again.

    I'm not trolling. You keep on using that statement that the Democrat primary voters voted in Biden therefore he's a good candidate. It's obvious by your word choice that is your implication.

    Biden was chosen because primary voters are scared shitless of Trump and therefore wanted to chose the most boring conservstive Democrat that would attract the most Republicans. It had little do with the quality of the candidate. Biden in a typical year would be a bad candidate. He's ****ing old and he just can't rhetorically make his arguments well. He's a politican suited for the 80s with all his platitudes and finger pointing to the camera.

    Democrat primary voters can be wrong. They were wrong in 2016 also.

    Since it's obvious Trump will call anyone a socialist or communist, someone like Warren or even Harris who isn't full on progressive would in hindsight be a much better choice. One, it would look significanltly more rude for Trump to interrupt a woman that often on a debate. He would look even more like a bully and two, pretty much every other dnc candidate is more sharp and quicker thinkers on their feet. Every single other Democrat candidate is more intelligent and are rhetorically better debaters and speakers.

    Your argument makes zero sense none of that correlates to me saying he is a good candidate. You are making a fool of yourself by trying to tie those things in all in the hope of engaging me in a debate.

    Why the **** is anybody debating the merits of Biden at this moment, what's the purpose?

    You are so obvious trying to troll me, I guess because you need some attention this morning.

    Why not carpet bomb another thread in the garm about how terrible Harden is.

    I'm guessing they will give each campaign some seats for guests.

    I'm seriously not trying to troll you dude. You get really sensitive to the slightest disagreements.

    I don't know if I call it a strategy. News has a bias toward negativity and worse, so it's all pretty natural that he dominates the news.

    Grow up. How old do you claim to be? Mother jokes really? The only joke is you. What a sad sad life you lead if all you got to troll now is mother jokes.

    Dude you are the one who has claimed to put me on ignore 3 times and you are calling me sensitive?

    Really?

    I don't get sensitive about anything posted in here, it does not affect my life in any way.

    There has been nothing serious since you butted in to something with me and another poster, you actually keep trying to imply that I think Biden is great candidate.

    Either you are trolling or you just need attention really badly either way it's not a good look, nobody takes you seriously in the Garm and going this route you will become a joke here.

    All because you want to **** on Biden because your candidate lost.

    We are not even having a disagreement all the facts have been laid out yet you want to keep litigating something I have never said.

    Stop trolling.

    Partisan beliefs aside, I do not think this debate went well for Trump. In the first 15 minutes, Trump was demonstrating that Biden would easily be ran over. After that, it seems like it all fell apart. Biden did well to maintain his composure.

    Regarding judicial vacancies: Trump did well reminding the people the President is elected for 4 years, not 3 years. I agree with this.

    Biden did very well by not pandering to the extremists, unlike Trump with his Proud Boys comments.

    I believe this debate influenced those who were considering sitting out this election.

    It might not be an intentional strategy but it is something Trump has done since the 80's and has kept him relevant.

    I agree and think this is a good analysis.

    I do think Trump did rattle Biden a few times though and he got him to take the bait on a few things.

    Okay. I just think any form of a slight disagreement makes you very sensitive. Yes I've blocked you before because you have a tendency to reply to people who cordially express a disagreement with extreme vitriol. Very benign calm posters have called you out before on this also such as @JuanValdez.

    I’ve had the “general” fellow on ignore for a very long time. I only “hear” about his current ravings from reading the posts of those attempting to engage with the guy.

    Same. It seems like it was a good decision.
