Trump - Biden Debate Part Deaux...

You know, I thought this at first too.

I heard Donald Trump and his supporters complain that at the "town hall" he was asked hard questions and Biden was thrown softballs.

That is until I actually went back and listened to the questions that were asked, and Trump was given absolute softballs and decided to turn them into Charlie Morton sinkers......... I am sorry but questions like: "Do you support Quanon" are major meatballs right down the middle and all he did was either attempt to not answer the question or discuss something else, that is entirely on Trump.

At some point you just have to accept that he can be more closely aligned with your political views and still realize that he sucks.

 

He will never be that cool.

 

#1 Trump already agreed on her as the moderator some time ago. In fact not only did he agree to her, he has praised her. Calling on Welker during a news conference in Switzerland in January, Trump complimented her for landing a weekend anchor gig on NBC's "Today" show. "They made a very wise decision," Trump told Welker.

#2 After the second debate was canceled this month, Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller told Fox News Welker would do an "excellent job" hosting the third one.

"I have a very high opinion of Kristen Welker," Miller said. "I think she's going to do an excellent job as the moderator for the third debate. I think she's a journalist who’s very fair in her approach and I think that she'll be a very good choice for this third debate."

#3 The debate commission is made up of half democrats and half republicans.

 

I have been at this point for a few years. I dont think he totally sucks but he definitely gets on my nerves a lot. He has done most of what he said he would do, although usually in the most abrasive way possible.

 

I do think that democrats fail to see that Trump has had some successes in the White House. He will have appointed three SCOTUS Justices, while that isn't something he has control over, it still is a success. He did pass the tax act he wanted and he has kept the US out of war.

He certainly has many failures as well, but he hasn't been a complete disaster and there are things that he can point to as successes, unfortunately he cannot stay out of his own way sometimes.

I recently watched a long interview with Steve Bannon and he discussed the double edged sword of Trump. He discussed that the comments that are outlandish and made by Trump helped attract some voters to the populist movement BUT they also so long term damage because they alienate a lot of potential supporters as well.

For example, Bannon at the end of the day believes that poor whites, poor blacks and Hispanics should support the type of populism that he believes in because Bannon believes that wages for the poorest American's will go up with more limited immigration and the deportation of illegal aliens. He also believes in a progressive tax and is against the "one world idea". Trump has pushed some of those positions, but his other comments have made people conclude that the reason is racism.

 

OUCH!

 

Also, the debate topics were originally arranged with the assumption of there being 3 debates. Trump bailed on the second debate, and so additional topics needed to be added to the third debate to make up for it.

 

I would have advised Biden to skip it. He's up in the polls. Biden would like to just glide to election day at this point. Trump is the one that needs a shake-up. He probably won't get it in the debate, but why even afford him the opportunity. But since they are doing it, I don't think it'll much matter. I think people who are undecided on this election are either lying or brain-dead. The prime mover in the election won't be who people want for president, but how many from each camp will turn out to vote. Will a debate stunner make someone get off their ass and go to a voting booth? I doubt it.

 

Damn. I didn't realize it either, you're right though. He turns lobs into tongue twisters because he wont risk losing his fanatics AND simultaneously gets mad when Biden calmly pushes back on certain perceived far left issues without hesitation. Trump.... basically jumping up and down, pointing, screaming - YOU JUST LOST THE LEFT. Lulz.

 

Presidential Debates are mostly useless, but it is totally pointless in this election. Why do we need see these pointless debates?

 

Is Mexico paying for the Wall? Because that was Trump's biggest campaign promise.

How's that balance of trade working out with those tariffs that Americans are paying?

Is America safer going it alone?

Where's his Health Plan?

Did that tax cut for billionaires trickle down to working people?

Are we healthier for environmental deregulation, are they spurring manufacturing jobs?

Did he deport all illegal aliens?

Rebuild infrastructure?

Did Hillary get locked up?

 

Here's a preview of the new debate format:



What I mean, is, take the exact opposite of the above -- that's the preview.

 

I guess if only to see how Joe handles the Hunter Biden allegations.

Two weeks is a long time in politics...

 

Also remind me when the Deficit was cut in half..

 

I think Trump is trying the blame the refs strategy to see gin up support.

It also lays the groundwork for him to claim if he does badly that the moderator and commission were so unfair to him.

 

Not watching this. First debate was way too stressful for me.

 

Apparently the latest Biden rumor involves a 14-year old. This is about to get EXPLOSIVE.

 

like diarrhea?

 

Are you referencing this story that went nowhere when it broke in May alleging that Biden said something off-color about the size of a 14 year old girl's breasts? Interested to see how that can explode.
