I'm not saying he's setting himself up for disaster, but he's totally setting himself up for disaster. I'm assuming he figures "off the cuff" is his strong point, but I will not be surprised at all if Biden is having Trump's lunch for dinner.Efforts to focus the preparation-averse Trump on the upcoming debate have occurred in sporadic bursts, including one 30-minute session last weekend. This past Sunday they resumed with a short question-and-answer period utilizing the flashcards campaign advisers prepared to try and hone what have so far been unwieldy attempts to define Democratic rival Joe Biden. Trump did less than two hours of prep total, a person familiar told CNN.
The problem is that Trump could walk out there and drool on himself and be unable to speak in complete sentences with words greater than two syllables and a huge portion of the country would continue to blindly support him and question Biden's mental ability. These people have been completely brainwashed. Then there are those who are just so selfish that all they care about is their bank accounts.CameronBornAndBred wrote: ↑September 28th, 2020, 10:28 pmI'm not saying he's setting himself up for disaster, but he's totally setting himself up for disaster.

Trump will flail about here and there, possibly even score a point occasionally with a remark that will come across as clever to the unclever.CameronBornAndBred wrote: ↑September 28th, 2020, 10:28 pmI'm not saying he's setting himself up for disaster, but he's totally setting himself up for disaster.

This is a great idea.

Possibly/probably he will refer to Biden’s age, implying senility, etc.
As Biden will have prepared thoroughly, he will know this is coming. I trust his prep team has played out response scenarios. It strikes me that Biden should hold his fire and not mention Trump’s immaturity — until Trump raises the issue of Biden’s age. At and to which point, Biden should respond: “I’m counting on the voters to prefer my experience as a mature, commonsense adult to the daily tantrums of my opponent, who has shown repeatedly he has the temperament of a 3-year old. This country faces multiple deep problems in the coming decade. We need an adult in the White House.”
Sadly, your assessment with regard to Trump’s debate performance is spot-on. That’s what happened in 2016. Most of his answers were word salad, and people like my dad thought he was great and clearly won. QAnon followers believe he is speaking to them in code. Mass brainwashing is my conclusion as well.CrazyNotCrazie wrote: ↑September 28th, 2020, 11:52 pmThe problem is that Trump could walk out there and drool on himself and be unable to speak in complete sentences with words greater than two syllables and a huge portion of the country would continue to blindly support him and question Biden's mental ability.

I saw a great posting on Facebook tonight (words I never thought I'd say!) about how to handle any hearings that might occur for Barrett. It is a waste of time to ask about her qualifications and her opinions on major issues - she will dance around them. Instead ask about her legal opinion on major laws that Trump has blatantly broken. Most likely, she will punt and say she needs to know more details. But it gives the Dems a platform to remind the nation what a scumbag Trump is. And they don't come across as harassing Barrett.
I would prefer Kamala to play a strictly legal role here and ONLY ask legal viewpoint questions. Nothing that can be seen as a political attack. She needs to stay incredibly professional and not give the opposition reason to show up and vote specifically against her. She has to do aggressive questioning, I agree, but it has to be one professional to another. It's a tough walk she's going to have to do. I think she's more than capable of doing it, though.ArkieDukie wrote: ↑September 29th, 2020, 7:49 amI would like to see the Democrats turn Kamala Harris loose with this mission.
I don’t know. About the only thing he could have done more would Have been shutting it down.. “Ok boys. Let’s stop right now”!CrazyNotCrazie wrote: ↑September 29th, 2020, 11:22 pmI don't even know where to begin other than I have now reached new lows in terms of my willingness to interact anyone who supports Trump and can defend his childish behavior. That was a true embarrassment for America. I give Wallace credit for trying to shut Trump up. He made some effort to get Trump to actually answer questions, but he could have done more. And several times Trump interrupted and went off on tangents about Biden and he forced Biden to reply - he should have excused Biden or given him free reign to decide whether or not he wanted to answer.
Good old MattMan OY defended Trump's lack of disdain for the Proud Boys. And I will probably get dinged for calling him out.

Two against one according to the loser...
We made it through 45 minutes as a family. I watched more after the kids went to bed. I finally had enough, thinking I had watched 90% of the chaos when I turned it off. DVR said I was half way through.CameronBornAndBred wrote: ↑September 29th, 2020, 10:47 pmOoof, that debate was insane.
Gonna take a while to decompress.
This reminds me of my last really bad hangover when I swore I would never, ever drink again.
