...for Trump And hopefully the slide continues. If Trump deteriorate campaign at this rate, he may get maximum  30%-35% of votes in November . The best strategy for Biden is to even avoid the debates just as Trump was suggesting back in December 2019 when Trump was thinking the he is going to win in November 2020

That's probably the smartest thing you have said since you've been here.  

for granted here OR you are just "wishful" thinking out loud.  Even with a gaffe or two, Biden will smother Trump.  Way too many people have grown tired of Trump's insult and filibuster antics.  Any debate will clearly show that Trump has absolutely no grasp of the issues that face our nation before.

Trump knows he's in huge trouble and the debates are a major way he can get his campaign back on track. He'll do them all, lie non-stop, then whine about how "unfair" they were.
My guess is it'll be closer to a draw than most think.

trump and Biden both agree to not defund the police. So on that note, Biden will then announce a toast to not defund the police. Biden then rises his bottle of water to toast their agreement....then lets see what trump does. On the toast trump will probably fumble the bottle the way Wendell Tyler fumbles a football...  
Anyway, I don't see trump engaging in the debate. Just name calling and throwing out fake shit.

Trump can think on his feet, Biden can never find the words he's looking for and appears to be confused when asked the simplest of questions. Even with Morning Joe and Rachel Maddow as moderators they simply won't be able to carry him over the finish line. Biden should really be thanking Mini Mike for taking all the heat in the last two debates, If Kamala had gone after him again he never would have survived. I guarantee you that Joe is going to blow up and lose his cool at least once during the debates, Trump will trash talk him, Biden won't be able to find the words to fight back and he'll blow his top and threaten to beat him up, just like he has done to potential voters a few times already this year.

And the trump response is "I know you are but what am I"...lol
Man you give this cat too much credit. C'mon man..wake up

know better.  This last post was part of his deflection, "stick up for Trump at all costs," campaign.  A feeble attempt at most, but at least he is still trying.  Keeps us all entertained.

That's what everyone, including Hillary, thought last time and now we have POTUS Donald J Trump. underestimate him at your own risk.

why I have a difficult time disagreeing with Laffy.  He nailed it!  Laffy ABSOLUTELY nailed it!  The points made in Laffy's post are more than enough reason why Trump has got to go.  But there is still MORE, much, much, much more.  It is just as impossible to keep up with the number of Trump's stupid, failures, as it is to understand how he could even have one sane supporter.

I get it you and he agree about Trump, but does that mean you are willing to accept "some racism" from people you agree with, but you have a zero tolerance for those who's politics you disagree with?

with little public speaking experience, and armed with little more than his big picture ideas and Republican talking points. For example, he knew nothing about the Affordable Care Act, except the Repubs wanted to repeal it. And he did that against some pretty formidable opposition. Ted Cruz was supposedly a great debater. Chris Christie, John  Kasich – very smart guys.  Way ahead of Joe.

Trump has spent literally thousands of hours talking directly to a VERY unfriendly press and taking questions from them for literally hours on end. This is Trump's wheelhouse and any objective observer has had to have noticed how rattled Joe gets and how hard it is for him to find the words to answer even the simplest of questions. Face it, Joe gets flustered, even if you want to call what Trump does bloviating, he's still firmly in charge of what he is saying. Joe is not.

satirical posts?  I sure hope so.  If not, you have lost all credibility, in my book.  Trump sailed through the GOP primary debates for a number of reasons.

I’ve seen plenty of Biden speeches to know you are flat out wrong.  His struggles with stuttering are well known.  His learned method for controlling it at times gives him a flat effect  But it is what he says and not the way he says it that counts and he will simply bury Trump with facts that Trump has been lying about since day one.  Biden has Trumps own record to use against him.  Trump has nothing but unmitigated bullshit and people are fully aware of it now.  

Trump absolutely has NOT "spent literally thousands of hours talking directly to a VERY unfriendly press and taking questions from them for literally hours on end."

You "can win the argument?" ROR! According to WHOM? YOU? Thanks for crowning yourself the winner of each and every debate. Do you have a remote clue how inane and self-absorbed you sound?
And if I spend "WEEKS arguing the same tired point"  WHO am I arguing with? YOU, you dunce, who are just as willing to die in the last ditch. At least I admit it. You just lie about it, hypocrite.
Oh, and one last call of BULLSHIT on "I don't engage with Laffy." You do it every fucking DAY while claiming you're not, hinging yourself on the technicality that your reply isn't technically to HIS post but to someone else's above or below it.
Do you have a CLUE how lame and disingenuous that sounds? "I don't talk TO Laffy, I talk ABOUT him" is, inadvertently, the funniest line on this board. You realize everyone's laffing at you, don't you?
You are either a hypocrite or a liar, or BOTH. I say the latter.

to respond to any debate question.  

but if you watch it live as it happens like I do, you will see Trump fielding question after question, yes literally "for hours on end" sometimes, and virtually all of it is hostile questioning. Forgive me if I believe my own lying eyes rather than believe what CNN tells me happened several hours after the fact.

wrong!  Who are you trying to convince, yourself?  My post cited the results of live broadcasts of Trump behaving, EXACTLY as I posted.  No "second hand" info here, I watched Trump behave in the despicable manner I described.

fall for this are his KKK and uneducated followers.  Normal people know better.  Make no mistake about it.  You can put a fork in Trump, he IS done!

every one of Laffy's points, but it is a bit too painful for you to address each of them directly.  Will accept your deflection as confirmation of what I already knew to be, just a few, overwhelming reasons why Trump is done.

I don't care what happens to him after January 2025. Of course some of our more ancient and feeble posters here won't even be alive in 2025, I almost feel sorry for them knowing that Trump will be POTUS for the rest of their miserable lives. lol

most of the interviews are from friendly Fox, but you are correct Trump has given many, many interviews to the unfriendly media (but not CNN) including the Post, the NYT, and the WSJ as well as the networks that will prepare him for the debates. He did not have that level of interrogation at the time he sailed through the Republican  debates.  And, therefore, he will be better prepared for the presidential debates.  

Trump is pretty sure he is a "one-term" president and is as shocked as I am that he was even elected.

confused or I overestimated you.  If one of my students failed to address a question on an essay exam, and danced around the subject matter, spewing all kinds of irrelevant garbage, in a two-page response, I would NOT call that genius. I would call that an ill-prepared failure and a feeble attempt to throw a bunch of trash against the wall, hoping something would stick.

I hope the format is via remote connections (like a zoom meeting) and that there is only ONE active screen and microphone at a time ... preferably with an electronically activated on-off switch. "You have 3 minutes. Starting in 3-2-1-Go!" After 150 seconds, a 30 second warning; then, at 180 seconds, your microphone goes dead.  And the other side has a dead microphone and can't interrupt or create distractions. ... Trump would go crazy. I mean go even MORE crazy.

... TRUMP: Such a nasty woman.
... TRUMP: It is rigged.  
... TRUMP: No puppet.

I made the rather obvious point that Trump would do better in the November debates than in the 2016 debates bc he has four years of the experience that comes from being president. I explained in the second post how Trump would prevent being exposed on policy issues by handling all issues the same way as part of his genius at self promotion. I concluded that his debate performance would be sufficient to reach the Deplorables- a/k/a the voters who elected Trump in 2016.  
 
         In a previous post, I pointed out my concern that COVID 19 will cause a historically low turnout- and that means the candidate with the truly passionate support has an advantage.  For all these reasons, I think Biden should be concerned  about the debates.  

but its not that much of a stretch. It's not just the interviews he gives, but every time he goes somewhere he fields questions from the press, the press is rarely (never) friendly, but he will do a back and forth with them for extended periods of time several times a week. I have NEVER seen a POTUS so accessible to the press.  

If they occur they will be fine political entertainment and perhaps a couple of kernels to be found in all the chaff. But at the end of the day we pretty much have two largely undesirable candidates so I don't think anyone is voting for the person but something else. Some will be party line, some will be against the establishment (prior status quo) some will be against one or the other person.  

First, because turnout in elections since the COVID crisis began has been unusually high because circumstances have motivated people to vote.
Second, because more than 30 states have "no excuse" vote by mail options and about five more do ALL their voting by mail.
Trump can run but he can't hide.

thing, Mari.  There is a certain group of voters who would stick with Trump, no matter how foolish/ignorant he looks.

You guys elected DeBlasio.

what do YOU truly know about these two, GaGa?

Even Democrats hate DeBlasio.

topic are 100% wrong and have me wondering if you are simply baiting those who know better.

know nothing about him!
