You know this is elder abuse, it’s sad to see.
He’s clearly going through some form of age related mental decline. He should really drop out, for the good of the country, just like Biden did when the republicans were so sincerely worried about his mental decline and called for him to drop out.
To paraphrase the 10th Doctor, don't you think he looks tired?
He's trying to strike a chord
He needs to lose though. 1, it'll be funny to see but more importantly 2, if he drops out they have a chance to put someone just as repugnant but way more savy and intelligent into the race.
A replacement won't have his cult following. But I agree, for his idiotic movement to die he needs to be on the ballot and he needs to lose.
You're right. His replacement could rally the enitre gop, not just the mouthbreathers.
Is there much of a distinction?
MGT or Matt Gaetz?
Oh wait, you said intelligent... I'm at a loss.
He had a concept of a debate
“Viktor Orbán is known for destroying Hungarian democracy using techniques Trump has tried to copy,” said David Driesen, a constitutional law professor at Syracuse University, who has written on the capture of democratic institutions by autocratic leaders. “It was surreal to hear Trump cite Orbán’s praise as validation of his own leadership.”
It wasn’t surreal. That’s . . It was not surreal.
I don't know why at this point, but my jaw dropped when he was verbally sucking off Orbán. I couldn't believe how much he was glazing that piece of shit, but then I remembered who's mouth it was coming out of. Donald sure loves that "iron fist" approach to "leadership"
Well Harris' burn before him citing the support of Orban was the most incendiary in the debate. I find it uncanny it's not shared more. She basically tells him he's the laying stock of foreign leaders and unable to lead because he's averse of 'fact'.
It's surreal to idiots that have been living under a rock.
They’re going to want a do over on Fox News. Don’t take the bait.
He already said no to any future debate including on Fox News. He's got his tail between his legs, probably too afraid it will get eaten.
THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS!!
Moderator:
none of that is true.
Either that or they'll just pretend he won. The jagoffs who watch only care about him appearing to be dominant, and Fox will cut it up to make him look that way
This time they know, there is no pretending.
I mean, they still pretend like Jan 6 was only a few people walking around like tourists. I take your point, but reality has little bearing on what they profess to believe.
Although, yes, this does make him look like a dumb joke which is absolutely what needs to be done to fascists. Even a little doubt can start the cracks in his base while they all point fingers about whose fault it is.
Oh, I hear ya dude. The emperor isn't naked until he is in jail. But more important than anything - it feels bad to loose like this. The whole point of pretending is that you get to feel "strong" and like you are "owning the libs" or whatever. Now, it's like, what's the point? They just want to lose again, and get made fun of.
Well as long as they don't act shocked and surprised. He did brag about not doing any preparation, and it showed.
“Dismayed” is such a strange choice of wording. Like “slightly annoyed” or “disappointed” or “it’s regretful”.
.....but will vote for him anyway.
"Embarrassing" "Convicted Felon"
When it's a cult of personality, all you're following is the (repulsive) personality. There's no substance to agree or disagree with...

'First'. Who are they fooling? "Only".
He was certainly more prepared than his rallies.
No need to prep for his rallies since barely anyone shows up. And those that do, get bored and leave.
I thought it was really funny how Trump was nodding along as Harris said this
