Don't you think they are smart enough to know they can't win without the Trump voters? He won't run, but they're going to have to put someone forth that didn't alienate his base. Those people don't have short memories.
Huh? The GOP has made itself crystal clear that it still wants to be Trump's Party.
You underestimate Trumps ego. If he can play kingmaker, take control of the Republican party, and claim that he delivered the next president it will be a much bigger victory to him than winning the election himself.Huh? The GOP has made itself crystal clear that it still wants to be Trump's Party.
Nobody held him accountable for his insurrectionist bullshit so he'll spend the next four years holding MAGA revival meetings all across the country where he'll bash and weed out all the Republicans who acted responsibly after Trump lost and go for a 'leaner and meaner' base when he runs again in 2024.
Just what you guys wanted. Yay Team Trump, right? The only way Trump doesn't win in a landslide in 2024 is if there's massive voter fraud, right guys?
You don’t understand Trump‘s ego. He views himself as The King, not the kingmaker. Tabbing a new king would mean somebody else was basking in HIS limelight. Trust me, that ain’t going to happen as long as he has any say about it.
Why bother with debates? He can just stay in the basement, refuse to answer questions, issue a statement every couple of weeks, and win, right?
The combined talking time for all was like 30 minutes, if that. Highlighted by Mrs. Harris accusing Biden of being an evil racist.
I promise to not give a shit about Trump from January 20th, 2021, forward. Scout's Honor.Huh? The GOP has made itself crystal clear that it still wants to be Trump's Party.

I DON'T give a shit about Trump now that he's no longer my President. If you'd bother to note the context of my comments, I'm commenting on the viability of the Republican Party moving forward. By continuing to embrace the guy, all you guys are doing is ensuring that the Democrats will continue to win national races.
You get awfully semantic when you don't want to argue the substance of a discussion. Debates or not, Biden posed almost nothing of substance regarding his intended policies prior to the certification of the election. He actively avoided any venue that he could that would require him to answer those questions. He was able to get through both debates without having to actually lay out policy. He attacked reporters that tried to hold him accountable. No presidential candidate ever has had the soft treatment that he has gotten up until this point.
Don't back down, Trump declined because the rules of the debate were written to favor Biden. If you remember, there was a lot of stir about Biden reading his debate points from a script and possibly having an earpiece in. Having a virtual debate would allow Biden to continue his pattern of only reading scripted responses and would give no insight to the American public as to Biden's positions or his ability to actually participate functionally in a challenging discussion. They could've just recorded infomercials and done the same thing.
So you knew that he was going to kill Keystone and end federal drilling on day 1. Also all the other EOs that he signed. That he was going to get back in bed in the ME and that he was going to re-bind us to 100's of millions of dollars of foreign fees for the Paris Accords? Because I'm guessing a lot of middle class people that voted for him in those midwestern states dependent on oil and the pipeline didn't know that and their vote would've been different had he mentioned it just once before the election.
Yeah, I forgot that the debate rules were ALL SLANTED towards Biden which is why he won both debates in the eyes of the general public, right?
Back down on what? I was giving you crap for saying there were 3 debates, which is an honest mistake. I couldn't care less about the rest of this discussion.
Pretty sure the 2nd one was widely considered a tie. Biden definitely won the first.Yeah, I forgot that the debate rules were ALL SLANTED towards Biden which is why he won both debates in the eyes of the general public, right?
and on the Paris accord he just didn’t mention that once or twice , it was constant .Yes
Biden campaign said he would rescind Keystone Pipeline permit if elected
Biden's campaign said he will "proudly stand in the Roosevelt Room again as President and stop it for good by rescinding the Keystone XL pipeline permit.”www.usatoday.com
Also yes. HE campaigned on the Paris agreement.
Hey sk8, I liken your post to the way I felt when Trump took office: "WTF??? You mean he's REALLY going to build a f*king border wall??!?"
Oh he attended two debates. The first he played the helpless victim to the boorish Trump and the second he never really clearly articulated positions. You can count those as real looks into his intentions but they were not. You’re also silent on the rest of his campaign strategy. But you’re right, Biden was physically present at the debate.
Once again, sk8, I recall the same types of follow-up questions once I understood Trump was actually serious about a new border wall. 'How much is it going to cost?' and 'Is Mexico still gonna to pay for it?' were at the top of my list.
To be fair, in the 2nd debate Biden did say he was going to shut down fracking. It was a surprising admission considering the fact that Pennsylvania was in play.
That is how I saw it. Trump was off and likely already showing signs of Wuhan Flu at the first debate. The second debate I thought Biden did well the first 30 minutes then slowly faded. If it had gone on for another 30 minutes it may have gotten bad, as he was clearly tiring and slipping at the end. I give his doctors a lot of credit in the sleep and drug routine they used with him.
Okie dokie, guys.
