Loosing his cool is how he lost the last debate against Biden. Just remain cool and mop the floor with him like he did Hillary. It's impossible for Biden to win the debate on the issues. Agree. If he can withstand the lying about him from Biden and CNN, and the disparity in conduct....and lets face it....could any of us stand up there and not want to punch them all in the face? But HE must ask the questions that CNN will avoid, he has to save 15 seconds at the end of his time for this.....its the best way to negate the CNN efforts to tilt this toward Biden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,820 Posted May 16, 2024 I don't understand why Trump would concede to Team Biden's demands to turn this into... whatever it is, it's not a debate. IMO Trump should concede to the earlier date but push back on the partisan MSM moderators, empty room, and mic silencing that will turn this into note-reading exercise. "President Biden, tell us about your position on immigration." "Glad you asked, Jakey! [Reads prepared statement.]" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegeneral 3,229 Posted May 16, 2024 Biden can say I have gotten legislation through Congress no one else has. Bringing microchip manufacturing to the US. Unemployment is not an issue, near all-time lows. Our economy has performed well coming out of pandemic. We have strengthened NATO and our relationship with allies in Europe and with Japan and South Korea in the Pacific. Strengthened workers rights and am pro-union. Loosened marijuana restrictions for all you pot heads. The other guy wants to take away ACA and replace with something he can’t explain or is a “secret plan”. The other guy boasts about taking away health choices from your daughters. The other guy refuses to admit he lost the last election, in a landslide using his terms, but lives in a bizzaro world of his own making where he actually won. It’s chaos and grievances every day. Now I’m not sure Biden can spit all this out. Trump for his part is a sloppy mess as well. Not expecting much out of these but they are good TV for political nerds.

Debates have become unwatchable because all the candidates do is yell back and forth at each other and/or go way over their allotted time. Just because you can't speak over your opponent doesn't mean it's just prepared statements. You still have rebuttals and, if the debate is legit, you don't know in advance exactly which questions are even being asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Biden can do a campaign stop here That location in the battleground state will now be the site of a new data center from Microsoft, whose president credited the Biden administration’s economic policies for paving the way for the new investments. For Biden, it offered another point of contrast between him and Trump, who had promised a $10 billion investment by the Taiwan-based electronics giant Foxconn that never came.

Agreed and I'd also point out Biden has used that strategy himself in the past.

For example, in Nevada Trump leads by a whopping 12 points. Yet at the the same time Jackie Rosen, the Democratic senator, is ahead by 2 points over her Republican rival. Thats a swing of 14 points which means, if true, that 14% of Nevada voters are going to vote for Jackie Rosen AND Donald Trump?? I’m not buying it.
