I don't think the negatives of Trump declining outweigh Joes performance in the first debate....at least politically.
I'd like to see a second debate personally, throw in RFK jr to spice things up as well.
Trump is still a convicted felon and he will still make abortion illegal nationally so I don't know.
Unless he was drugged with a horse tranquilizer or had the plague, I don't see any room for redemption. It was not an issue of stumbling over questions as you might have seen in prior debates.
God how easy it is for people to just dismiss Trump lying for 90 minutes and consider it a win.
Unfortunately, that is how bad Biden was. Trump had lobbed so many softballs. If the dems didn't have any bad luck...
Yet no one talks about it because Biden couldn't attack him or call him out on anything because he wasn't there. Donald could have dropped his pants and took a shit between the two podiums and Biden wouldn't have had any ability to ask why he did it or why it was necessary.
He has never once said anything about that being nationally an issue and as a matter of fact said he likes the states dealing with it which is what the supreme Court wanted
Yeah, just like Supreme Court justices said that Roe v. Wade was settled law in their confirmation hearings. Republicans say what they need to say and then do the opposite when it is convenient for them. Trump doesn't care that he will be called a liar.
To clarify, the two debates were arranged by the Biden campaign outside the normal debate commission process, with different rules and format.
The window they opened was 90 minutes. He didn’t have to answer any tough questions during that 90 minutes. If there was what could be considered a “tough question”, he certainly didn’t answer it. He’s quickly retreated and any media access will be scripted and rare.
Joe could have avoided this last debate and not taken much of a hit. In hindsight that's what he should have done.
Not dismissing anything. The debate hurt Joe far more than it did Trump. That's just reality Tom.
Totally agree they SHOULD be doing debates.
Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies, found liable for sexual abuse, is facing numerous other criminal and civil charges, owes Jean Carroll a half a billion or whatever… I’m guessing this isn’t going to keep him up at night.
Everything is relative. Trump could have whipped it out and peed all over the stage and it would have been better than Biden.
Not arguing. Dementia isn't linear, but he isn't getting that much better. You can't hide the look in the eyes. I would be done arguing as well if I posted that he could get it together.
Depends on the cause and the treatment. In many cases it is an intestinal issue. Given that functional medicine is also on the opposite side of the pharma/ag chemical industry, I would doubt they would treat it that way. It is easier to minimize/prevent it than treat it.
He's had umpteen brain bleeds/aneurysms. His brain is frigging soggy and he's not recovering from that. Look it up..........
See, I think he’s simply an 81 year old man. Whether that includes dementia I have no idea. He’s not my first choice for president, but on the other hand the alternative is trump.
Again, I don't feel like arguing this point anymore. You're not going to move, neither am I.
We can sort of agree on Trump. I have too many friends in Ukraine to want Biden. Many of the everyday Ukrainians understand the situation very well. They know the movie Wag the Dog. And they do not like Putin.
Biden has to debate if he is the candidate and the bar will be lowered for him that as long as Jill is able to say Oh honey you did such a good job!!! Not sure how you say it but she will finish with pah tuey.
