She’d fall completely on her face if she had to debate Trump... on genuine-ness alone

Trump may be a buffoon but he’s real and even relatable, in a sense. Harris is fake across the board and isn’t used to being called on it - Trump would eat her lunch on a debate stage with facial expressions and sneers alone. She’d stoop to trading insults with the guy and then she’d lose.

Yup. The only folks who thought Kamala had a shot was the establishment dems/media pushing weak ass narratives claiming it so. She can only fuck her way up the ladder so far. :coffee:

Did you ever watch the video of Tulsi destroying her? Trump would be that x10. Actual facts and intelligent comments have nothing to do with it. It's about sound bites and style.

If you asked 100 people what they remember most about the Trump Hilldog debates this would probably be near the top:

Saw my first tv ad the other day for Bloomberg here in PA. Primary in PA isn't until April 28th. Any doubts as to whether he's serious or in the race for the duration should be answered. With a crowded field with no real frontrunner, look for news articles over the next several months to get giddy about the potential for their not to be a nominee by the time the convention rolls around. They love that stuff.

The guy made several claims that made it easy for Biden to credibly call him a liar

At some point, somebody is going to ask him the right question-

“Mr. Vice President, what characteristic does your son possess that made him worth 50 Large to a Ukrainian oil company?”

And-

“How can you claim to be such an experienced foreign policy expert when you cannot understand the optics of you pressuring Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was looking into a company your son was receiving 50 LARGE PER MONTH from?”

That’s some very Trumpy sh1t Biden pulled there

People continue to act like Trump is all that. He's not. He lost all three of the debates to Clinton both in terms of substance and in terms of the perceptions of the people who watched the debates. More people thought Clinton won than thought Trump won each time.

And on election day, again: He got a lower percentage of the popular vote than Romney did. He won Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin more because fewer people voted for the Democrat than because more people voted for the Republican. Many more people voted for non-major Party candidates. He got a lower percentage of the vote in Florida than Romney did but still won because the Democrat share dropped by more than the Republican share did. He got fewer votes in Wisconsin in absolute terms than Romney did. He did a little better than Romney did in Michigan and Wisconsin but it would not have been enough if all it had been was him gaining the same percent change as the Democrat lost. If that had happened the Democrat would've won again.

He's not some unbeatable, popular candidate. He's a fluke associated with a very unique set of circumstances.

And this thing where some of you think he's hard to beat in a debate just makes no sense at all. He took it on the chin in the general election debates every time. Harris would absolutely destroy Trump in a one on one debate. She'd destroy him on substance and all the polling would say she won; probably by large margins than all the polling said Clinton won each time.

Just as a reminder, though you can find plenty of other sources that will tell you the same thing:

https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-tru ... ry-1447108
n fact, major post-debate polls following the candidates' three debates from September to October showed that respondents believed Clinton emerged as the victor over Trump, ranging from a five-point margin of victory to a 40-point margin.

"As most people are aware, according to the Polls, I won EVERY debate, including the three with Crooked Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that in the first debate, they modulated the sound on me, and got caught," the president—incorrectly—tweeted. "This crew looks somewhat easier than Crooked, but you never know?"

Polls conducted by various organizations, including Gallup, Fox, NBC, CNN, Politico, YouGov and Public Policy Polling, showed otherwise for all three 2016 debates. But it's not the first time that Trump or his campaign have falsely claimed victory in post-debate polls.
He's not hard to beat in a debate. I don't know where this thing where some of you guys think that he is comes from.

That’s because you think debates are substantive.

Let me clue you in, John

Presidential debates are basically analogous to Houndawg and MaineJeff posts

Yes he lost the debates in terms of policy or substance. But in terms of sound bites he won. And that translates to votes in the voting booth.

I thought I heard somewhere that it was actually 166 Large for two people - Hunter Biden and John Kerry's nephew. Did anyone else hear that or was that Fox News blowing shit one night?

Rather see him go down in the election versus the time and money spent by democrats for this impeachment crap. He's an idiot, it doesn't take the Democratic House and billions of dollars to prove that. Dems could have spent their time and money improving their candidate options.
