“Guys… what if our racist, sexist bully acts like a racist, sexist bully?”
When a mange riddled deranged old wolf comes out of sheep’s clothing… News as 11.
So… They gonna send someone else or what?
I mean, they are sending a convicted felon against a former prosecutor.
They are not sending their best people, as many people say.
My thoughts exactly, they might as well put a sofa and JD Vance on the Republican side and send thoughts and prayers.
I’m not sure they are not sending their best. When looking at people like Ron de Santis or Mike Johnson, I actually like the idea of them sending an imbecile into the race instead of a crazy but potentially capable candidate.
I hope he completely loses his temper and lashes out, making a complete ass of himself. Kamala is tougher than him and can handle it.
Remember, everybody thought the last debate was going to be a cakewalk for Biden. All he had to do was show up and not look like a sundowning dementia patient. And look how that turned out.
Harris may be able to “handle it” in that he’s not going to get her all worked up where she’ll break down and cry or something. But will she be able to hold her own on the debate floor? She is untested in that realm and her rally speeches show that she’s still not the most confident public speaker, and I could see a situation where Trump just doesn’t allow her to get a word in edgewise. Even if he says nothing but his usual incoherent word salads, if he can essentially bully her into silence by just throwing her off with his usual interruptions, firehoses of lies, and shouting down her responses, it could bolster his strongman persona, play to his mysoginist base by “putting her in her place”, and give some independent voters the impression that she can’t keep up.
Like I said, Harris hasn’t been tested. Arguing in a courtroom is one thing when there’s a judge who can keep the opposition in check and has the ability to enforce it. It’s different when it’s moderators who are toothless and can’t or won’t do anything about Trump who doesn’t give a shit about the rules at all. And her continuing uneasiness when she gives rally speeches in front of friendly crowds makes me wonder how she’ll handle someone who’s game plan is literally to make her look like she belongs back in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.
Harris’ game plan right from the beginning is that he goes to the debate and just lashes out. That’s why she wanted the open mics. But like I said before, Biden got the debate he wanted on his terms and it ended up ending his campaign. Hopefully Harris isn’t making the same mistake.
What’s even worse, I worry that Harris may be getting coached to try to thread the needle between getting words in edgewise and not opening herself up to accusations of sounding “shrill,” which is probably literally impossible.
Personally, I think her best bet is to give zero shits about being called “shrill” or “nasty,” address Trump with every bit as much of the insulting and contemptuous attitude as he tries to use on her while also calling out his bullshit directly and expressing coherent policy positions, and then – crucially – respond to anyone who calls her “shrill” afterwards by derisively laughing and mocking weak crybaby Trump for whining that he can’t handle her.
Even then, it will be an incredible challenge for her to be perceived as the winner, no matter how much sh wipes the floor with him in any objective sense.

You know they have closed mics. How do you think this situation possible?
Trump has a natrually loud voice and loves to shout. Even if his mic is muted, her mic will still pick up at least some of what he’s saying. And viewers will still see he’s saying something.
Plus, muted mics don’t change the fact that she’ll be sitting right near him and will be able to hear him. Even if the mics don’t pick it up, he can still throw her off. Try talking to one person while you have another person shouting nonsense at full volume into your ear. That’s what would be happening. Muted mics or no, Harris will try making her talking points and he’ll just keep shouting just to throw her off. If her mics pick it up, he’ll consider it a bonus.
Saddest thing is nobody is going to watch this who hasn’t already decided.
The people who voted for him in the last two elections, who would gladly lick the diaper leakage dribbling down his leg off his lifted loafers, will not watch this. They will watch the clips of Fox News sycophants highlighting the two or three gotcha lines and declare him the victor, regardless of his performance.
People on the fence will tune it out, as they have everything else, because they are absolute fucking morons who don’t give a shit about anything outside their own sight line.
Harris supporters will confirm that she is a competent orator and debater who won against a gibbering human suitcase full of soiled laundry, and nothing will change.

Exactly. Hillary cleaned his clock in the debates and lost. Professor Lictman has documented many debates where the election winner lost. Debates mean nothing. That said, there are other much more reliable factors and Professor Lictman has used them to predicted that Kamala Harris will win this election.
Being a trump advisor sounds like the most stressful and unfulfilling job imaginable. They should probably quit.
