you know, by DEMOCRATS - we're just that powerful |
It is not news until it happens but there are opinion pieces about it. How does it help him to do this debate? |
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/06/25/trump-biden-presidential-debate-cnn-rigged/74195698007/ It's being talked about a lot. Because he keeps making weird statements that signal he's not really very comfortable with the debate. And we know that the Coward Trump doesn't do anything that makes him uncomfortable. He might bow out claiming bone spurs in fact. Sir, many people are saying it. |
Rex Huppke is a columnist with a Left bias. He writes for USA TODAY (Lean Left bias). An independent review of Huppke's writing in July 2022 conducted by AllSides Managing Editor Henry A. Brechter (Center bias) noted that Huppke focuses most of his columns on political arguments against former President Donald Trump and core conservative causes, such as outlawing abortion and the idea of gun rights. Sources with an AllSides Media Bias Rating of Left display media bias in ways that strongly align with liberal, progressive, or left-wing thought and/or policy agendas. This is our most liberal rating on the political spectrum. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/rex-huppke-media-bias#:~:text=Rex%20Huppke%20is%20a%20columnist,AllSides%20Managing%20Editor%20Henry%20A. |
Democrats here are insisting Trump will not show at the debate. How would democrats posting here have insight into Trump’s thoughts and plans? Apparently they have some kind of insider information. No republicans here are saying that Biden is a coward who won’t show, because to assume either of these men is a no show at the debate marks you as either a troll or a child. |

Maybe some Democrats are insisting, but I mostly see people saying that there’s a big chance that Trump won’t show. He’s not what is called a “reliable” guy. |
No one is "insisting" that Trump won't show. It just seems like there is a non-zero chance of it. He's a big stupid baby who bails out of anything hard. So if he feels like it isn't going to do well - yeah, I think many of us think he'll just declare debate bankruptcy. |
Plus he always only does what is good for Donald Trump and it is hard to understand how showing up to this debate would be good for Donald Trump. |
If he is so eager to debate, why is he making so many excuses now as to why he has already lost? |
I just turned 78, and frankly I’m scared about what might come down on Thursday evening when the oldest candidates ever to compete in a presidential race debate each other.
I’m less worried that Joe Biden will suffer a mental lapse or physically stumble than I am that Biden will look weak and Donald Trump appear strong. One of Trump’s most successful ploys has been to frame the upcoming election as a contest between strength and weakness, and to convince many Americans that stridency and pugnacity are signs of strength while truth and humility signal weakness. https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/26/biden-trump-debate-robert-reich |
Then you need new sources of information. There is nothing I have seen anywhere to suggest Trump is a good debater or comes out of these looking better than before he started. And that was before the debacle of 2020. |
Too little too late but he needs to manage expectations. It is one thing to blab on with untruths about his opponent at a campaign rally. But now he has to get up on a stage and debate Biden for 90 minutes and much of his BS is going to be exposed as BS. |
Can you offer up anyone right-leaning who has said these debates are going to be good for Trump? |
I'm worried the rules this time will make Trump seem less insane. Turning off his mic when it's not his time to speak, specifically. |
