hail2skins Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 How are debates too risky?? From a health perspective? Joe and Bernie debated right after the pandemic really flared up.....what is different about Joe and the Donald? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it's not surprising Dodd has a big role in Biden's veep selection process. Biden likes his onetime fellow senate cronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Yeah I think they’ll do virtual debates at least. I’d sure like to see some town halls. How great would it be if someone zoom bombed Trump with, say, photos of shirtless Putin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump isn't going to want to debate without a live audience. The debate sites will probably still be impacted by the Covid surges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing, except in a town hall format, which could be done virtually. The debates will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, you ever see those clips of The Big Bang Theory where they take out the laugh track? I don't think the idea of "doing a great job" will come through to Trump without immediate, positive, audience reaction. I think he'll take the silence in a negative way, even though he would know way ahead of time there will be no audience. Also, how will his core group know when to cheer or boo at home without some kind of cue provided? They'll think Trump bombed too, we can't have that.

Good grief I’m starting to get depressed Yeah, I don't understand her being in consideration at this point. It's not to say she isn't qualified but I don't know what she adds to the ticket that Harris, Val Demings or Brown wouldn't don't and they have all be in campaigns among a lot of other things I prefer.

visionary Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm not crazy about Rice, but I gather it goes to Biden wanting someone he's comfortable with and ex-Obama admin folks know they mesh well together. It's possible he might want to avoid the back and forth of various political camps and pick someone he knows and trusts. On the other hand she would likely piss off the right and the left and do little to excite those in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Harris dismantle Pence's fake ****ing ass. She needs to be ruthless on his ass. I know this is the prevailing thought here. On the issues there is no way Biden loses to trump on the merits of their pans and approach. However, trumps entire plan will be to make Biden look weak, both mentally and physically. He will bully him the entire time, taking cheap shots with lies and making personal attacks. In most cases I would say bring it on. But we know Biden has a tendency to misspeak. I agree ti's generally a big deal nor should it be in most circles. But one gaff, one misstep, one time he says the State of Chicago, or 140M have died from Covid or any other mistake and he will be portrayed as weak mentally. That will be in every Republican ad moving forward. Worse, no matter how many times trump does the same thing, it will always be, well that's just who he is. One advantage is that there will not be anyone in the audience to break rules and give trump the applause he so yearns for. That will also keep Biden on path. I hope those who think a debate is a good thing here are right. I just think the more you let trump hang himself and the less you give voters of biden to dislike the better his chances are being elected. The second part of your comment about Harris/Pence - i am certain Harris would eat Pence alive but for me that is a dead ticket. She delivers no part of the electorate that helps you win. In fact she will alienate the progressives and at least some part of the black vote. I think he needs to look elsewhere. Warren, Demmings, Duckworth all better options. Although I still would prefer Warren as head of DOJ. She could have a huge impact on America - more so than being VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We create the dumbest **** to be upset about and nitpick to death. In the meantime the GOP has a super racist POTUS, with a abuse of power AG and a fake ass Christian VP. So-called progressives seeking perfection are wearing thin with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
