KarenTri is really struggling lately. Does anyone know him in real life? Does he need an intervention?

So you want the debate to be a referendum on the current administration while ignoring the disaster of the previous administration and plans for the next administration?

The presidential election can be won by one electoral college vote.

I certainly hope not. A close popular vote and a 270 - 268 electoral vote with the winner very possibly losing the popular vote, sheesh. I'm sure everyone on the losing side would graciously accept that and we will all calmly move on.

But come January, when the big orange turd is back in charge, you will have no one to blame but you (Nutella) and your rightness, which could have been honesty and a change of course instead.

you might be right, bro.

While you sit there being right the map has expanded to include MN, NM, NJ, and Virginia while NC, GA, NV, and AZ are quickly moving or have moved out of the margin of error.

NC is the only of these the Trump won in 2020 if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think the debates will make a tinker's damn difference one way or the other. I've already talked about Trump's baked in base (97%) and the need for Biden to start to do things to pull his back together (make some EO on the border 9 months ago, be honest about inflation and make some tough changes etc).

That window has closed or is closing fast. The debate is not going to help.

I think Trump needs to show up at the debates. I don't think he needs to do a damn thing while there (probably better if he doesn't) and I don't think anything thrown at him is going to move the needle (in case you haven't been watching your lawfare program lately). I think Carville is right and you all know he's right.

If I was him (and his team) I'd just keep hammering the same points/questions. If these are the designated conditions of the debate I think he should agree to them but not necessarily to how he is going to respond in the debate.

The chances he comes across looking like a dick are 100% as per usual. The chance that anybody even squishy doesn't continue to look at Biden and have questions about whether he's capable of honestly answering the questions is favorable (a small amount) to Trump.

I think the chances of something bad happening with Trump, who yes in fact is currently not in charge of the existing admin, is minimal between now and Nov, and the chances something positive is going to happen for Biden in the next 6 months is far more remote than the chance of something "bad" (see CPI and PPI being touted as something "good").

So, you keep sitting here being right, bro. Wake Nutella up in September to remind him he is right as well.

But come January, when the big orange turd is back in charge, you will have no one to blame but you (Nutella) and your rightness, which could have been honesty and a change of course instead.

And Carville will be up your ass with a big cajun I told you so.

If Trump wins everyone should storm the Capitol Building on January 6th. It's the patriotic thing to do.

But that isnt a debate. That is just an interview about Biden's presidency. Why even invite trump?

There are lots of things to actually debate that include policy. I.E. how do each think foreign policy in Isreal should continue, what should be done at the border, how to fight inflations, lower the deficit, entitlements, abortions stance, etc. Things that go directly to policy its really not that hard to envision an actual debate.

Curious Tyler, lost the inflation quote, but what would trump have done differently with inflation? He was against raising interest rates, he is for raising tariffs, and against immigration. All of which are inflationary.

So what would trump do differently?

I want lower inflation and lower deficits. We aren’t going to get there with tariffs and upper class tax cuts and business tax cuts. Personally Trump’s policies are better for me but not for Americans.

Lowering the inflation and the deficit would be an amazing set of questions. The more policy debates the better. Ideally we would start with immigration, then move to inflation, then deficit followed by tax policy.

I guess the problem with a debate is that a large percentage of the population wielding voting rights would have no clue on what is being debated or the nuances. They'd just hear Trump spew nonsense about Biden, communism, MAGA, Chi-na, Mexicans, immigration and just start leaping up and down and howling in excitement like monkeys, flinging their own shit. It's all rather pointless at this juncture.
