*Sigh* You know, after a while this sh*t gets old. Every time an issue comes up, and Traitor Tot tries playing a verbal game of hide-the-salami, that maybe-I-Will,-Maybe-I-won’t bullsh*t, he seems to think that he’s being all sly, and teasing, and the Master Showman dangling his audience, but since he can’t seem to shut his fat, New York mouth, he keeps coming across as what Bill Maher likes to call a whiny. little. bitch.
Trump couldn’t wait to debate Biden, and for good reason. No matter how the debate went, he knew he could pigeonhole Biden to his base, which is all he wanted. In fact it turned out much better for him, or at least so he thought.
But when Biden stepped aside and Kamala Harris took over, whatever his bluff and bluster, Trump was scared sh*tless of Harris. He basically knew nothing about her, had no oppo research, and doesn’t perform well against powerful women, especially women of color. Fortunately there was no reason for him to debate Harris, since she wasn’t a threat to his polling.
But then the worm turned. Now it’s Harris that’s leading most aggregate national polls as well as most battleground state polls. And worse yet, Trump couldn’t crack the national media cycle is he hawked nude digital trading cards of him chasing Stormy Daniels down a hotel hallway. Hell, kids watch the news too. And so, Trump desperately needs this debate.
And the Harris campaign nows it. Which is why they stuck the shiv in by demanding that there be hot mics throughout the debate. Then they twisted the shiv by complaining that the Trump campaign wanted muted mics because Their candidate couldn’t act presidential for 90 minutes. Which I’m sure led to a bitter pissing contest betwen Trump and his handlers.
Which means muted mics.
But apparently Trump’s handlers won this one. Trump announced today, before hawking more useless digital trading cards at $99 a pop that he’d debate Harris on September 10th, under the rules of the original debate. Which means muted mics.
Which when you think about it is kind of senseless. It’s like cleaning up your dog’s mess, bopping him on the snoot with your finger while you intone Don’t do that sh*t again!, and then skritching him behind the ears. If Harris starts kicking Trump’s fat pasty ass, and he gets steamed, he’s only going to yell loud enough to be heard on Mars. Hey, a dog’s gotta howl, right?
But once again the Trump campaign proves that it can f*ck up a one car funeral. In their desperation to keep their imbecile from coming off as a rabid capering baboon on national television, the Trump team spastically fell back on the simplest solution, The rules of the original debate. And in that misguided move, they shot their own candidate in the foot.
Because there is one rule that Traitor Tot would most definitely love to change. And that rule is No studio audience! If you’ve seen Trump on a teleprompter, especially without an audience, you already know that he comes across as narcotized, listless, and dull. Even with the microphones muted in the Biden debate, Trump came across as disconnected and disinterested.
Trump is a showman. He has no plans, agenda, nor even a stray intelligent thought. All Trump has is brainless platitudes, and he needs an audience to let him know whether or not he’s hitting the sweet spot. You can see the evidence of this in the Biden debate, when more than once Trump actually ceded some of his time, and Traitor tot never stops talking. But without applause to stretch out the time, Trump, obviously coached about rambling, ran out of points, as nonsensical as they may have been.
Now, imagine if you will Trump standing on a stage behind a podium, with Kamala Harris across from him, with a hot mic and an audience. When it was Trump’s turn to speak, he could let rip with the zingers, any actual content ignored, and let the response of the audience carry him along. And when it was Harris’s turn to speak, His Lowness could just interrupt with a racist or sexist zinger, and run out the clock on Harris while she waited for the moderator to restore order. And if nothing else, Trump would crack the media cycle with snippets showing his churlish behavior, and a defanged Harris waiting for quiet.
This is a campaign that, when it puts its left foot forward, literally has no idea of what to do with the right foot. I can’t tolerate the mere sight of Trump, and I’m no poly-sci major or seasoned political operative, and even I can see that Traitor Tot’s best shot in a debate against Harris would be hot mics and a carefully salted audience. But these idiots are so busy trying to please Il Douche that strategy and common sense go out the window. These ass clowns deserve to lose.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
“…But these idiots are so busy trying to please Il Douche that strategy and common sense go out the window.”
Kinda like so many of their Russian friends, 12 story windows.
A little counter-counter intelligence goes a long way.
“Only the best.”
“Be the best.”
Just gag me…:)
These republiCON people are ALL incompetent. At any and everything.
Just ask them to explain, oh, say, tariffs. “Gee, trumpie, how is it that all the consumers PAY extra for everything with a tariff? How come it HURTS everyday American workers? Could you please explain how YOUR tariffs work?”
Doh…
I hear you Murf, and I know he NEEDS to show up, but I’ve seen Charlie Brown bust his ass too many times, so I’ll rub my eyes to be sure I’m not dreaming or drunk if I see orangebob shitpants on the stage. I wonder what he’ll do to counteract the amount of Adderall he’ll have to consume not to appear like an old man on his last set of shoe lifts?
OK then – we have another winner: “orangebob shitpants”. A perfect fit.
I have a feeling that whatever chaos he tries, Kamala will treat him as she treated Pence in their debate four years ago….
I think it will be hilarious to watch the mango moron shouting and shit when the mics are muted. He’s going to look like an even bigger idiot.
Thanks, but no thanks. I’m fine with the mics being muted. We’ll have to listen to enough of his BS as it is. I made it through less than five minutes of the debate with Biden. It’s not like he’s going to behave himself anyway. He’s a vile, disgusting thug and that comes out loud and clear. It’s just you have to be a vile, disgusting thug to appreciate him, and there’s going to be no swaying those folks. It’s hard to understand how so many Americans have chosen to go down that dark path.
