    This is so tiresome and annoying. His “bad” nickname for her is “smiling Kamala”. Really? That’s your big bad criticism?

    I guess the unsmiling misery of the last 8 is supposed to be status quo now?

      People will hear how he describes it and then see her and realize it isn’t crazy at all, it’s really friendly and welcoming. You can tell she’s really excited and enthusiastic about the job she has ahead of her.

      Trump’s nicknames have always been at a fourth grade level. It appeals to people who don’t read higher than a fourth grade level.

    He’s too senile to change tactics. I’m willing to bet half the reason he chose Vance was because they knew he was going to screw up and say Pence a bunch, and the similarity of pronunciation would give them plausible deniability.

    Why would he? In his fantasy world, Biden is his easy opponent, he’s perfectly innocent and not a convicted criminal at all, he is actually the smartest person alive, instead of just the smartest person he’s ever been. Why would he join us in reality when his imaginary happy place that’s shared by millions of FOX viewers is so much more attractive?

          Give me some 1940s German Tanker chocolate, a bottle of Kentucky bourbon, and a trash bag full of cocaine. I can garuntee you he will gain enough lucidity to recognize that fact, he will also most certainly die while feeling real fucken good.

        Trump seems to think so, considering how he’s already finding excuses why he can’t debate her. And not just like he was preemptively finding excuses for losing before the last debate.

        This time he’s crapping his pants because Biden’s style was politely waiting his turn until Trump finished and then presenting his version of one of the 50 false statements Trump had delivered in rapid-fire mode before.

        So far, Harris gives the impression that she’ll go straight for Trump’s felones.

      No he won’t. He’s already doing a cop out saying he will only debate her if Fox hosts and moderates… Which I believe is impossible since the agreed networks (one of them isn’t Fox) have already been agreed

        An ear wound isn’t a strong image though. If he got shot in the chest, yes that would look “manly”. I don’t see the ear wrapper and think, wow, what a survivor.

          Clearly you have never dealt with a narcissist on a close up basis.

          They could have shot him in the butthole and all of a sudden his wounded heroic butthole would be the chief topic of a lot of conversations. I fully expect he’s not gonna let go of his little ear pad until it’s gone on way, way too long.

    Sometimes, when people get older, they get a little confused. It happens. Donald, he’s getting up there, and maybe he’s just feeling a little confused again. Like that time he mixed up Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi.

    Maybe he should drop out of the race, let someone a little younger and more aware take over.

      Yes, but I do wonder if he did step down would the GOP recieve the same invigoration the Dems appear to be receiving from a different contender.

          It would be a disaster, but if a candidate were to die between the nomination and the election, I think the running-mate would stand-in for the headliner.

          Something like that happened back in 1872, when Horace Greeley died one month before the Electoral College met.

        I was mostly just mocking him, but to take your question seriously… I don’t know. I don’t think it would help the GOP at this point, since Vance would most likely get the nomination, as Trump’s running-mate.

        I don’t think anyone else in the party can draw nearly the same support as Trump, either. Not in the party itself, or from the broader American electorate. Nikki Haley was the only candidate that could possibly do that, but Haley being handed the nomination at the 11th hour would be seen as a Deep-State RINO coup against the dear leader, so she’d loose the base.

        I think it’d also depend somewhat on the nature of his leaving the race. If he was successfully assassinated, that would likely turn the whole election on it’s head. Not necessarily in a way that would get Vance elected, but it would change the dynamics, and the electoral math, in ways we can’t predict. We thought the shooting would hand Trump the Presidency, but nobody even cared. Who knows what would happen if that shot was a couple inches closer. If Trump got sick, injured, or had some sort of catastrophic performance like Biden at the debate? I don’t think that would help the GOP in November, either.

        As for him willingly stepping down, as Biden did, for the good of the nation… Lol, no. He’s not doing that.

        Edit: minor grammar corrections.

      Unlike the Democrats who had not yet put forth a candidate, the GOP has officially nominated theirs. The Democrats could turn the tables and get a successor off the ballots

    Old Sleepy Don rambles incoherently about those competent presidents, Obama and Biden, even if they aren’t running. We need a debate ASAP to see how Harris chews Old Don Poorleone up and spits him out.
