Unlike Biden's personal account, which despite repeated insistence from both him and his staff that he was the only one using it, tweeted multiple times during the live debate.

Well, that explains everything then! Everyone knows you can't debate properly while you're on twxtter! What a classic blunder!

Tbf, can't you now schedule posts now? Though you are probably right. It's Stan Lee all over again.

Democrats don’t even play fair during the freaking DEBATES (which is supposed to be their strong suit?), let alone the election itself.

Depends, did leftists see how bad Biden was on TV so tried to hack into Trump's twitter to make it say some crazy shit but got it restricted?

Or did Elon/Trump's campaign think that was a possibility and decided to restrict it as a precaution?

As that 'debate' showed, getting Trump to speak less is WORSE for the Dems, I mean they are constantly dumb enough to try that but they are prone to lie about him so hacking his twitter ain't a huge step.

Could be another, I'm just thinking if ALL the dumb things leftists would do in response to everyone seeing Breakfast at Biden that might trigger an automated restriction response.

I would not be surprised. The Left loves dirty tricks.

To be precise, 'Trump War Room' is different from Trump's personal account - which he hasn't used since he was banned except for tweeting out his mugshot.

Speaking of which, there's nothing that I love more that something that should have been a rallying point for his opponents became one for his supporters.

One of Trump's strongest boons is the fact that his opponents are so extreme, and his supporters so distrusting of everything, that it ends up with nearly half of his wins coming from his opponents.

Like the mugshot all the way to the "convicted felon" thing has only made him more popular. And they gave it to him on a plate.

The convicted felon one was a missed opportunity during the debate:

Biden: "He's a convicted felon."

Trump: "At least I was ruled competent to stand trial."

He also missed a major call-back:

Biden: "He put kids in cages."

Trump: "Who built the cages, Joe? You still haven't answered since last time."

Trump: "Who built the cages, Joe? You still haven't answered since last time."

Plus who still keeps them going even now? Oh right, Joe is the answer to basically both parts of that! 🙄

Honestly, I despised Trump say 9 years ago, but these people wouldn't stop lying about him and his supporters.

that it ends up with nearly half of his wins coming from his opponents.

I think if they had treated him normally, he would be gone from the political scene by now. The American political system is such that he would have failed to deliver on his promises, and he would have had nefarious actions of his opponents to blame.

Like the mugshot all the way to the "convicted felon" thing has only made him more popular. And they gave it to him on a plate.

I'm not sure of that one. This is certainly true of die-hard supporters, but what about independents? It seems that he tanked ever so slightly after the conviction, but then again, I just saw a poll that showed Biden gaining 1 pt after the debate. There's no explaining any of this.

Possibly. He would still have a lot of supporters, probably enough to keep him trying (unless his ego got bored from being not popular enough), but certainly not to the level where he is bigger than every Right candidate combined and showing a real chance to push Biden out.

This is certainly true of die-hard supporters, but what about independents?

I think you underestimate how little the common American has faith in the system, and how much meme power effects our perception. I know at least two dudes (Mexican and Black) who openly talked about how gangsta he was now after both those events. Guys who weren't die-hard, just regular middle of the road. Same with a handful of people who've basically gotten so burnt out from the nonstop TDS screeching that you can easily see them not believing it anymore.

So based on my anecdotal evidence, from talking to real people, he is absolutely way more popular than he was in 2020 after part of that is directly factored from his "crimes." I don't trust the people conducting polls to be truthful, nor do I think a lot of people have shaken the "stigma" of supporting him off to admit it even in an anonymous poll.

Perhaps those polls are a better reflection of reality, but from where I'm sitting he seems to be rising each time a "breaking news HE IS FINISHED" thing happens.

Polls from the american media are largely to entirely manufactured propaganda. Polls showed hillary winning 2016.

Polls are the definition of manufactured consent.

Yeah I mean if you think about it, why would "X% of people think this" ever be newsworthy, beyond a trivial curiosity? I can see companies and political campaigns polling for their own private purposes, but if those polls are released it can only be for the purpose of manipulation. (normalization or denormalization of an idea)

The debate went according to plan.

It was a public humiliation ritual to force Biden to step down and replace him with Newsom (or some younger more palatable establishment puppet).

That's why Trump trod lightly and resisted the impulse to completely destroy Demented Joe.

Yeah, Newsom may swoop in at the right time, generating enough momentum and publicity that the Trump campaign will be unable to effectively deal with that con artist, but Newsom has weaknesses, as well.

To put it mildly. I seriously doubt the Ds will be desperate enough to substitute this American Psycho for Biden; all Trump has to do is refer to how CA has deteriorated as a direct result of his policies.

The Ds have burned their bridges. Now they can't even use RFK Jr. as a backup. They have nobody.

Meanwhile, the Biden Campaign was actively tweeting excuses for his performance during the debate.

"His cold was bad so his lisp was acting up!"

Either Elon is pandering to the real fascists to preserve all his NASA and military funding or there's still work to do in ferreting out the left over uniparty terrorists still employed by Twatter.

Frankly, it's going to be the latter. They root themselves in like ticks.
