The links I've found from the debate.
The presidential debate is making reddit shut itself down.
60% of voters want Biden to be replaced.
Four things learned from the debate. Big one, Biden looks awful. Second one, Trump just lied without being corrected all the time.
Barak Obama tries to save Biden on Twitter. Responses are not happy.
Biden’s family encourages him to keep going after debate defeat.
Biden in 2019 vs 2024
Half the time. But they themselves up for that. With equal time and no interruptions,. just hit Biden with a different accusation every 10 seconds during your time. He'll try to respond to one of them, poorly, in his time and look like he didn't want to discuss the others.
There's no debate format where he doesn't lose except maybe where you have Trump vs. a panel of moderators while they keep the camera off Biden - which is what the left is used to.
No one watches a fucking presidential debate for logical and convincing arguments since radio fell out of favor during Nixon vs. JFK. It's fake pro-wrestling bullshit, and Trump has more experience in that arena.
Yup. Trump's a showman first and foremost. Anyone who doesn't get that is doomed to lose to him in anything where charisma can carry.
I don't think he had a chance in hell of winning the office, but I would have loved to see a Trump vs. Ramaswamy debate. I think he was the only one of the Republican candidates who may have had the spine to understand that the way you beat Trump in a debate is to be Trump but smarter. You call him some names, you shout over him, you assert your dominance just as strongly but you aim your shots at his weaknesses.
Make a dumb face, mock his "I had the greatest. The world's best" and follow it up with an attack on his history of surrounding himself by yes men who tell him he's the greatest while he fumbles around in the dark. Or give an explicit plan for something, wait for his vague reply, then jump down his throat.
I really don't understand how none of the other candidates have figured it out. That's actually why I consider Newsom the biggest threat. He's a complete and total sleezeball, but he has a showman (well, a used car salesman) side too and he lies as well as Trump. Fucker holds up his time as mayor of San Francisco as if it were a positive thing while lying through his teeth. He's in his 50s, he speaks well, women will vote for him because he's attractive, he's well-connected, and his policies are the worst of the worst. He's a huge threat.
Which election was it that the big takeaway for Obama and his voters wasn't that "his policies were bad" but that "he lacked zingers." I think it was 2012 versus Romney.
So they are well aware that its all theater to make clickbait over with spicy one liner quotes, they are just mad they are running the least viable guy for that possible versus the best.
I find it pretty unlikely that Biden is replaced. He hasn't been running the show at the White House since inauguration day. Whatever group is pulling the strings did it out of necessity at first, but now they like being President. Biden's condition isn't a problem for them its a benefit so long as they can push him across the finish line. Harris will back the current admin publicly because its her only shot at being President: the DNC will have a hard time oustering a minority woman. Add in the fact that the Shadow President(s) would be right about the dangers of changing horses right now and you ensure Biden will be the nominee unless he dies before the convention (an actual possibility in my opinion).
The problem is that Biden has done such an actual bad job during his term that even his own base isn't capable of being fully fed the line of shit from the DNC about how awesome he is. Him going up there as an embarrassment after 2 really toxic wars (for his side, they are still hugely divided on it) and inflation bad enough that it was noticeable is enough to actually shake their hold on people.
So its less about what his group wants, and a question of "do you want to even have a chance of winning?" by keeping him running. That is of course ignoring how much they will cheat.
It's hilarious how hard the media tries to gaslight people about inflation.
"We're not in a recession! Look, the S&P500 reached a new all-time high! The CPI is going down! The economy is fine! STOP FUCKING WHINING!!!"
"Gas went down FIFTEEN CENTS! Biden Economy is working!!!"
I'm just updating when I find them for today.
