Trump agrees to debate Kamala Harris on Fox News
CardinalBacker replied to thetragichippy's topic in Political Forum
No true conservative would vote for trump after what he did to our debt. -
Trump and Rudy promised proof…. By certain dates. Those dates came and went… four years later and still nothing.
-
I’m still waiting for him to turn over that proof of election fraud he promised almost four years ago. 🤣😂🤣

I’ve explained this to you before. Nobody thought Biden would make it through his term, meaning that Kamala would likely become President because Biden had to step down. And they voted Biden/HARRIS anyways. 81 million times, if my memory is correct. And they’ll do it again, as long as she’s not a sexual abuser like Mr “grab ‘em by the ______.”

If your grandpaw was a decent man he wouldn’t have excused Trump’s behavior. The Rs lost the moral high ground when they got in bed with a lying, rapist, con artist, cheater, would-be despot with the initials DJT. -

I have no proof the Easter Bunny doesn’t exist, either. But only a moron would walk saying “Well… I think the Easter bunny is real, and unless you can prove otherwise, I’ll go to my grave believing that Peter Cottontail exists. Y’all are the dummies for not believing, too.” Thats one thing about outlandish claims and fairy tales. Most of us realize that they can’t be proven and give up on the dream. Stupid people don’t. The other thing is that the person MAKING the outlandish claim is tasked with providing evidence that the claim is true. Somebody never did any debating back in school, I see -

But they keep taking the Rs to the woodshed because have a love affair with a repugnant candidate. Trump 2028? -

Even if I believed your tin-foil hat theory about how Fauci and the Dems “did the pandemic just go hurt Trump,” I’d still have to ask “why did Fauci stay employed?” His boss must have been a fool. -

Yeah, but one of us sounds reasonable and the other sounds like Chicken Little. My guess is you were for the vaccine before you were against the vaccine, too. -

So… the democrats created a disease in China that killed millions of people across the world and wrecked the global economy for a couple of years, just to stop a man who couldn’t even beat Biden/Harris? Jeez… if that’s true, Trump should run again. He’d win bigly. lol. -
His supporters will just say that he used hyperbole and exaggeration. I’m sure Reagan is on X right now looking for a picture of Trump standing next to a helicopter so he can offer it up to us as proof that Trump has never told a lie. In all fairness, I’m surprised that this hasn’t been an issue up until now. Trump still believes that the election was stolen, etc…. He has had a break with reality since losing in ‘20, and the strain of the self-inflicted legal problems since has taken a toll, no doubt. I think he believes that retaking the Presidency is the way out of his current mess, and now that he’s faced with the fact that it’s not going to happen, he’ll just melt down mentally. He’ll just continue to exist in an alternate universe where he’s winning.

And the Rs nominated the only person that she can beat. Again… she’s already beaten him once.

But to answer the question… i don’t think they would have reacted any differently than Trump did-and that’s the problem. Trillions were spent by appropriations bills that were signed into law by Donald J Trump. How very un-conservative of him… straight out of the liberal playbook. -

So Trump got handled by Fauci? How’s he going to do against the dictators and despots of the world if he can’t stop a rogue bureaucrat from down the hall? -

We’ve got 35 trillion in debt. 16 trillion of it was added in the last 8 years… most of it on Trump’s watch. He’s not a success story. -
Trump has a floor around 40%… meaning that he will always have 40% of the votes, no matter what. That number is almost identical to the one that the dem nominee will enjoy. Somewhere around 40% of voters will vote for the D candidate “no matter what.” The difference is that Trump’s ceiling is around 46-47%… meaning that no matter what he does, he will never enjoy more support from voters than that. Kamala’s ceiling is probably in the low 50s… meaning if she plays her cards right, she could potentially end up with that percentage of all voters… an easy win. I don’t know if you saw, but Rogan endorsed Kennedy this week. It’s surprising because he’s been a long time Trump supporter. Asked why, he said that he’s just tired of all of the hatred from both sides, but specifically from Trump. The real problem is the same as it’s always been… trump is emboldened by his supporters to behave poorly. They don’t just condone his repulsive behavior, they support it. But that’s a powerful motivator for people who don’t like Trump. People didn’t vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. It doesn’t even matter what Harris does or doesn’t do… Trump‘s behavior, words, actions, and personality will make sure that people turn out to vote against Trump. Don’t blame people who won’t overlook bad behavior as the problem, when the actual problem is the behavior itself. The border, inflation, wars, socialist policies, etc… there at a ton of things that would seem to be bad for Harris… but at the end of the day, she’s not Trump… and that’s enough. But we knew this going in, and we re-nominated him anyways. People who voted for trump in the primaries hoping that other people would abandon their morals/principles to vote trump was just stupid.

Not really… it’s a winning strategy. She’s firmly in control, why risk self-inflicted damage? When she eventually does go on the record, she’ll either regurgitate her extreme leftist views, or she’ll backtrack towards the middle and open herself up to cross-examination over her shifting views. She’s fortunate that she doesn’t have to do much to win… just be “not Trump” for most voters.

If you wait on a check from the govt to buy your milk, bread, and prescriptions, you’re a socialist, enjoying the benefits of a socialist give-away. Social security was a government-sponsored Ponzi scheme, and you just want as much as you can get, then screw everybody else. Social security payments weren’t an investment. There was no rate of return on your contributions, and no compounding of interest like there is with actual investments. 3.3% of your annual income for Medicare? At $50k a year for 40 years (and I’m certain you didn’t average 50k for your entire 35 year career, you’d have contributed 57k for health insurance thanks to you and your employers contributions to the Medicare system. That won’t forever a a single ambulance ride and weekend in the ICU in 2024. You’re sucking the government teat, Pawpaw. Don’t even get me started on social security. The only people who don’t inordinately profit on Social Security are the ones that die before they can draw. EVERYBODY ELSE is just a welfare queen, drawing more than they paid in. We all know the SS trust fund is going to go broke within 12 years. Do you support a 50% cut in your benefits so that other have also contributed, but are not yet eligible to draw, might at least get something, too? Nope… because people who think like you are socialists, expecting something for nothing and not giving a single care about those who are coming behind you. The Baby Boomers single-handedly destroyed America with their greed and selfishness.

Nothing says “I’m out of touch with geopolitical realities” like expressing one’s belief that communism is a threat in 2024. The Cold War ended about 30 years ago, Grandpaw. Nothing makes you sound more ancient and out-of-touch than trying to insult people by accusing them of belonging to a group that no longer exists. And to be quite honest, the biggest group of socialists that we have in America today survive bedside they live on the aptly named “Social Security.” “NO!!!! That’s MY money!!! I earned it!!!” No sir, Cecil. You might have earned it, but you also elected leaders that blew it all. It’s gone, and nobody owes you squat. Get a job, pawpaw.

Harris picks Tim Waltz as her running mate
CardinalBacker replied to Bobcat1's topic in Political Forum
Trump wasn’t lying when he said that he could shoot somebody in broad daylight on 5th Avenue (I think) and his followers would still vote for him. For once he told the truth as his followers have proven him right, voting for him no matter what evil deeds he does. But the flip side of that coin is that people who can’t stand trump will vote for anybody else (in this case Harris/Walz) and there’s no “news” that can be brought out that will change the mind of an “anybody but Trump” voter. Mean Tweets come at a price… Trump and his followers have overdrawn their proverbial account of good will with the American voters. Trump falls to 1-2 in presidential races in November. You heard it hear first. -
Hey, now!!!!

Here’s the thing… Trump didn’t have a great first debate…. He just looked great by comparison to Biden. Harris isn’t Biden. There’s a built in sympathy for her that comes built in with most people because she is female. I mean, misogynists won’t have a problem with Trump’s name-calling, racist taunts, questioning if she’s menstruating, etc… but most normal people are turned off my Trump’s act. She’ll come coached, ready, and able to point out the literal army of skeletons that Trump has in his wake. From corruption to mishandling of documents, the insurrection, the rape, his mishandling of the economy and the pandemic, to his hush money judgments…. She is going to call him out on the sins that his acolytes like yourself overlook. And he WILL implode, just like he did in the first debate off 2020. That’s if she even bothers to debate. I wouldn’t. She’s already whipping him soundly… why should she risk a bad debate? She doesn’t owe Trump or his followers anything. It’s comical to watch trump BEG her for a debate… especially considering how he refused to debate the Republican contenders this year. It’s deliciously funny to see you crying because she won’t debate, when 6 months ago he was refusing to debate. Like I keep saying. Karma’s in the kitchen cooking up something special for Trump and his followers.
