2020 the battle of the septuagenarians - Trump vs Biden, Part 2

The nonsense that Trump will destroy him creeps up again.

There isn’t a politician in America that would ‘destroy’ Biden in a 1v1 debate.

He prepares like very few politicians in the US, down to the minute detail. He interrupts, he makes them uncomfortable and knocks them off their stride. As well as that, if someone makes a claim that is absolute bollocks, he never leaves it alone.

This isn’t another Hillary Clinton. Plus, there’s also the small matter of Trump having a four-year Presidency which he needs to defend.

Trump goes off rambling every public appearance..

How will Trump destroy the Dems? Explain

Voters picked Biden not the Democrat party. In fact Biden spent no money during the primaries and still blew away candidates who spent heavily.

Yes. He's "not a Trump supporter" but thinks that the odd slip-up by Biden is comparable to the nonsensical ramblings of a Donald that always thinks he's at a campaign rally.

It's a bit like comparing apples to Orangemen!

I would have agreed a few years ago, but Bidens decline is obvious.

Sure, there's a decline as ever by age but he doesn't get distracted by flies and go away with the fairies ranting about sharks.

The US system, shítty as it is, pits two people against each other for the presidency. That gives people a binary comparison. One can agree that Biden has declined a bit but that's nothing in comparison to the guy who's ramblings baffle translators.

It's a question of scale.

Unfortunately Batman isn't real, Abraham Lincoln is dead and Martin Sheen isn't really a politician.

After the Primaries, Biden came out on top. I'd have preferred Warren or Buttigieg or even Yang but primary voters went with Biden. If you were ever driven around by a drunk crazy fecker high on meth, you'd love to replace him with an old, sober, boring butler.

That's Biden. Boring but competent.

You’re suggesting that a man who spent his entire political life (long before you or I were born) raising awareness about stutters never even had one, and demanding that he (or we) show evidence.

You think because you had a speech impediment you can decide who has one and who doesn’t? No, it’s people like you who are the ones that would make up such a lie so you can present yourself as an expert and make all of us feel guilty for calling you out on it.

Get down off your high horse. You’re another one of these people who sow the seeds and when it’s called out for the bull**** that it is you play the victim.

So yes, go and get a life.

few things...

has he spent his whole political life raising awareness about stutters. if he did, kudos. that's not the debate though.

people are alluding to the fact that he has always had a stutter. i was simply looking for evidence. if yes, thats easy to prove me wrong.

none of us are experts. But the least people can ask for is evidence of something.
so please, prove me wrong. it should be easy.

as did i.

still have the copy books (parents still have) at home where i went to a speech therapist and was thought how to pronounce 'r'. Still cant, mind you. i look at them every so often and try to work through the exercises.. :pac:

thats not the debate though - you can appreciate that?

stuttering in old age (when previously there was no stutter before), is a sign of mental degradation. Can you acknowledge that?

Once again, a person who had a stutter where it still occasionally resurfaces isn't a sign of mental degradation. Speech therapy can train it to be managed but there's still an element of ongoing management of it in later life. That's gonna apply even more so for a person who publicly speaks.

To use an example, there are two scenarios where it resurfaced for me. When I was a teen, I was bullied intensely. It manifested. Then I did a public speaking thing as part of my job and it resurfaced again. Neither were signs of mental degradation. Biden's surfaced at times but he's got a strong handle on it. That's what it amounts to.

You're inventing conspiracies about him never having a stutter. It's a pretty stupid talking point.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we soon get to the stage where Joe has to prove his first wife and his daughter were killed.

All I know is, for someone who doesn’t have a stutter, he knows everything there is to know about what it’s like to have one, and how to help kids get over theirs.

But yeah, show the medals.

This is up there with the GAA suggesting Dr Ronan Glynn didn’t have evidence to back up the public health advice of clusters among people meeting up to go to GAA games.

I had a speech impediment from childhood that included stuttering. Signs of it still show up in my speech at times but in general, nobody would be even about to guess. It's also more likely to surface when under higher stress etc. Which this would be far greater stress than any other point politically for him.

Will Trump release his medical records? Especially seeing as he has made two unexpected and unannounced visits to hospital in the last few months?

Also, would a stammer for over 50 years even be on someone's medical records? Is a stammer a medical condistion?

It's a medical condition to a degree but would only really have surfaced on school records I imagine. So really they should be asking for Biden's speech and language therapy records. Which is obviously a very silly demand. Don't believe any previous president has been asked to divulge such info. :P

Can someone please explain what the fcuk a stammer has to do with a) the mans mental competence? and b) His ability to lead? Or anything else for that matter!

i agree TBH.

JB could resolve this so easily with releasing his medical records, don't you agree?

wasn't that joe's shtick's regarding trump and tax returns?... 'if you've nothing to hide, release them'?

Sort of like trump and his tax returns?
