    An anonymous source in the New York Post. That's the very definition of fake news that Trumpists continue to tell us all about isn't it?
    You are probably wise to not trust New York Post journalists.
    Welcome to the sceptics.

    Looking forward to the debate on Tuesday. I hope it goes ahead but I wouldn't be surprised if Joe comes down with a case of "Corona virus" before it. I simply cannot see how he is going to look good coming out of a debate with Trump. He'd be eaten alive. Does anyone think there is any possibility that Biden will not attend the debate and sometime after that, be replaced by another candidate (Clinton maybe)? I genuinely think this is a possibility.

    You are in for a big surprise I’m afraid.

    A bit like "abolish the police"?

    It seems like others have got there first. But not Biden or any of his team have uttered that. However the trumpettes lick those lies up like its mana from heaven


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,020 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    The topic was asinine phrases that can't be fulfilled. I never claimed Biden said those words but a lot of his voters in this elections support BLM who are actually calling for that. It's not that far removed from Biden.

    No, they're not. Tump literally shouted those phrases

    We'll see. I predicted ages ago that Biden would not go to the debates, I guess if he's there on Tuesday I'll have to admit I was wrong! In a way I hope he is, it'll be epic TV

    Biden will do the debate

    Trump will lose (his fans will never admit this)

    Trump will then come up with some excuse not to do the other two debates.

    Why wouldn’t he be there?

    Trumps town hall was a disaster, Bidens wasn’t.
    Trump couldn’t answer simple questions, he has no plan.
    Biden has.
    Trump sat the whole of it, Biden stood up.

    You actually don’t watch Biden debate. You never have.

    If you did, you wouldn’t be spouting this absolute bollocks. One-on-one, Biden is the best in the business.

    ‘Eaten alive’, such bollocks come from you and your ilk for months has set the bar that all Biden has to do is not drool all over himself and he’ll look great.

    You haven’t a clue what you are talking about. Nothing. You have spoken nothing but nonsense and conspiracy theory horsesh*t about Biden while putting on this fake concern and acting like you’re not a fan of Trump but he’s better than someone who is ever-so clearly in cognitive decline.

    Your game is up. You have been found out like you always are. A spoofer.

    It seems like you've posted this or a variation of this post a number of times in the last few weeks. And this idea that Trump will demolish Biden is laughable. Trump was awful in the 2016 debates, only someone with Trump tinted glasses could say otherwise. I'm really looking forward to the Trumpist excuses on Wednesday morning.

    No I didn’t!
    How weird.

    I knew it was a few weeks ago as I saw it on twitter.

    Look if you say so.

    Definitely hoping Joe makes the debates but i have my doubts the democrats will allow it.

    They're pretty much on the button from an observer of your posts

    Without posting an doctored video or similar, Why do you think they wouldn't 'allow it'?

    Predictions on Biden anyone?

    He was given the questions
    He was drugged up
    It was a hologram/double
    He had an ear piece

    It wasn't Joe, they had Obama dressed up as him, Hollywood elites/liberals sent the best makeup artists they had to make him look like Biden.

    I haven't posted any videos :confused:

    It seems Joe is losing his train of thought a lot more than in the past. Yes he's always been partial to the odd gaffe and that still remains but it's obvious he lingers longer on questions and tends to ramble on a bit without actually making much sense. I'm not in the "he has dementia" camp but i do think he isn't nearly as sharp as the Joe from say 5 years ago.

    Put it this way, Trump can screw up and say stupid things as that's what he does everyone is used to it but Joe is expected to be the "sensible coherent" politician. He doesn't come out of the debate looking just that and he's going to get creamed come voting day.

    There won’t be excuses they’ll just say he won, he’ll say a couple of insults they’ll see the propaganda ignore the actual debate and shout hurrah.

    Trump just tweeted minutes ago.

    “I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???“

    How sadly predictable.
    Getting the excuses in already.

    OK, so rhetoric with zero proof. As for the pauses, You realise Biden has a lifelong stammer right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,887 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    I'd guess most voters have already made up their mind anyway, before the debates.

    After his first campaign and 4 years in office, Trump's schtick is well known so I can't imagine he will pick up a significant number of votes if he performs well, or lose a significant number if he performs badly.

    Biden can probably win some votes if he shows he is not the dementia-stricken shell that Trump-friendly people have portrayed him as.

    But i think the impact of the debates is more limited than people seem to think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,374 ✭✭✭joseywhales


    It's so strange as if the debate is an olympic event. They can take performance enhancing drugs if they wish and they are legal. Same as anyone can. Unless they are operating machinery or there is some other legal obligation. Not that there is any reasonable suspicion of drug usage.

    Only in Trumps mind could performance enhanced debating become a "thing". The fact that anyone entertains it speaks more about them as gullible individuals.

    To be fair, the Dems taking all the best make up artists away would explain why Trump looks the way he does. i.e. like a 5 year old found the make up drawer for the first time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,760 ✭✭✭stockshares


    Trump wants the debates to be drug tested. It's going to be great craic.

    On what demented corner of the internet is this being seriously proposed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    Seriously, wtf is wrong with Trump? That Tweet is absolutely nuts. Going for the conspiracy theory demographic I suppose.


  • Posts: 6,559 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Also in relation to the drug test nonsense. Is he really pushing the nonsensical claim that dementia is easily resolved with drugs. It's up there with secret cancer cures.

    Record setting uneven? Just words that don’t even make sense.
