    Can't see many, if not all his base caring tbh, maybe they're all colour blind or something

    Haha that's the one thing they very much aren't. :D

    When the pressure comes on, people reveal their true colours, that's exactly what happened.

    How do you feel about Biden saying Trump called dead troops "losers"

    You think that's okay?

    But sure it gets the headlines and that's the main thing:

    Well the debate sounds like it was the sh1tshow we all expected. How many voters are actually swayed by these debates?

    Absolutely none i'd say. If i was an American i would feel ashamed that's the best my country could provide.

    Max 1 in 5
    40% always gonna vote Red
    40% always gonna vote Blue
    20% maybe flexible, but, at this point, in this campaign, I'd say it's much less than that.

    Biden. Hands down.
    But it was a sh*tshow.
    Trump refused to denounce a White Supremacist organisation.

    Given it was corroborated by I think 4 sources, and Trump lied about the circumstances surroundingthe claim, I think he was right to point it out.

    I only woke up about an hour ago, but the level of upsetedness (if that's even a word!?) by Trump supporters here and elsewhere gives me a strong impression that Trump lost and they are aware of it, even if they'll ramble at lengths to try and avoid facing up to the fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭circular flexing


    I was honestly surprised to learn that Trump has a debate prep team.

    The FBI has said that the description of the proud boys being white nationalists was due to a misunderstanding. The SPLC classiefied them as an alt-right fight club. Their chairman looks a bit brown to be a white supremacists.

    Yes, but there is an implication in the question, as you well know, and besides, Trump done what you suggest and answered affirming that he has disavowed such people before but it's never enough for the liberals who really have no interest in him condemning white supremacists, they're just after a sound byte they can use to run headlines such as:

    So what are you saying? Trump is self-sabotaging? What exactly is your argument here for Trump not doing it right there on national television? "They hope I won't answer so then they can report it so I'm going to not say it so they can get what they want"? Is that your argument?

    You really need to listen ...

    Trump has condemned white supremacists over and over and over again. It's a phony "question" which Wallace has asked him before. The liberal media have no interest in him condemning white supremacists as labeling him a wacist is much too important to them which is why they never repeat the times he has contemned white supremacists before.
    "Proud boys step back and stand by" sounds more like approval and saying he'll call on them if he needs them. It is not a disavowal of any kind and he actively avoided saying "white supremacists".

    Any of these "sources" on the record? Of course not.

    Meanwhile we have Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and others (who were there) all saying it never happened.

    And like I keep saying, would you and people like you accept an anonymous sources accusations story about Biden saying he called dead troops "losers"?

    Of course you wouldn't but yet here you all are doing just that rather than have to admit that Biden is pushing salacious gossip whilst effectively using his deceased son as a prop to give his sanctimony a sense of legitimacy. It's abhorrent.

    IT was a bit of a clusterfu..but IMHO I'd just give it to Trump. Hopefully the next debate will be a better one

    Proud Boys aren't White Supremacists and he's disavowed Duke and those who are.

    Four years of trying everything to bring him down and now we're back to racist accusations.

    This is tiresome.

    Trump was asked about white supremacists generally, and immediately jumped to the proud boys. Why do you think that is?

    Because they are widley but erroneously called white supremacists?

    So by that logic if they're not white supremacists, he couldn't even ask white supremacists to stand back. So didn't hit any level of being critical of them. That's making it worse rather than better, Pete. Although it sounds like Trump thinks the proud boys are. You doubting his intelligence?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭Carfacemandog

    Which would mean Trump was also calling them white supremacists.

    This was predicted a few days ago. All those Trumpists must feel rather silly this morning that they swallowed the Biden has dementia angle so much. We won't see much from them this morning until the talking points are agreed and released later on.

    You're right actually. Kind of sad. They'll probably double down.

    no need to double down on anything .

    Trump won the debate , mission accomplished.
    Now Trump goes back to work and back on the gruelling campaign trail.
    Joe goes back into his basement for the next 3 days to recover.

    It was a great debate.

    Trump 1 - Chris Wallace & Joe Biden 0
