    Someone tried to kill Trump at a rally. He still does rallies. Someone tried to kill Trump on a golf course. He still golfs.

    Trump would rather be shot at again than have to face Harris on the debate stage. You quickly find out that bullies are actually cowards once you see someone stand up to them and punch them in the face.

      Hey, that’s an offensive stereotype about seniors. I work in elder care, specifically in food service, and I can assure you they don’t have dinner at 3:00pm. Dinner is at 4:30pm.

    The campaign should make a totally over-the-top AI video of Trump in a chicken suit running away from CNN HQ (or Taylor Swift in the US Flag outfit she was wearing in the bogus Trump AI endorsement). Make it totally clear that it is a fake AI stunt, yet spam it to all the social media anyway. Throw in Vance lounging on a La-z-boy for good measure.

    Calling these fascists out on their real racist policies doesn’t see to work as well as simply making fun of them. They can’t stand it when people mock them.

      They released a video of him trying to weasel out of the debate last time around with a chicken clucking sound. On TruthSocial as well as Twitter.

      I’ll do you one better: they should reproduce his likeness like a holograph standin thing and have the debate whether he likes it or not. Grab him by the—well, you know what I mean

    For real, they need to schedule it earlier in the day before his adderall wears off and he turns into a wall-eyed stammering zombie

      We need to go back how it was before it was televised…

      Now you can just ramble for 90 seconds, and everyone moves on.

      Back in the day there was no time limit. Moderators asked a question, and just kept asking it till the candidate answered or admitted they had no clue how to answer. The debate might take an hour. It might take 12.

      It’s crazy we’re still letting the limitations of broadcast television take precedence.

          Shit man, we have CSPAN for a reason, but yeah…

          Without ads there’s no reason not to let literally anyone that wants to run the stream. Especially if they went far enough to require it be a complete Livestream without anyone talking over it.

        True, but he still needs to relax and unwind by making all caps posts on Truth for 3 hours. Probably upends his morning routine of rolling out of bed at 10AM for a noon tee time

    The full quote from Trump was:

    It’s too late to turn back now.
    I believe I believe I believe I’m falling in love.

      I thought it was-

      And it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
      Though we really did try to make it
      Something inside has died
      And I can’t hide and I just can’t fake it
