Trump found something he’s really good at. The Gish Gallop technique in a debate. An absolute natural. With no moderators fact-checking, and the opponent with a silenced mic, he just ignores the questions, and lies in rapid sequence like a Gatling gun so his opponent has no chance of responding, challenging, or you know, debating.
A quick-thinking opponent could absolutely counter it. She could say “Hey, Donald, you didn’t answer the question. It had nothing to do with immigration. Let me answer it for you. Your position is X, Y, and Z, which is bad for Americans. Mine is A, B, and C, which is good.”
Can Joe do that?
Well, he challenged Biden again and he wouldn’t accept so…
Biden can’t debate Trump. He’s already proven that. After his little speech tonight, there’s no doubt he’s got dementia. Dems have tried to blame it on a cold, a stutter, and jetlag. Wonder what they’ll be saying tomorrow?
The downvotes are insane. I’m not voting Trump, but I’m certainly not deluded enough to think Biden’s a good candidate. And I’m not going to avoid discussing it because it’s not convenient.
Dogpiling is lemmy’s forte.
Did you watch the press conference? He misspoke a few times but he had a command of the facts and it seemed fine. It was more coherent than any speech Trump has given since he started losing it.
I’m not at all happy we’re choosing between people whose brains are turning to mush but Biden’s press conference was normal enough. He answered the questions and knew policy details.
It’s to bad he gets a lot of those policy details wrong. For one, he claims inflation is going down when it’s not. It’s rising at a slower pace but still not going down. It’s been getting higher every month. He claims the Border Patrol endorsed him and his border plan and that was disputed the following day by the head of the border patrol saying that they didn’t endorse Biden and never will. Liberal news outlets will cover for Joe’s lies though so it’s no surprise that a lot of folks believe the stuff he says
Prices actually did go down last month according to the main index (CPI) the media uses. But there’s no one canonical number for inflation. https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/july-2013/cpi-vs-pce-inflation--choosing-a-standard-measure
I don’t know a fucking thing about border control stuff. But Trump never fulfilled his promise that under Biden, there’d be a taco truck on every corner. Where’s my tacos?!? I have to walk? It’s bullshit.
I thought we’d be getting Trumparito trucks everywhere but he really let me down and went back into politics.
Nobody can debate Trump. He doesn’t debate. He makes shit up.
Kids on playgrounds don’t debate. They just pretend and yell when things don’t go their way. Trump is no different.
People need to stop catering to that clown.
I can say the same about Biden
Yeah, but you can’t.
