The base reality is having no president would be better than having the defeated hate spreading former president anywhere near the White House.

While debating isn't how the presidency actually works as a job, and that was hard to watch. Biden was mumbling, and Trump was loudly lying about anything and everything.

Hopefully he remembers he's debating Biden tonight and not Obama. I want the GOP to have a legitimate candidate, and not a complete the complete embarrassment that Trump has been so far this campaign.

Don't forget there are plans in place by the MAGA GOP to intimidate qualified voters, who they have racial profiled, to make it more difficult to vote. In Georgia you there are legal consequences for handing some one waiting, in an hours long voting line up, a bottle of water. A better solution would be for the State of Georgia to open up a lot more voting places. Why is the MAGA GOP so afraid of democracy? Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. The defeated former President resoundingly lost in 2020. A decent man would accept that, and a coward would whine.

Unfortunately, it seems that Trump is trying to be a contestant on Putin's re-casting of The Apprentice, which should frighten any gay man in particular, and those who believe in representative democracy in general.

Question. Will the defeated former President try and preempt being a no show for the debate with an announcement about his VP pick? In between whining about the debate rules he agreed as suddenly "rigged". I'd like to be wrong on this.

True. Trump is under Putin's control.

If you ever step out of your MAGA echo chamber you'll find out it's the direction of most polls. Will the swing toward Biden continue? Who knows, maybe it will or maybe it won't. However, politically it's stupid for supporters of the defeated former President to ignore current reality. And continue to do whatever it is you need to do.

I know this is off topic, sorry. And about Mar-o-lago. If the former defeated President thinks the true assessed value of the property tax is $1 billion dollars, why isn't he paying property taxes based on $1 billion dollars instead of $18 million. Everyone else in Palm Beach could get a big tax cut if he did.

The only drug issue that's of any importance is if Biden challenged Trump, the defeated former President, to taking truth serum.

I'll take your comment about @Bingo T Dog as a vote of confidence. Thank you

Yes. As I said before individual polls are going to go up and down. Thanks for demonstrating that. An honest person would have also posted the recent FOX poll which showed the exact opposite, with a swing toward Biden. Both are just individual polls. Neither poll in itself is as significant as all of the polls taken together. And, if you can step out of your MAGA echo chamber for a moment, I'll re-post for you, as I have before, the polling trends from 538. Who Is Favored To Win The 2024 Presidential Election? | FiveThirtyEight And yes, there is a swing toward Biden - at the moment. Will this continue? Who knows, maybe it will and maybe it won't. If the swing toward Biden continues then we'll just have to continue to muddle along with democracy.

If that were true,, that would be an honorable change of work for him.

Lol.

You're a big boy. Get out of your MAGA echo chamber and do your own research work.

Argue with Karl Rove, the conservative mind behind Gingrich's Contract on America. Yes, the trend is toward Biden.

Individual polls go up and down. The trend line at this point whether you like it or not, and it could change of course, is toward Biden beating the former President for a second time. Looking at the headlines on this politics forum reflects the larger American reality, there are Americans who are nervous about Biden, but more Americans HATE Trump. This is reflected in how presidential polls for Biden are lagging behind the Democratic Senate candidates, who are ahead in all of the swing states other than North Carolina. If Biden, at some point, matches the support of his Democratic senate candidate teammates he'll win and we'll have to muddle along with democracy.

I worry about the MAGA cultists who've invested in his DJT media company and are going to lose their money by the former President's con and grift.

Lol. Deflect and distract. If you want to fight you'll have to fight with yourself, and Karl Rove.

If/when the defeated former President starts loosing in the debate is that when he'll finally announce his VP pick? Try to deflect and distract ... again.

As has been reported the trend - the momentum - is toward Biden. Who Is Favored To Win The 2024 Presidential Election? | FiveThirtyEight

I don't like these nicknames that the presidential candidates get called, too much of a diversion from the policies they are proposing, or alternatively not proposing. The trending nickname for the former President "Pudding Don" I suppose is a reflection of both his mind and his body. Even if a nickname is accurate, it's still insulting.

Individual poll numbers will go up and down. The trend is clearly toward Biden at this moment. Everyone relax, if the former President loses again, we'll just have to continue to muddle along with democracy.

At the debate we'll see if the former President continues to talk about getting electrocuted in a boat and eaten by sharks, while Biden talks about the bi-partisan agreement that was worked out to manage the current border issues, that was torpedoed by his followers on the former President's orders. Biden wanted a solution, while all the former President wanted was a campaign issue. Sad. Makes the GOP look very weak.

As long as Trump continues to let America know how nuts he is, the trend against him is going to continue. He's his own worst enemy. It's his former colleagues and/or business contacts who are the ones providing evidence on him. They know first hand how he screws people over. It's the last five polls Biden has won or tied in now. Of course this will continue to go up and down, and next week might be different. There is a trend towards Biden over the last month though. We'll see how the debates go. The more America is reminded of Trump's weakness as a leader, the less we like him.
