B-Man Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) set-up curveball questions on ABC — trump hitting every single one out of the park. The blond on now stated as fact the now discredited "losers and suckers' statement. He absolutely refuted it and is doing so very well. He's honest, and it's hard to refute the truth.

B-Man Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 LARRY O’CONNOR: Stop Lowering Expectations for Biden’s Debate Performance. “I know it’s fun to point out all of the stupid, meandering, and incoherent ramblings Biden exhibits on a nearly daily basis, but could we please stop playing into this narrative that President Trump is going to clean his clock at the presidential debates later this month?” Indeed. Ann Althouse last week: “He is reasonably nimble. He can evade. He’s very evasive. You’ve got to give him that. He’s old and often seems confused, but when cornered, he’s quick to evade.” If Biden can manage two hours of the rote fallback answers he’s been using since the 2012 campaign, it will be spun as a win. Trump’s job — because the moderators won’t do it — will be to force Biden off-script. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then just sit back and listen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Democrats on edge as Biden readies to go after Trump at debate by Amie Parnes Original Article Joe Biden has one major goal when it comes to the presidential debates: Don’t let President Trump get away with a single thing. Aides and allies to Biden say the Democratic nominee needs to be ready to fact check Trump in real time and not let the president get away with exaggerating or distorting his record. And they say he needs to aggressively hold him accountable when the candidates meet on state Sept. 29 in Cleveland. (Snip) There is a palpable fear among some Democrats about whether Biden is up for the challenge, and whether being too aggressive could backfire.

ALF Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Interesting advice for Biden : Debate coach: The best debate advice Joe Biden will ever get To be successful, Biden's going to have to win a "street debate." My teams have encountered more than our share of Trump "style" debaters, and there's only one way to effectively win against them.Control the room. To simplify, it means don't get lost in the weeds of specific arguments. Instead, emphasize attitude. Stand up to Trump. Be assertive. Be aggressive. Be big. In coaching debate and teaching interpersonal communication, there are lessons on how to counter an overbearing opponent such as Trump. And it's as simple as this: If you aren't aggressive back at them (but in your own way), you'll get steamrolled. In those first Republican debates of the 2016 election, for example, national debate champion Ted Cruz was no match for Trump. The best part, and my second style tip for Biden: Quotes. Use Trump's own words against him during the debate. Quote him liberally. In Trump's fun house world, there's always a tweet or previous statement where he contradicts himself. After all, as he can remind Trump, "Those aren't my words. Those words were spoken by YOU." https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/23/opinions/debate-advice-for-biden-graham/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His history of plagarism, lies, racial insensitivity and uncomfortable groping/touching/assaulting was of no concern to the citizens who voted for him then, nor was his unprofessional debate style of interrupting and or guffawing like a swamp mule then. He’s been elevated to heir apparent now, so he’ll get away with anything he does now. I’m not at all certain it’s the slam dunk many feel it will be. Trump isn’t Paul Ryan, but I’d be surprised to see Biden babbling for the entire event. Trump’s line of attack should simply be an extension of what he said recently—he’s accomplished more than in 47 months than Biden has in 47 years. He wins on those terms.

This election will come down to swing voters in several key states. These people voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 but for Trump in 2016. They are people impacted by "izations" of the past 20 years. Globalization and Financialization of the economy. Their lives have been downsized from middle/working class to lower class and poverty through moving their jobs and businesses offshore and by the flow of money into Wall Street and the Banks through Federal Reserve monetary and government fiscal policies. Biden needs to appeal to these voters in a way H. Clinton wouldn't. She went so far as to call them "deplorables". They embraced Trump's vision to "Make America Great Again" and the potential to restore some of their livelihood. Biden also needs to distance himself from the most radical elements of the party and assure voters they will not exert control over the administration if elected. Trump will need to play off this theme and paint a picture of radicals and anarchy being the norm if Biden wins and that he is the choice for those seeking the restoration of order and civility. Trump will also call into question Biden's "mental state" and Joe needs to be on his game. It should make for great entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think is largely irrelevant to the relationship between Obama and Biden when Biden was the second most powerful man in the world. I know who I am voting for and whether or not they hated each other is not my concern. I understand from a dispassionate perspective the question posed, but you’ve now suggested that a guy in office for nearly 5 decades didn’t really have the juice to be impactful enough in his role because he wasn’t president, and now was not essential and/or useful as counsel to President in his role as VP. This approach, should Biden choose to take that path, is a losing strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelosi doubles down that Biden shouldn't debate Trump: 'Why bother?'

Asked during an interview on "Morning on CBS" whether she still believed the former vice president should skip the three scheduled debates, Pelosi said: "Oh, I do. Not that I don't think he'll be excellent. I just think that the president has no fidelity to fact or truth and, actually in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the Constitution of the United States." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-doubles-down-biden-shouldnt-debate-trump 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
