Donald Trump is a LOUSY debater.. He is a bully.. Our people have ideas and can express them

He could not fight his way out of a wet paper bag if it depended on ideas, and knowledge.. all he can do is make smart ass comments and bully people on stage and whoever is asking the questions at the debate..

Our people at the debates need to be able to get their ideas out.. and more importantly their criticism of the Trump administration..

Trump is going to sway that fat backside of his all over the stage.. look down his nose and make snide remarks or complain people are not being nice to him,


There is not one person of the 20 who will be in the debates this week, who will not be a better debater than Trump. What we do want to know, is can our people push back on Trump. He is not a debater in any sense of the word.. but he is a world class bully

Whoever the nominee is they need to ask him if his policy is just making fun and insulting people. Moderators also need to call him out when he starts ranting and doesn't answer the question because he doesn't have a clue about anything.

our 2020 candidate does not take the high road and ignore his insults. The best way to beat a bully is to stand up to him. Trump is going to be infuriated when our nominee hits him back, especially because our nominee, whoever that turns out to be, is going to be smart about it as well as tough.

Trump was an idiot but owned a stage repeatedly that was filled with other Republicans. We can think he did poorly compared to Democrats, but people who like him judge him by a whole different one-of-a-kind standard, authoritarian right wing nationalist thing.

behind Clinton and the incredible amount of times he interrupted her are not allowed. I wish there could be guards right off stage ready to sit his ass down especially if our candidate is female. He's gonna do it again. How I wish every time he interrupts he's docked time and our candidate gets that time taken from him. There has got to be a better way of running the debate instead of allowing for those creepy sexist mess of debates.

25. Joe Biden's childhood struggle with a stutter: How he overcame it and how it shaped him
Mon Sep 16, 2019, 06:24 PM
Sep 2019

Joe is very well equipped to take on trump the bully



Valerie Biden Owens, the former vice president’s younger sister, says that one lasting impact of his childhood stutter is that it has given him more empathy and compassion for others’ trials, and it uniquely equips him to handle Trump’s taunts.

“Trump is a bully, and Joe has been standing up to bullies his entire life,” Owens said in an interview. “Joe’s stuttering, I think, is one of the principal reasons — a major, major, major reason — that he is the good and compassionate and kind man that he is.”

About 3 million Americans suffer from the speech impediment of stuttering, marked by involuntary repetition of sounds, syllables or words. According to the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, most children outgrow their stutter, but for 25% of them, stuttering is a lifelong challenge.

Biden has overcome the serious stutter of his youth, but remnants of it resurface on occasions such as when he is very tired, he said in a 2016 speech. Experts on stuttering who follow him closely say they have noticed it on several occasions during the campaign, such as an interview on “The View” when he addressed complaints about his tendency to touch and hug women while campaigning, and an April speech in Pittsburgh launching his campaign, when he struggled with words.

But they don’t. Most people can’t even comprehend nuanced policy details and couldn’t care less about them. The general public likes a show, projected strength and bullshit. Standing up there in a professorial manner ticking off details is boring, long headed and condescending to much of our slack jawed populace. You have to keep it simple and outperform Тяцмр on optics. Mocking and laughing at him, diminishing him as a man and getting his ire up while keeping your cool is the way to beat him.

Biden is the man for that.
