Presidential Debate 2024
- Thread starter my-thyme
- Start date
I'm thinking 24 hrs is not too early to start drinking for this. It's likely to be a s**t show.
Lucky me has a Dr. appt at 8:15 Wednesday morning, so I can sleep in.

Power with Control
I'm going to be the contrarian - surprise surprise - and say she holds her own. You know the moderators will coddle her along, so she has that advantage. She also has the advantage that her supporters have extremely low expectations, so it's not like she has to be intelligent or knowledgeable. All she really has to do is keep her cool and not go off on any kindergarten teacher tangents. She'll smile and laugh a lot, and have a couple of zingers in the queue.

She better hold her own. They already managed to get one of their own to "step down" due to a pizz poor debate. Don't think they won't be shopping for another candidate if this one tanks on stage.
Now THAT would be absolutely entertaining to see.
Three candidates for the same party in as many months.
That's the word I was looking for - coasting
She's good at coasting.

I kind of think she will.
I saw - someone - I think it was Doug Schoen - saying she has almost certainly memorized certain talking points, which she will insert without any regard for the question asked. I said almost exactly the same thing - she wants her "moment". She will give lawyerly long-winded NON-answers to questions she fumbles on, but her supporters will be so in awe of, they won't realize it doesn't say anything. And she will insert campaign promises and criticisms of Trump where it has nothing to do with the topic.
And the moderators will not only be ok with it, but they won't PUSH the matter, when it doesn't answer the question.
They WILL push back, on Trump. For his part, he POSSESSES the ability to show "gravitas", that word so overused regarding Dich Cheney - the seriousness that says "price controls don't work, government spending and printing money caused inflation, three and a half years, why should anyone give you more time?". Nope, he's going to brag, and be the showman. Hoping he won't, but he's so cocky, he's gonna wing it.

Little doubt she was spoon fed by network.

Are you kidding? This whole campaign is so manfactured.
I just saw that her website FINALLY added a policy page - lifted verbatim from Joe's page - so bad, it even included a sentence urging Joe's re-election! That's how good their web people are.
But moreover - she hasn't an original thought in her head - and well, it's kind of like cheating, except very lame cheating. Cribbing your assignment from someone ELSE - someone that you've otherwise tried to pretend you're different from -
Sigh - it's pointless.
And we all know you're gonna be hovered over the TV, pants around your ankles, furiously stroking yourself as you watch the Don!
