MODERATORS
This is a man who had his party prevent a primary process and will likely prevent debates in what the same people are telling us is the most important election in our lifetime.
You have all the information before you.
Why do you believe this is not undemocratic elder abuse by the Democratic party leaders?
Do you actually believe the 80+ year old man who can't remember the name 'Hamas' is mentally competent? The same man the majority of Democratic voters believe is too old to be president?
Don't piss on my leg and and tell me it is raining.
Had his party prevent a primary process? Do you have even the slightest idea of how presidential elections work? The incumbent president enjoys the presumption of being the nominee as long as they can, and want to, run again. If you didn't understand that the first time around, that's your fault.
10 percent of the States have removed, against the party rules, any candidate other than Biden from their primary ballots.
Despite there being large enough percentages of support for debates, none were held. Debates that Biden absolutely would lose.
I apparently understand primary elections more than you do if you believe the lie about the incumbent being the presumptive nomination means the process isn't required and interfered with by the party.
No, sweetie, you really don't understand the primary process, or how presidential elections work in this country.
Haha and you think he should "debate" Trump?
If Trump wins the Republican nomination, and somehow isn't convicted of a crime that is disqualifying, yes.
That is hour the process in a presidential election works.
On an unrelated note, I'm furious at the Georgia prosecutor. That case was the easiest to win, absent the stupid personal corruption.
So Trump can shout random nonsense the entire time when it isn't his turn to talk about whatever stupid fantasy comes to his head? Ignoring and even making shitty accusations toward the moderator and lying about what he's said in the past and lying about his portrayal in the media? No fucking thank you.
It isn't a required part of the process. It has always been an agreement between good faith actors. There is no good faith in Trump's intention. He didn't just ignore his own party's debates, he held competing programs on another station to try and overshadow them.
If there is stupid personal corruption with the Georgia prosecutors, even in the complaint there is no bearing on the facts and procedure of the case. I hope they let the case continue and open up something separate to investigate those shenanigans.
Of course he's mentally competent. If you believe this partisan hit job, I'd be more worried about your mental competence, to be honest.
Of course?!
This report isn't required, and your not so subtle, idiotic, attempt to frame your opinion as the common one won't work.
A majority of Democratic voters believe he is to old to run, and it comes from seeing him speak.
Get out of here with this 'who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes' bullshit.
Listen to Biden’s interview on Conan O’Brien’s podcast a few weeks ago and come back here and tell me he’s demented. We’ll wait.
And Trump wouldn't engage in any of the debates. The choices aren't very good.
