humor, sarcasm and wit seems to fit that bill
AND, shoehorning, "The border crisis" into almost every "answer.
I mean he is not really capable of this. He’s lucky if he shoehorns a noun and a verb into every answer.
Sure he’ll mention the border crisis along side audience sizes, mythical helicopter trips, Hannibal Lecter, sharks…
Hell of a drinking game…glad I don’t drink.
She should try what we sometimes do with trolls:
MODERATOR: Madame Vice President, why do you hate America?
HARRIS: First, do a blind bake of your pie crust. Use your favorite pie crust recipe, but make sure you weight the crust when baking it, so you don’t have it puffed up in the middle with steam bubbles. Next, you’ll want to start making the custard. Start with four egg yolks, room temperature, and whisk them for about two minutes. in a heavy saucepan, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 cups whole milk, and ½ teaspoon salt…
Good plan. I’ve never seen that British baking show but people seem to love it.
That’s why I think she and her smart folk ought to come up with one or two quick intro statements - “Once again, he didn’t answer the question, or say anything of substance. And what little he did say was mostly untrue. Let me address the question with specifics…” And then show how a compentent, intelligent person answers a question.
Just some strategy to acknowledge his BS, but not get drawn into it.
“This is how Donald Trump actually did help the economy – fact-checkers and defense attorneys, but only the fact-checkers (and Stormy Daniels) actually got paid.”
^^^^^
Exactement! As the French would say.
I figure this belongs here: Trump has agreed to three debates (Sept. 10th and two more). Is it unusual to have all three in the same month?
He has agreed with whom?
Exactly. He has agreed with his campaign managers. He certainly hasn’t agreed with anyone in the Harris campaign apart from Sept 10. Three debates in such close proximity to each other doesn’t make a lot of sense. Trump’s just trying desperately to make one happen on Fox where it would likely make him look better, and she’s (wisely) not interested. One debate will be plenty. I think they should keep the audience but mute the mics when the other person is speaking.
I believe the plan is that if he can get Harris to agree to a debate on Fox , on Sept 10 when the ABC debate is scheduled, he’ll suddenly test positive for COVID, or have some other excuse for not showing up. He really doesn’t like the ABC rules.
The debate on Sept 10, on ABC, not Fox, is the only debate both parties have agreed to, even though Trump stated he would not attend, despite the fact he had agreed to it with Biden. The bullshit Sept 4 debate on Fox, with Trump calling all the shots, Harris has wisely not agreed to, and letting people know after the Sept 10 debate if there would be another, thereby putting the kibosh on any chance of the Fox debate. She wasn’t born yesterday.
The imaginary Tribble on his head.
He said he wouldn’t attend it, then later changed his mind.
Just to clarify matters; I assume you knew that but your post was a bit ambiguous.
I can’t help but wonder if Trump’s announcement of the “other two” debates is something that the networks did agree to, but Harris didn’t.
Because …
Trump is a ratings boondoggle for the networks. It may be that Trump feels there’s a better than even chance that Harris won’t show up, and that the networks will give him 60-90 minutes of uninterrupted air/rage time.
And if she does show up for either or both of the two pending debates, he may still like his chances. After all, filibustering with pure bullshit and absolutely no substance … is his native tongue.
Why, one would expect the networks to be just giddy with the news of an agreement for additional debates that were agreed to by agreement.
They’ll probably have something to say any minute now.
Fair enough. Only one date that I am aware of that both parties have agreed to. So far. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the only one.
I totally agree with you.
