You are not right. Watch his town hall. Watch his various interviews. Please don’t assert things when you have no actual idea about the reality of the situation. It’s not an honest way to discuss things.
This is obviously false. He certainly had meaningful questions in the debates.
It’s especially asinine to assert what @magiver did when Trump threw a tantrum after moderate questioning at his 60 Minutes interview.
They don’t play those on Magiver’s choice of media outlets. And what he has not seen, must not exist.
I know conservatives who claim to not know about the, “Grab them by the pussy” tape. It’s astonishing how generally ignorant RW media fans are.
Oh, shush. You’re interfering with his chosen reality.
QED
If you define “meaningful questions” as “questions Joe Biden hasn’t been asked”, then Joe Biden hasn’t been asked any meaningful questions.
I mean, Biden hasn’t thrown a childish tantrum like Trump did at 60 minutes, so his questions must be easier.
What’s the point in going to a rally??? I know who I’m voting for. I knew that I would vote against Trump before Biden was nominated. There was know one a smidgen as bad as Trump up for the Dem nomination. Same for the Republican’s. The got the very, very worst guy they could find in 2016.
Rally’s are pointless ventures.
This is the same logic that accounts for the fundamental unfairness that Republican social media posts keep getting flagging for spreading disinformation but few to no Democratic ones do - clearly it must be bias on the part of the social media sites. Because the alternative is unacceptable.
*Rallies. That is all.
The best (paraphrased) line I saw at Reddit:
Trump want us to give him 4 more years as president, but he can’t stand 60 minutes…
You got something against fast food?
I should have said rallies are pointless vultures.
That’s pretty good.
Such as a sitting US Senator
I went to a couple back in 2008 and 2012. There are a number of reasons to go.
One is that there are downballot speakers there. I got to know some of the other politicians that would be on my ballot. They are not quite as secured and insulated as the presidential candidate, so they can circulate among the crowd. I had some interesting conversations with some of my local pols.
Plus, they can be fun. You get to hang out with a big crowd of similarly minded people, cheer for the people you want to be in charge of our governance.
They are not worth doing in an age of a pandemic, or really even if they are inconvenient or out of the way.
Others have beaten me to it, but they also have terrible fries.
Maybe conservative senators were always stupid, but it really seems like the bar is way lower than it used to be.
We’ve watched enough Trump rallies over the past four years to know they don’t even have to try anymore.
I like what former President Obama said: Trump is jealous of the media coverage that Covid-19 is getting.
I went to a Clinton rally in 2016 and it was a great experience. Hillary wasn’t there, but Michelle Obama was—she is a fantastic speaker. Our state’s governor and one of our senators spoke too. I got to meet a guy who later became governor. It was a lot of fun—hell, even standing in the long, slow-moving line to get through security was fun.
Doing them during a pandemic, though, is stupid. The only reason Trump is having rallies is that he has a psychological need for them. He needs to be reassured that his fans love him. He can talk as long as he wants and say whatever stupid shit pops into his head, and he gets cheers and applause. He doesn’t care about people getting sick because the rallies are for him, not them.
