2024 Presidential Election Thread

You would be 100% correct if the media wasn't already in attack mode before anybody even takes the stage. I don't think it bothers Trump one bit to match energy for energy, or attitude for attitude. 

I will say it again: Trump has no problem with confrontation or hostility.

Kamala does. She won't even stand/sit by herself for an interview from friendly medias. Kind of throws that boss bitch/brat summer schtick right out of the window.

They are not the same.

It’s the same to me.  

They are both performers.  Nothing constructive comes from either.  She has nothing to offer.  He is only acting in the way he thinks people want him to.  

I couldn’t care less if she gets interviewed, as though that’s some hallowed milestone en route to office.  As we’ve already seen, someone that likes to argue with reporters over inconsequential bluff doesn’t equate to an effective leader.

Looks like she’s coming out of the basement to do a hard hitting pre-recorded interview with CNN, and needs to have Walz with her. 

Could be a new sitcom, "The Idiot and the Commie."

You’re out of MAGA central casting.  Parroting the thought points just like instructed.

The point is, if she can't find the wherewithal to be independent and brave enough to do an interview by herself, she is never going to be able to keep her knees braced enough to have a tough and/or contentious conversation with somebody like Putin. Now, you can both sides and equivocate all you want because it's obvious that that's all you can do. But if we are to have a woman president then I want to see some sort of evidence that she can withstand the parts of a presidency that isn't smiling for the camera, that she can be our commander in chief in the situation room. Hillary Clinton had that. Kamala needs to prove she has it, too.

Agreed. She must withstand the parts of a presidency!

Which topic would you like to have talked about that wouldn't be considered a talking point?

He doesn't even post that much, why drag him into anything?

He's been in on this thread recently talking about conspiracy theories coming true.

Careful with your words this could be construed as a sexist comment about the democrat candidate.

Well, can you definitely say that a bunch of conspiracies haven't been found to be real?

haha! Maybe they can accuse me, since I'm a woman, of internalized misogyny? That would be funny!

Yes.  I generally do not believe in conspiracies.  Human beings are regularly proven to be incapable of handling the secretive nature conspiracies require.  I think conspiracies are used to look backwards and explain things as being connected or causal that aren't.  Sometimes it just rains on an outdoor birthday party and it sucks.

Just for the record: 

Biden conspired with 52 former and current intelligence agency personnel and had them swear by and sign a statement that said that the Biden laptop story was Russian propaganda. 

The New York Post and other people who tried to report on the story were not only called conspiracy theorists but also were censored and banned.

And that is a winning strategy for political operatives because it's got people like you outright being dismissive of truths. Honestly, it would be very easy to mock the name-callers, like you. But sometimes it's funnier to just let you go on.

Pathetic.

And now hearing the CNN scripted interview is going to pre-taped.  You've got to be kidding.
