    You know this is elder abuse, it’s sad to see.

    He’s clearly going through some form of age related mental decline. He should really drop out, for the good of the country, just like Biden did when the republicans were so sincerely worried about his mental decline and called for him to drop out.

      He needs to lose though. 1, it’ll be funny to see but more importantly 2, if he drops out they have a chance to put someone just as repugnant but way more savy and intelligent into the race.

        A replacement won’t have his cult following. But I agree, for his idiotic movement to die he needs to be on the ballot and he needs to lose.

      He already said no to any future debate including on Fox News. He’s got his tail between his legs, probably too afraid it will get eaten.

        He changes his mind constantly, nothing is ever final.

        There won’t be a debate on Fox News though, because Harris wouldn’t fall for that. It is funny to see Trump afraid of a possible debate on his home turf though.

      Either that or they’ll just pretend he won. The jagoffs who watch only care about him appearing to be dominant, and Fox will cut it up to make him look that way

          I mean, they still pretend like Jan 6 was only a few people walking around like tourists. I take your point, but reality has little bearing on what they profess to believe.

          Although, yes, this does make him look like a dumb joke which is absolutely what needs to be done to fascists. Even a little doubt can start the cracks in his base while they all point fingers about whose fault it is.

    When it’s a cult of personality, all you’re following is the (repulsive) personality. There’s no substance to agree or disagree with…

    Republicans dismayed by Trump’s ‘bad’ and ‘unprepared’ debate performance

    Why was this a surprise? Are republicans blind to his age, repertoire, past debates, speeches, interviews, candid moments caught on microphone, the people he’s surrounded by, personality, and his manner of speech? Any single one of these should be a tip off.
