    Biden is best when he speaks from his heart. He was over-coached trying to remember all the facts, stats and figures that his debate team prepared him for - and that cost him some ‘media-presence’ debate points.  If media-performance was the primary factor for determining a presidential candidate’s qualifications, we would be governed by armies of empty headed neo-triumps, neo-hitlers and other 'actor' wannabe-dictators.

    Job performance matters and no honest person can discredit the many significant accomplishments of the Biden administration to date nor the stark contrast of the embarrassment of a President that the trump was, or the sadly morally and ethically devoid person that the trump still is.  Quick speaking and quips are much less important than a well qualified, ethical and honest strategic leader with a track record of record-setting accomplishments.

    Couple of tips: Tell the debate team that they need to let Joe be Joe, let him respond contemporaneously and just dump the over-prepping.  Also, just simply ignore the trump’s barrage of lies and misdirections with a smile and a short comment like ‘liars lie’; then answer the question posed and talk about what the Biden administration will accomplish next term. 

    Democrats need to stop whining and worrying about the debate performance and concerns about positioning a new nominee. It does not help and is very counter-productive.

    Democrats need to gather together as a united front with a common purpose of a strong Democratic Party election performance to prevent the looming Christian Nationalist takeover of our government. To do that, they need to capture the Presidency, the Senate and the House. 

    Ethical standards need to be imposed of the Supreme Court and some the new laws that the court is creating legislatively to support the Federalist Society’s wealthy donors, need congressional legislative corrections - and that can only happen with a unified Democratic Party. 

    Christian Nationalist conservatives represented by the Heritage society have a terrifying strategy for radically increasing Presidential authority through a number of executive and congressional actions that would effectively give their chosen leader the ability to simply ignore congressional or judicial mandates. (see the Heritage Society’s 500 page 2025 plan and see John Oliver’s excellent review of this plan for the trump’s presidency.) If these poor Christian Nationalist fools get their wish for a trump presidency, there will no longer be any reason for the trump to honor any of the promises made to them - and there will be no way to get him out of office. The executive branch agency’s leadership ranks would be replaced by only the most loyal trump supporters and would not enforce any congressional mandates, nor would they enforce court decisions that the trump would not like.

    This is all very similar to the way Hitler, as a populous leader, was put into office by wealthy German Conservatives in order to suppress developing German liberalism. They saw Hitler as a useful tool to be used to promote their conservative self-interests. 

    AND JUST HOW DID THAT WORK OUT: Hitler took ownership of the government to serve Hitler’s self-interests. These Christian Nationalist fools would follow the very same path and would deserve the same fate of the German Conservatives under Hitler. 

    Our country would loose our ‘rule of law’ to a ‘law of rulers’ - unless the Democratic Party can decisively win the 2024 elections.

    If I could, I would donate to Democratic Party Causes close to the costs of moving to a more rational country - because that move would be required should the trump win re-election. 

    As a final observation, contrary to many religious leaders, our country was not founded on Christian ideals. Our country was founded on the precepts of common law, and the best features of differing civilizations such as the Roman Congress and Native American tribal council gatherings to peacefully resolve inter-tribal conflicts. 

    Most of the founders were deists and were not Christians. They intentionally separated the church from the state as religious disputes are often-argued using faith based arguments instead of rule based logic. Our founder’s allowed people to practice whatever religions they needed so long as their religious practices did not interfere with other’s practices. 

    There was to be no ‘one-true and absolute’ religion - if Christian Nationalist’s should succeed in forcing their one-and-only ‘true’ religion on our country, we will quickly devolve into an autocratic religious theocracy - no better than that of Iran.

    The stakes are really high. Let’s all dig in and support the Democratic Party.

    I hope it makes a difference, but it probably won't. tRump will be who he always is & has been. Democrats & anyone with a shred of decency will find him outrageous. They will think, " Now. Finally, people will see him for what he is & the difference between these two candidates."

     

    Not even close. 

    Those deep in the MAGA camp won't even watch. They'll tune into Fox entertainment or look for FB memes of the event to share tRump's triumph...because he will proclaim himself the winner. 

    Those tRumpets who do watch will do so with a lens of finding a faltering, old man who has trouble talking. They will be too busy to listen to policy differences or actual plans to make our country better. If Biden does well, I can already hear the demand for drug testing. 

    The MAGA crowd will always be dug in. All America can hope for is to motivate those undecided, non-partisan, or independents to listen, be critical, and vote  There's hope.

    B needs to stay on message:

    I will fight for your freedoms. Democrats will fight for your freedoms and rights. The Gop has already taken and continues to take your freedom.

    - The right wing said they wouldn’t come after abortion, look what they did.
    - The right wing said they wouldn’t come after marriage equality, look at Amy Comey Barrett’s opinion that just came out in Munoz (that nobody is talking about).
    - The right wing said they wouldn’t come after contraception and ivf, look what the Alabama senate did.
    - The right wing is coming for the federal emergency medical treatment and active labor treatment act (emtala), which allows state hospitals to treat woman that are on the verge of dying and having a miscarriage. They are coming after that, and set precedent that federal laws no longer override state laws.


    - We are dealing with a pro death movement, with gun violence and abortion rights. 

    - They came after abortion 
    - They are coming for birth control 
    - They are coming for marriage equality 
    - We gave them the opportunity in the senate to protect birth control, and they voted no. 

    The gop are taking away your freedoms, and the Democrats are fighting hard to save them. 

    - T is proud he appointed 3 Supreme Court justices who took away your freedoms and rights. 
    - He is the one who lead a violent insurrection 
    - He is the one who dined with a Nazi
    - He is the one who is a convicted felon, adjudicated fraudster and rapist.
    - He is the one who has never shown any remorse.
    - He is the one, on tape, admitting he knew how deadly covid was, but kept it quiet to help his election campaign.
    - He is the one who in this, it’s fair to say, killed people. 

    Vote democrat, if you want to vote for your freedoms.

    (I hope at some point B says, "I don’t know what you just said, and nobody else does either." It needs to be done, but Americans need to see how T responds to mockery, and it’s not going to be pretty. I'd also like him to touch on how red states won't fully train drs in woman's health, so they go to other states. They won't now practice in red states, so expect to see an uptick of deaths from ovarian and breast cancers.)
     
    Vote for democrats who are fighting like hell for your rights...if you want to vote for your own freedom.

    i'm not sure Vance would have the experience needed to step in as the President of the USA if Trump were to suffer a debilitating medical issue. He is in his Late 70s & is no spring  chicken.

    I want to reiterate that a good “media presence” does NOT a good president make.

    A President that works to resolve complex and multidimensional issues that affect our nation needs to think deeply about how to address those issues with a singular focus and solicited inputs from many knowledgeable experts - one at a time. Anyone who takes on issues such as these simply cannot adequately address them in a two minute snapshot window. People who can quickly come up with one line ‘zingers’ suitable for a TV clip are not honestly answering questions posed, or have not really considered the issues with the depth and clarity needed to adequately address them.

    I believe that FDR was a transformational president who did much to shape the future of our country. If FDR needed to go on TV to answer pop-quiz questions while dealing with an insane narcissistic sociopath adversary, I doubt that he could have been re-elected once - let alone survive three consecutive re-elections.

    If FDR had to show up to adversarial media events with his failing physical health and being wheel-chair bound, just how likely would he have been re-elected three times? 

    What would our country and the world be today without FDR’s transformational leadership?

    What would our country’s future become without Biden’s transformational leadership - all due to his inability to spontaneously deliver one line ‘zingers’ suitable for 30 second TV clips?

    Our county’s future will be bleak if we are reduced to judging our country’s leadership solely by their media presence and ignoring their documented and very real record of substantive achievements.

    CNN did this and CNN is pounding on the issue of Biden’s poor debate performance - while ignoring the trump’s lies and the trump’s track record of void ‘market speak’ lies about achievements. 

    And just when did Rupert Murdoch secretly purchase CNN?

    I follow the news pretty closely so I don't think either Biden or the former WH resident will say something I haven't already heard. Plus, the former WH resident is such an a$$ that it is difficult to listen to his mindless ravings and outright lies. For those reasons, I may not watch. But...being curious I may not be able to resist tuning in for a few minutes to see if my pre-debate impressions pan out.

    Joe Biden is the People's President.  We love him and see him as a person who cares more for US than he does for himself.  Also, we see the good he does and plans to do. The Democrats who speak bad about him need to realize they are rocking the boat for all Democrats and could lose their elections because of it. Simply put, follow President Biden and trust that he will do the right thing when the time comes. As Joe would say, "Have a little faith for a change!"

    JD Vance is young, charismatic, and is already disrupting the political aspect. 

    It's a blockage to vote for either Trump or Harris as neither one are comfortable picks - however, JD being chosen as Trump's VP is almost likely to sabotage his career just like Trump did to Mike Pence albeit his professionalism in congratulating and attending President Biden's inauguration was commendable. It did gain disapproval and distrust from the MAGA supporters though.

    That's why, if JD Vance should run, it should be as president.

    He's the perfect pick for the Republican ticket. 

    He's an election denier, supports a national abortion ban, supports parents having more voting rights,and opposes no-fault divorce (& also believes women should not leave abusive marriages either, despite what the psychological  experts say).  

    All of these stances run counter to what the majority of Americans want and some of it runs counter to the Constitution. Like I said, he's perfect for the ticket. 

    I hope both tRump & vance continue to speak their minds as much and often in public as they possibly can. I hope fact-checkers and honest journalists & Democrats are there to call out all the BS. 

     

    The bought and paid misogynistic, weird dude is perfect for the ticket  just perfect!

    Nearly 70 swing state officials, most of those appointed, are poised to obstruct election certification, a report says. 


    Perhaps they could all get a memo on how the process works and the prosecutorial actions that will occur if the process is not followed (including maximum sentences for those found guilty)?

    Here's the only breakdown you really need of JD Vance- The JD  stands for Just Dumb. Just look at the whole ticket you have JD or just dumb insulting every woman in the country that doesn't have children by calling them a cat lady and then you have the world's biggest liar at the top of the ticket Donald Trump, who incidentally is also a convicted felon and sex offender And they team up with Elon Musk probably the most disliked man in the United States, whose medium ex is going right down the toilet so he desperately reaches out to the Donald so he can pedal his lies on X. L O L the Republican party is turned into a complete and utter disaster. It will take decades to get over what Donald Trump has done to it. It has gone from being the conservative wing of America to the hallmark of crazed lier's and just plain strange out there people who are willing to attack literally the institutions and buildings of America. That's what Donald Trump has done to the republican party not to mention this country.

    How do you expect them to follow the law when they are in power

    for decades trump has shamelessly shortchanged / not paid his bills / accepted bribes while in office etc and vance has been suckled on another teat and you want these idiots to run your country?

    Just dumb Vance, a.k.a. the cat lady man could be a perfect pick for Trump because he's another idiot. The absolute fact that Republicans are willing to listen to and follow a complete crackhead like Michael Lindell speaks volumes about the state of the Republican party. Any independent view of Mike Lindell can tell that his brain is fried just buy his overly animated  babbling. Somewhere along the line, the Republican party went clearly and completely off the rails. It seems no one with any sense sense of morality or dignity is driving that bus any longer.

    I am not a fan of JD Vance as he attacked Tim Waltz's military career with out doing any true research! He mixed a little truth with all out fabrication! Waltz's retirement from the guard started in May as he was going to run for the US House, the Unit received notification in July! 
    That was even confirmed with two other members of the unit. ( St. Paul Pioneer Press)
    Big difference from what Vance said at his rally! So I see Vance is a lose with the truth as Trump!

    If it obvious to me that Trump has mental health issues, it should be obvious to the family, close friends, the medical community  and this followers!

    The mental deterioration is becoming so blatant you can make enough excuses for him. How much more evidence do you need?
