    The guy I voted for already lost, and he's a helluva lot smarter than the Leftist idiots you'll be voting for.

    We only have two options. And Harris is far smarter than Trump. Trump isn't capable of talking about policies at all, except the ones he gets wrong. He's an idiot. If we gave Harris a lobotomy before the debate, she'd still be smarter than Trump. If she had a pet rock and we gave that pet rock a lobotomy, it would still be smarter and more fit for office than Trump.

    The only good reason Kamaola has to avoid a debate on Fox is that she's mentally weak and unfit to be president (which she is on both counts). Everything else is just lame excuses.

    How does it feel to support someone who is mentally weaker than Trump? :lol:

    No, they won't
    That's what one does in a debate.
    No, they won't let her get away with anything and what you think her answer would be is ridiculous BUT when the same answer is asked of Trump all he's going to do is complain how the election was stolen from him. Trump NEVER answers a debate question.
    No, she doesn't

    Or she's spent time actually looking at Fox, which has been caught in court deliberately lying in order to support Trump. She isn't mentally weaker than Trump. I've known Pomeranians mentally stronger than Trump. As far as excuses go, TRUMP is the one who has BACKED OUT of debates in the past, debates he had previously agreed to, and who tried to do so again. Not even you actually believe the criticisms you are levying now.

    If this is true, then why do you suppose she has essentially refused to give interviews, press conferences etc in order to demonstrate her command of the issues?

    With that supposed "superior intellect" one would expect her to want to demonstrate that superiority at every turn. She is instead giving everyone the impression that she is incapable and that perception is being reflected in the polling.

    "But then why" isn't an argument. Hell, Trump's interviews prove exactly my point. Did you hear what he said about his position on childcare legislation? And the polling is rather close. So . . . you are saying Trump is only marginally better, if better at all, than an idiot? You might want to keep shooting yourself in the foot. You only have two of those things.

    We have more than two options, and as far as intelligence is concerned Harris is probably the dumbest of the bunch, save for Cornel West who is arguably one step from being clinically insane.

    We only have two realistic options. You know this. There's a reason you can't talk about Trump, whom you are undoubtably voting for.

    Its a 100% valid question.

    If she has a superior intellect and command of the issues as you claim, why does she not display it in interviews and press conferences?

    If the moderator corrects with the wrong facts, then a smart and knowledgeable candidate could correct the moderator. Afterwards the truth would come out and everyone could see who was incorrect and misinformed.

    You are claiming that Harris has a far superior intellect and command of the issues.

    If this is true, why on earth would she not choose to display this superiority in interviews and press conferences? Trying to turn this into an insult to Trump does not erase this very logical follow up to your position.

    This would be like claiming that she can throw a javelin far further than Trump so she should be the choice for the track team EXCEPT shes not going to throw it to prove this assertion. Do you see how silly that sounds? It does not make any sense.

    If you got em, smoke em.

    It is as simple as that. There is more to this situation than you obviously realize. Her handlers are not that stupid. They are hiding her for a reason.

    You seem to not understand that Trump has spoken publicly, which erases this argument. Shall we talk about Trump's position on childcare legislation? Oh . . . you are already running away, aren't you? Speaking of hiding. For someone who likes to talk about hiding, you sure are hiding like hell from every public statement Trump has ever made.

    It erases nothing.

    You claim he is dumb and lacks a command of the issues... I claim she is dumb and lacks command of the issues.

    For a non biased assessment, simply look at their actions. Those actions will tell you everything you need to know in regards to how their campaigns view the situation.

    She refuses to go off script from the teleprompter to give interviews or press conferences. If one has a superior intellect and command of the issues, this would be the very opposite of how they would behave.

    Therefore, you are mistaken. Her handlers are not that stupid. They know full well if they have the advantage, then by all means display it and take full advantage of that superiority. Therefore, they do not see her as having the advantage. This is pretty basic, straight forward reasoning. There is nothing controversial or questionable about my reasoning.

    No, I don't because a fact is a fact. If there is a fact check, their fact and my fact will be the same. If their fact doesn't jive with mine them my "due diligence" didn't match theirs. They have better resources than you and I.

    Excellent point, and it hardly reflects well on Harris and her mental abilities that they're employing the same 'basement' strategy that they employed with Biden.

    What the media passes off as "fact" isn't always fact. If you're being fed propaganda masquerading as "fact", your due diligence and access to the enormous amounts of information at your disposal won't be the problem, it will be the so-called "fact checkers" who are the problem.

    How about she was working all the time to this night. Trump is clearly insane and proves it at all his rallies. Why do you think his campaign are scared to death about tonight.
    It's been said that the race is about the issues. Trump can't/won't talk about the issues. Why? Because he has no clue what they are!! That's why there have been holding back. To let the country see how batshit crazy he is.
    Tonight is the whole ball of wax.

    So she has a superior intellect and command of the issues, so her campaign decided to wait 90 days for her opponent to define her positions rather than her doing so herself?

    That is not logical. If you have the superior intellect and command of the issues, you display it. There would be no reason to delay whatsoever. Her staff has kept her under wraps for a reason, and that reason is definitely not that she is superior in intellect and command do of the issues.

    To claim otherwise is simply not credible or logical in any way.

    Both candidates are asked the same questions. Both candidates have the same amount of time to answer said questions. Both candidates have same amount of rebuttal time. What on earth is biased about that?

    Im not sure that they ask both candidates the exact same questions.


    Putting that aside and assuming that is the case, can you imagine any way that a debate where both candidates get asked the same questions with the same amount of time to respond could possibly be biased?

    To me I can think of countless ways it could still be biased. You seem to be saying this is not possible.

    If you do your own fact checking you'll know the difference when you see it. It's called effort, not arrogance.

    Anyone who blindly trusts the media is either naive or intellectually lazy....or both.
