1. We all know he will just yell louder.

Kamala can take it and respond with grace and truth..

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Agreed, but it sure is annoying and tough to listen to... all he does is interrupt, pick fights, insult and argue

His campaign keeps telling him to stick to "policy," but does he have one other than what was written in Project 2025 - which he claims to know nothing about??

2. Worried, they are.

Probably not so much about him coming across like what he is, but more about themselves looking like idiots because of him.

Hey, guys, you can always jump ship like many others have done.

4. Meds to calm the buffoonery

will lead to responses that seem like inter ludes.

5. Makes no difference if the mic is off

As shown in this clip, he shows HIS crowd who is the strongest MAN around. He just shouts out his tripe, constantly drowning out the person debating him, whenever it is their turn to speak........Is there a rule he can't STALK her around the stage like he did with Hillary......His good ol MAGAts loved when he did that.......

And then lets talk the milk toast moderators that don't shut him down, and throw soft ball questions, that even he needs to understand what they are saying.........And then, he ignores the question and goes off on one of his rehearsed Republican Lies or talking points.

They should be in Soundproof rooms, with mic shutoff, if he veers off topic, they cut him off and he loses the time remaining.

Like everything else the Republican Party has mastered, they know they cannot win, if they don't cheat.......It's in their DNA.....

Hell, they are still rejecting the fact Biden won in 2020..........If, even with all their corruption and the USSC willing to intervene and literally "give" him the election, Kamala Wins,....If you think J6th was horrific, you ain't seen nothing yet. And, they won't wait until J6th this time........Katie Bar The Door. The70+ million MAGAts are already primed and ready, they are standing back and standing by.
He will have them really wound up by the election...........

The Republicans and Corporations cannot lose this election, and they will do anything and everything corrupt they can to put Trump back in power. I suspect they know, that if Trump isn't installed as President, the Republican Party will crash and burn.

In my opinion, expect to see shit happen on Nov5 & 6th, the likes of nothing this country has EVER seen in the entire history of our beloved nation.........I fully expect, that regardless of Dems actually winning, that THIS Treasonous and totally Corrupted USSC will illegally insert themselves, just as they did in 2000. ......in 2000 they didn't just alter the winner of the election, but more importantly, they established a legal precedent so they can do it again......

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Very well said and I also believe this is what they're planning.

January 6th, horrific as that was, didn't get them what they wanted - so I also suspect that they're planning something worse. And that prospect scares me to death...

[DENVERPOPS]

9. Like I said

I think, starting on Nov 5-6 we will see things we have never ever seen in the entire history of our beloved nation, including the revolutionary war and civil war.........And they won't wait until January 6th...............AND I expect their RepuliCON Corrupted USSC will have their backs, BIG TIME, trying to "legally legitimize" their out right insurrection and sedition......They showed their hand in illegally, corruptly and un-constitutionally intervening in the 2000 election........

Katie Bar The Door........................

I don't think the general population realizes just what is at stake this time around. BUT the Republican Politicians, Uber Wealthy, and Corporations sure as hell do, and they will not hold back on unleashing anything and everything to win this election......

Trump has already tipped their hand, when he told his voters that "if they vote for him this time, they will never have to vote again".....
The most frightening thing I have ever heard out of his mouth......by far..............

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I listened to Liz Cheney's book just recently and despite the hard work and proof confirmed by the J6 Committee

She ended with a warning that TFG and his supporters in government are still working to undermine our government yet again.

[DENVERPOPS]

11. I have a hard time looking past

the fact that they voted with Trump/McConnell every day, of every week, of every month, of every year for four years, and if the Senate Republicans hadn't done that, Trump never would have been able to do all that he has done........And, the RepuliCONs in the House and Senate have continued to be in lock step with Trump for the entire three and a half years of the Biden administration......

[Rhiannon12866]

12. And we know that some in Congress helped plan the January 6th attacks and gave Capitol "tours" beforehand

Despite the fact that the Capitol was closed to tourist visits due to the pandemic. We heard that there was going to be an investigation into their actions - but after going on 4 years nothing has been done.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. Sorta makes me wonder sometimes

exactly what the Dem Leadership HAS accomplished these past 3 1/2 years about alot of things like this..........

Just saying.........

And, what about some of the DC and Capitol Police, that curiously, pulled back the barricades so the insurrectionists could proceed with out the barricades impeding them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Or the Secretary of the Army? who was the person who had to activate the Nation Guard, and all that tried to contact him, conveniently could't reach him, etc etc etc

[Rhiannon12866]

14. I think that the majority of Capitol and Metropolitan Police acted bravely that day and many were severely injured

By the angry mob - following TFG's instructions. And according to Liz Cheney's book, the J6 Committee interviewed those who were in the White House that day - and everyone, including White House staff and his family members - repeatedly begged TFG to call off the violent insurrectionists and call in the National Guard, but he ignored them all.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Completely Agree Rhian

But there were no investigations into much of the Trumphumper insiders, that obviously aided in the attack..........

[BOSSHOG]

7. WE DON'T WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HEAR WHAT OUR CANDIDATE HAS TO SAY

So sayeth the party of integrity and law and order.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. As long as it's muted the entire time, I might just tune in

Otherwise, I've unfortunately heard more than enough of his offensive nonsense for several lifetimes.
