Election 2020 Lol GIF by Joe Biden

How has she performed in previous debates throughout her career?  Debating a lying incoherent child is probably a bit challenging.  Additionally, dreading the idea of Trump gaining any undeserved momentum because of the completely different standard the public will hold her to.  It seems like women presidential candidates have to demonstrate insane competency and project an aura of power while also appearing soft, caring, and approachable.  Trump just needs to not shit himself and speak aggressively.  The press will be eager to declare him the winner and watch the panic that ensues.

Seriously, anyone else hear this? The nonsense was coming hard and fast so maybe I misheard. 

Some nut from Pakistan via Iran was arrested a couple days and charged with trying to hire hit men to assassinate a bunch of US politicians, one of whom was Trump. He had money. Tried to hire random hitmen he found on the internet. Went about as well as you'd expect it to.

The FBI pinched a dude with ties to Iran earlier this week. Apparently he tried to hire hitmen to take out multiple politicians from both sides of the aisle. Said hitmen were undercover FBI agents per usual.

History books will say that we just didn't know how to handle someone like that. The lies come so fast you can't even fact check them. He does terrible things so quickly that you forget about the last one after its happened. 

I didn't watch the debate, and I know that Biden is old, and we've been told he was sick. But, honestly, how do you debate someone like that?

She is a prosecutor bro. She is going to eat him alive just like she did Pence. They just need to coach her on facial expressions. You know, because angry black woman.

Harris should not debate unless there are fact-checkers.  

Yep.  There is really no reason to debate Trump other than if you calculate you will lose more by appearing the coward.  

There should be no assumption she is going to "win" a shit show with that orange twat.

Can people code switch non-verbal cues?

I'd love for her to come out fire/brimstone and scorched earth.  Just personally attack him, his crimes, and his weird stupidity.

Yeah Hillary Clinton was too focused on giving a good answer instead of making Trump look like the asshole he is. She allowed him to intimidate her and was far too non-confrontational. Harris will have to walk a line between mocking him, answering the questions, and providing an upbeat message.

Can someone explain internal polling to me? Why is it different than public polling and how is it more/less accurate than typical public polling data?

I've been wondering this myself. Anyone?

A couple of sassy finger snaps would get him to stroke out.

I just have a bad feeling about debating Trump.  He is a comedian/entertainer.  Not a high school debate club style debate.  I don't know what a win for Harris looks like at a debate.  Is there a debate that changes peoples votes, in the 7 swing states, in her favor?

I honestly want her to go A Few Good Men and get him to say the N word live on stage and just smile, drop the mic, and walk out Obama style.

Same, there is no winning a shouting contest vs the loudest of loud mouths.

Yep and there is one party that is perfectly ok letting them continue.

It wouldn’t be unreasonable to say that there are some people in that party who actually want more of them to happen.

I’m nervous about that debate because he doesn’t debate. He bullies and yells and lies a lot and will try everything in his power to create the most chaotic and bombastic atmosphere possible. There will be zero policy discussion because he doesn’t know how. It will be the NCBJ part 2. Hopefully he’ll finally say that one thing that will drop jaws and finally get rid of him. This country doesn’t need another 4 years of his and his families childish ugliness.

She just needs to not take the bait. I'd imagine her team is going to coach her over and over using his style of "debating". She'll be ready. She just needs to stay on message and pick her moments to expose his lies.

I don't know the full context of this question however, in general, campaigns, when they can afford it, hire a pollster or even multiple pollsters to help them determine how to best market themselves. They'll test messages. They'll also frequently take polls to track the popularity of their candidate, either state-by-state or nationally. Public polls are infrequent, certainly too infrequent to be of use to a presidential campaign. Public polls are facially unbiased in the sense that they're not paid for by a particular candidate. However, public polls are not inherently more reliable than private polls.

yes, but very much also no.  trump's only viability he's ever had is through sucking up all the oxygen.

That was before he was a mush brained version of himself who is backed into a corner. He is a pathetic shadow of what he was in 2016.

Man, this election needs to be studied at like American University or LBJ school of public affairs or whatever schools research and educate people on politics and politicking, because what Democrats have done in such a short time is nothing short of remarkable and awesome:

- Sacked the incumbent for his VP, with 140 days to go, raised a crap ton more money, picked a homerun VP, put themselves in pole position with less than 90 days to go. 

Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in the days after the infamous debate...

You're not wrong, but it says as much about Trump and Republicans and what they are trying to force on voters as it does about Dem political acumen.

My brothers, stop being pussies. Did you see the way Trump acted on the stage during the Black Journalists interview? That man cannot, with his soul, allow a race he sees as beneath him equal footing during a conversation and it showed. If he debates Kamala and she challenges him, which she will, he is going to absolutely lose his shit on live TV. We are all worried that it will be Clinton all over again, but the difference is people hated Clinton, and not so much Kamala. So when he loses it and damn near calls her the N word it won't go well for him. And you know what kind of person knows how to push someone to the very brink like that? A FUCKING PROSECUTOR that's who. This mother fucker is walking into the lion's den. All Kamala has to do is bait him and let him tell on himself.

I don’t get this. She’s going to destroy him. Anyone but an 81 yo Biden would have destroyed him in the first debate. He’s a doddering old fool at this point

yeah, it'll be a layup for her.  catching liars lie in real time is very much a prosecutor's job description.
