It's really amazing to me how many of you think winning a political debate is about preparing, knowing more information, having better knowledge or being better at "debate."
Reagan knew Carter would crush him like the bug that he was. Their only debate was a week before the election and the race was deadlocked.
Reagan's strategy was to let Carter mop the floor with him and then say, "There you go again," playing the kind old man against the uppity liberal
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
#Pecker was asked if Bill & Hillary #Clinton's names came up. Pecker said when you run a magazine, you choose the topic of the week. Coverage of #HillaryClinton running for president that described #BillClinton as "a womanizer" was a big seller, he said. "I was running the Hillary Clinton stories, I was running Hillary as an enabler for Bill Clinton, w/respect to all the womanizing."
During the historic gathering of 3 #UnitedStates presidents last night, pro- #Palestinian protesters interrupted the event. Again, instead of ignoring their protestations, the presidents addressed the concerns.
All 3 men remarked on the #Israel#Hamas#war in #Gaza, reflecting on the difficulty of trying to solve intractable challenges such as #MiddleEast#peace as #POTUS. #Biden said there have been “too many innocent victims, Israeli & Palestinian,” in the conflict.
That poll, however, had #Trump leading #Biden by 30% points on economic issues.
During Thur's moderated discussion, Colbert asked #Clinton what he would say to voters who do not feel like the #economy is strong. Clinton answered that the 2008 recession & Covid are still affecting voters & that Trump did not sustain #EconomicGrowth spurred by #Obama. Biden & VP #KamalaHarris have methodically "put Humpty Dumpty back together again," Clinton said.
#Clinton mocked #Trump for taking credit for #Democrats’ accomplishments. “I listened to him tell us how terrible the American #economy was all during 2016, & then, by Jan 2017, after the inauguration, it had become wonderful, miraculously, overnight.”
Clinton said the economy started improving under #Obama & then Biden inherited "a mess" left by Trump.
"All of a sudden, Joe Biden comes along & creates roughly twice as many jobs…I believe in keeping score.… He's been good for America."
I'm so old I remember Republicans pushing out a completely made-up story about pres Clinton holding up air traffic at LAX so he could get a $500 haircut and the media fell for it and much of the public still believes it was true.
