Trump Will Get His Clock Cleaned by Kamala Harris in the Debate If He Doesn’t Improve


One of the things people forget about the first debate is that Biden’s performance was so bad that it overshadowed the fact that Trump actually didn’t do that well himself. He was often incoherent in his answers. He spoke using a sort of MAGA shorthand that is comprehensible to those who already support him or who spend a lot of time online, but not to persuadable voters. When Biden confronted him on the story about his calling members of the military “suckers and losers,” Trump said it was false. He then said, “It was made up by him, just like Russia, Russia, Russia was made up, just like the 51 intelligence agents are made up, just like the new thing with the 16 economists are talking. It’s the same thing. Fifty-one intelligence agents said that the laptop was Russia disinformation. It wasn’t. That came from his son Hunter. It wasn’t Russia disinformation.”

Those who regularly watch Trump’s rallies or get their news from Sean Hannity likely knew exactly what he meant. But for those who don’t already agree with him, Trump didn’t make an actual argument

-------

One example was how he talked about Tim Walz. After Walz was picked, many Republicans were cheering because as governor of Minnesota, Walz has advanced a long list of radical positions. These include issues that should be slam dunks for Trump, such as putting tampons in boy’s bathrooms and giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses and free health care. Yet here’s how Trump spoke of Walz:

She picked a radical left man that is — he has things done that — he has positions that are not even possible to believe that they exist. He is going for things that nobody has even heard of. Heavy into the transgender world. Heavy into lots of different worlds.

“Heavy into lots of different worlds.” Anybody who isn’t already familiar with the Walz record is likely thinking, what the heck is he talking about?
