He's lowered the expectations for Joe so much that if he doesn't set the podium on fire during the debate then the media will say Joe killed it. The debate(s) will be really important for both sides. The way around that is to show clips of Joe last July in the Dem debates, then in March in his last one vs. Bernie, then compare those to the most recent. Biden could be fine for all we know, but if he bumbles around vs. Trump, then no supporter is going to be able to ignore the deterioration. 2

If Trump did not win the debates there is no way he wins election. But as for this seasons debates Trump wants to make sure each debate is 3 hours long to show Biden slipping mentally. In my opinion Trump needs to force Biden to destroy himself so that normal people see how bad he is mentally 1

How did you determine how many voters he gained while foaming at the mouth and having a near break down? Where did you get your info info on that? 29 minutes ago, snafu said: Here's the difference this year: all those people you mentioned could actually hold a conversation for 90 straight minutes, whether they won or lost the debate or the election. With Biden, nobody is sure. Seems to be an extremely important (low) hurdle to cross over. Trump has been labeled an imbecile for four years. Imagine if Biden can't come across as smarter than the imbecile. Trump can’t debate. He had a mental breakdown trying to argue with Hillary. Biden might...ok, probably will say something stupid, but Trump might very well just go berserk again. 2 2

He gained enough to win the election, especially among those on the fence in Michigan and Wisconsin. But the most important number will be the number of inner city voters vs suburban voters, that was the true number that cost Hillary the election. Obama won the cities by huge margins where she did not.

Romney revealed himself to be weak. He failed to advance his cause, he did not press the advantage and he was like a deer in the headlights when confronted or challenged. I'd argue Trump benefited from having some testosterone in his system, and by simply responding "Yeah? F you too." when challenged. It was refreshing. Hell Romney allowed himself to be cuckholded over comments that half the voting public would never vote for him, a truthful statement is there ever was one. Bloomberg suffered because outside NY city, no one wants a junior dictator in charge. Between the NY city gig, his Napoleanic stature, his dour demeanor and the like, he comes across as a virginal School Marm at Catholic School. That never plays well--and before you mention Trump and NYC--Trump is a larger than life character, has broad appeal in that people love him, or hate him, but he shows up.

But that’s different than claiming you know voters changed their vote or made up their minds because of the debate. So, any proof?

Wacka Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I really went off on Kemp yesterday and actually softened what I wrote so I wouldn't be put on "vacation". Yesterday , after waking my mom from a nap at 7 PM she starts crying and saying she has to get a lawyer so she can stop us kids from taking the house. I spent a good 20 minutes explaining that we pay the taxes when they are due and the house is paid off over 35 years ago. Also that the house is in trust so they can't take it if she goes into a nursing home. Earlier When she was awake in the afternoon she kept asking who owns the house. I wish Kemp would have to experience even a small fraction of this. Edited August 15, 2020 by Wacka 1 3

My MIL will probably be put on hospice soon with dementia (she has had it for at least 5 years). We are not expecting her to make it through the year. Add to that the settling of the estate for my FIL, the potential loss of Medicaid to pay for my MIL's care (due to the estate), the legal issues associated with everything, the tax implications of everything, etc. It is a full-time job for my wife to handle everything. She gets no help from her brother, so it falls on my wife. I do everything I can to help her, but she is losing her mind. Stay strong, brother. It is not easy. 3 2

She is cognizant enough to be able to have made a reasoned decision to not accept any inordinate efforts to keep her alive. The cancer is the type that makes it impossible for her to consume anything other than liquids. She will eventually starve to death, most likely before the cancer kills her. My siblings and I are fortunate that the extent of the dementia seems to have been limited to severe short term memory loss. Her spirits are good and she is very thankful for visitors even if she doesn't remember who they are. I'm personally thankful for my sister who has taken care of her for the last so many years and had the foresight to make suitable living arrangements a few years back. We are in the beginning stages of Hospice care and alternate between the sadness of our pending loss and the celebration of an exemplary life lived. I can understand your desire that the despicable Kemp would have to experience even a small fraction of what you are going through. Stop and think though, would you want to have him taking care of anyone, much less a person who really can't handle day-to-day issues for themselves? Kemp denigrated you for being the primary caregiver for your mother. His comments were so off the mark that he deserves whatever he gets here. I hope it's a lot. 1 1
