He is “pussing” out of the debate as one member pointed out.

It's all bad Trump and all good Biden, so what do you expect? Hey, I wonder how Hawaii is going to vote in 2024 after this debacle when your kids die and Biden falls asleep meeting victims of the disaster and can't even get the correct island right, that EVERYONE knows, they might not be so liberal in 2024.

Got to say, it does crack me up, you all are desperate!

Says the person that's propping up their argument with anecdotes about their dad and in-laws.
They don't like Trump and they're Republicans so he's gonna lose!
LOL

That’s “wealthy” Republicans to you and don’t forget it.

The Government is not helping them, Biden delayed going there by 2 weeks and still went on vacation to the beach. He doesn't even know the right island and kept falling asleep as people talked about the horrendous events. There are still most likely 1,000 kids dead in the ashes and people there were chanting FU Biden from an extremely liberal state.

I'm just saying as it is...

If Trump is the Republican nominee, my dad and my husbands dad would not vote for a Democrat, but I could sure see them sitting out the race.

Trump is not really my first choice either. I want new blood, younger... BUT and a big BUT, to get Biden or some other lame-ass liberal again doing the same damn F ups as we have been seeing these last 4 years ah hell yes I'll vote for Trump as he would still not be a bad choice in the end.

If your Dads do not vote for Trump if he comes out on top then they are basically saying what we have right now is all good with us and I don't want to hear any complaints down the road from anyone doing the same thing.

He wasn’t falling asleep, and you know that.

In my opinion, this is not going to do your side any favors. But keep at it, it’s lame, and you know that.

I know you don’t wanna believe me, but every Republican and I talk to is not impressed by Trump or the maga base contingent of the party

Maybe they would vote for him again, I don’t know, but trump sure as hell is not gonna nab any independents. Especially, with all the trials looming.

We will see what the next year brings. Interesting times for sure.

Then how did he got almost 10 million more votes in 2020 and he was soooooo hated then too. I am just really curious because any Republican or Centrist I know is not voting for Biden and stated they are voting Trump and only one said they will vote 3rd party. I even know some very left wing Dems who will be voting for Trump if he is the nominee. The "parties", not just a party, are still continuing to morph into Constitutionalist vs Progressive thinking and voting. .

Here's a personal anecdote for you - I'm a lifelong independent and I sure as hell will vote for Trump. I will write-in my vote if necessary. And many other independents I know will do the same thing.

So when his head jerks up what do you call that? You can see his eyes closing as his head bobs down, then they kind of flutter open then close then he jerks his head up with his eyes open. The man is old and can hardly maintain a coherent thought or even know where he is without a ton of guidance.

Did you read my opening line?

We all know the so-called trials are just another political dog and pony show just like the faked Russian Collusion and Impeachments.

As to independent, I'm one of them and I sure as hell do not want more mandates or lockdowns, and I would love to get my gas under 5 bucks per gallon where I live, and I would like an end to the Ukraine war, and see proper support for Hawaii, and see the border secured, etc and about 100 other failings fixed on the part of the liberals.

It's the old fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, so is this about the 12th time now the liberals are fooling everyone with Trump BS?

Since birds of a feather are known to flock together, Im not surprised you only know Trump haters of all stripes.

Big deal. Means NOTHING.

Every single election there are people shocked! Nobody THEY KNOW voted for the one that won so how could it be????

The crap is so bad now even moderate liberals see the extremism from the left and will hold their noses and vote for Trump. It seems only the extremists have forgotten about the liberal mandates and lockdowns.. That alone will doom them, but oh that was so 2022 lol.

What is doing your side any favors?
Non stop persecution of Trump for fake, manufactured crimes?

Perhaps you're right mate I do not know .

But what I do know is the debate stage is where I cast my vote.

The landscape changes quickly so it is many debates that within the first few really mean nothing other than to weed out the weak. Biden ran his campaign from a basement and they do not want him anywhere near a stage. The liberals are complaining because they want everyone on stage just to attack Trump and by a small chance they want him to trip, or at least play on his words for the next 6 months. If he isn't there none of that will happen and the channel doesn't get ratings either, so Trump right now is running the show.

Trump wins by filling stadiums full of people and energizing them and not so much on stage which we all know will be geared against Trump in so many ways.

Okay I see yours and everyone else's point , If Trump gets on stage this early on it will be attack ' attack ' attack ' from all the other candidates .

Basically they are debating for second place .

But in the End He has to at least debate the Front runners .

You sound triggered.

He won't need to debate, he can hold a rally and get more views and higher ratings than the GOP debates. If Desantis attacks him for it, he'll just lose popularity. I mean, just look at what the democrats and RINOs have done to themselves by trying to attack Trump. They're a worldwide freaking joke and embarrassment.

Why would he debate when everyone already knows where he stands on all topics.

Really? What's his policy on Ukraine?

Who gives a fk about Ukraine besides Biden? He cares more about Ukraine than he does the citizens in Hawaii.

They voted for him in 2020. Not sure if you aware but a lot has happened since then. Plus, they begrudgingly voted for him both times.

They’re not amused with looney base, either. My mom’s ex hairdresser was one of those who believe Biden, Obama, etc. are dead and actors are impersonating them. That woke her up a bit..

He is actually pretty quick-witted in a debate, so once the field is knocked down to like 3 or 4 at most if he isn't debating at that point I agree with your original statement.

That’s on par with some of the stuff you believe.
What’s your mom say about that?

He said he would end it immediately. Negotiate an agreement.

That's not a policy. Terms of such an agreement is "policy".

Promises to "fix everything" is magical thinking, not policy.

Right right.... And Trump can't just wave a magic wand around to bring jobs back like obama said. I bet the sumbitch was gnashing his teeth when jobs were flowing back into America.
