DT will get better ratings. 

When you watch Joe Biden giving a speech do you suspect he might bite the head off of a live chicken?  What about the other guy?

And that is why he gets better ratings.

 

 

Well, seems some people actually want to watch a town hall that centers on policy rather than showmanship. 

Town Hall YouTube Views Suggest Biden hit Trump Where It Hurts Him Most—Ratings

The polls will no doubt keep growing in Biden's favor until election day.  Heck, according to the New York Times, Hillary had 92% of the vote to Trump's 8% the night before she won the 2016 presidential elections.

"Psst!  She didn't win."
Oh! 

Yeah, not the same at all. Biden has a consistent larger lead than Clinton had over the comparable 6 month period. Biden also has a 3 point lead on Clinton at the 21 day mark (today).

Psst! Donald isn't running against Hillary (or even Hunter)!

Wow, hitting the misogyny hard. Can't have those women in power can we. Especially a non-white woman. They will just fall apart at the first sign of difficulties, right? You and Pence can be best friends.

Pence's misogynistic lack of respect for the female moderator by incessantly talking past his allotted time certainly didn't help him win the coveted suburban woman voter. Most polls have either a tie or Harris winning the debate.

Interestingly, this vice presidential debate was the second highest viewed only being topped by the Biden/Palin debate in 2008.

Who Won The Vice Presidential Debate?

The verdict: While the debate didn’t really change how people are planning to vote, Harris did improve her favorability ratings.

Heck, Donald could not even make it through a short interview with Hannity without coughing up a lung. But go for it Donald! Go out there and cough on all your supporters. They will think your phlegm is manna from heaven!

Coughing Through Hannity Interview, Trump Says He Wants to Do Saturday Rally

Quote

The president appeared to stifle a cough and gasp for air a bit while discussing the recent debate kerfuffle, even seeming to put his phone on mute for a few seconds. Later in the interview, the president’s voice grew muffled and raspy, and he cleared his throat and coughed several times.

I wonder why Joe Biden is afraid to debate in person.

Um, because COVID-19? Who in their right mind wants to stand across from a infected contagious mouth breather yelling incessantly?

Donald, the infected patient zero, refuses to tell the American public when he last tested negative. So how is anyone supposed to believe that he will be COVID-19 negative during the next debate if he just "says so"?

Heck, we still have no idea if Donald was or wasn't contagious during the last debate as we don't know when he last tested negative!

Nah, the smart thing would be a virtual debate. Donald himself called in virtually to Fox News to complain about a virtual debate! Talk about ironic.

If a virtual presidential debate can happen in 1960, it definitely can happen in 2020. Or do you think technology goes backward?

For some reason, the White House is releasing staged photos of Donald.

The White House released (apparently staged) photos of Trump working while hospitalized

Quote

The two photos of the president at Walter Reed Medical Center, which were released by the White House on Saturday night, show Trump looking slightly disheveled and working with papers at two different desks. He is dressed differently in each image. They also appear to have been staged:

According to the images’ metadata, the photos were taken ten minutes apart on Saturday.

His team has to do a better job of creating the myth. They released a photo showing him 'hard at work reviewing and signing documents'. When people zoomed in on the image, it revealed he was signing blank pieces of paper.

You mean this photo of Donald signing a blank sheet of paper to make it look like he is working? Also, strange that he probably would be in bed with an IV but yet wearing long sleeves. Yeah, that tracks.

It would have been nice to actually hear Biden's comments but it was difficult for Biden to over come the mouth farts coming from out from the blow hole standing across from him.

Donald's only hope was to shout down his opponent which caused Donald to appear to be a petulant child yelling for attention in Walmart.

If Donald can't agree and abide by the rules of the debate, what is the point to hold any of them?

Biden was right to call Donald a clown. Biden laughing and shaking his head dismissively was the correct response to that clown.

If Biden wins, it's very likely he will pass away before he gets to the end of his term.

Take a look at the VP. Want her in the oval office??? Not me.

Probably, in-essence, the Democrats tactic to get a women on to the chair. History is well littered with this old ruse 

The misogyny of many of the posts from Donald's supporters is palpable and quite telling.

As to be expected...

Pence is going to attend a QAnon hosted fundraiser.

Ah, QAnon, just Nazism in new clothes. 

QAnon is a Nazi Cult, Rebranded

So now the GOP has the QAnon/Nazi faction funding Donald's campaign. One can definitely see the direction that the GOP and its supporters are moving towards.

Meanwhile, Donald is asking people to commit a felony.

Trump seemingly encourages North Carolina residents to try to vote twice

Quote

They are going to have to check their vote by going to the poll and voting that way because if it tabulates, then they won’t be able to do that. So let them send it in, and let them go vote. And if their system is as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote. If it isn’t tabulated, they will be able to vote. So that’s the way it is, and that’s what they should do.

And you have people coming over with bags of soup — big bags of soup. And they lay it on the ground, and the anarchists take it and they start throwing it at our cops, at our police. And if it hits you, that's worse than a brick because that's got force. It's the perfect size. It's, like, made perfect.

And when they get caught, they say, 'No, this is just soup for my family.' And then the media says, 'This is just soup. These people are very, very innocent. They're innocent people. These are just protesters. Isn't it wonderful to allow protesting?'

For anyone that cares about the origin of this story.

Trump's 'plane loaded with thugs' conspiracy theory matches months-old rumor

Quote

One post claimed that “Antifa has sent a plane load of their people” and that the Payette County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it. Within days, that version of the rumor picked up enough steam in Idaho Facebook groups that the Payette County Sheriff’s Office had to release a statement insisting that the viral rumor was “false information.”

Did Donald's acceptance speech end yet? The incessant droning was absolutely mind numbing. You could see parts of the crowd checking their smartphones about a half hour into it. I think Donald was putting himself asleep by the way he was holding on so tightly to the podium.

Terrible speech delivered by a terrible person (woman, man, camera, TV).
