You keep on "Dumping" people who know what's going on, and pretty soon you'll be able to deal only with delusionists and conmen, which will make you feel better.

It would take less than 20 minutes for Biden to get Redacted to start flapping around like a startled loon live on international TV. They'll have to medicate Redacted to near unconsciousness just to get him back to the White House... or a padded room at Walter Reed... whichever.

turdface will agree to debate just like he agreed to a sit-down chat with Mueller.

It doesn't matter who the democratic candidate is, they will run circles around him, hence there will be no debate.

He can read the handwriting on the wall. Too many states will have switched to paper, or some sort of traceable voting system. Putin may not be able to pull his shrunken, wrinkled balls out of THIS fire. (My apologies for THAT visual...)

His choices are two, go to jail (maybe they can get the family suite in Guantanamo) or flee to Saudi Arabia, corrupt cabal in toe. Jared has those arrangements set up. (PLEASE PLEASE try to steal Air Force One to get there, justifying OUR shooting it down....)

The only solution is NO ELECTION, which he will justify because we are in the middle of a war with Iran.

Anyone want to place a bet?

His main message will be--"They are stealing the White House".
It will all be about disqualifying the election and putting the country on the path to a real revolution.
I wish my biggest fears of this man/child had not already mostly happened.

I hope we are wrong.

I seriously doubt there will be any meaningful election in 2020..
I would even be very surprised if there are repub/dem 'debates,' at least as we have known them.

This is an authoritarian government in embryo.

He serves himself by (mostly) serving the really big RW powers, and the Republican Party also serves them by working with him to keep their RW electorate on the leash. If the time comes to discard him as used up, or as a target for blame, he'll be discarded and they will remain.

orange ass, until the gop feels as though it affects their chances of re-election. Concealing TRUTH will not work anymore, we have wised up to tRump's schemes. Face it, republicans, your president has to GROW UP, and soon. He refuses to face reality, even when it slaps him in his repulsive, fugly, anus-mouthed face. He seriously thinks all he has to do is deny truth and it will go away.

I originally suspected that the "leak" might have been strategic - a classic misdirection move.

But now, I see I was probably overestimating them.

There were at least 4 or 5 solid, impressive Democratic leaders who could have beaten Nixon in his 2nd run, according to the polls of the time. This was before Watergate happened of course, but Nixon really thought he might lose in 1972.

So what happened? Dirty tricks by the Repukes is what happened! At the time the Watergate break-in was considered a dirty trick because they tried to steal info from the Democratic Party headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. But there was so much more happening besides that. The major Dem leaders all dropped out one by one, and that was exactly what the Repukes wanted. At the disheveled Dem convention of 1972 they brokered a deal with George McGovern, who was Mr. Nobody from Nowhere. The real story is that the powerhouse Democratic leaders were all knocked out of their primary races (forced to drop out) by GOP dirty tricks.

We cannot ever take any Democratic lead for granted. The Repukes will find a way to cheat, because they always do cheat.
