Trump Melts Down After Biden Holds Flawless Press Conference

From the article:

Trump and his campaign have convinced themselves that the imaginary Joe Biden that they have dreamed up in their heads is real. The Joe Biden that held a press conference on Monday looked like a formidable opponent who is in control of the presidential election.

The Trump campaign keeps hoping that Biden commit gaffes or give them ammo that will allow them to shift the focus away from Trump and to the presumptive Democratic nominee, but that is not happening. Joe Biden gave a speech and took questions in a flawless manner. There were no gaffes or unclear language.

And in any real debate, Biden would shred him.

Remember the VP debate, when the GOP was so confident about Paul Ryan and his supposed command of the issues. Biden beat him so badly I almost felt sorry for Ryan. Well, actualy, I did not feel a bit sorry for Ryan.

platter, to be blunt about it. One of the best debaters I've seen in a long long time. rump is in for a verbal beating at the hands of a truly professional and one who clearly knows their stuff. I expect trump to chicken out of the debates due to some national security issue of some sort, just watch and see.

Joe is a little slower and more serious, but he comes across as very competent and presidential, something we haven't seen in a long time. His news conference earlier this week was practically perfect. I was trying to imagine Trump watching it and losing his mind.

Only makes him more human. We all have a tendency to make gaffes, it shows that he's not perfect and that's what makes him human. We all make mistakes, there isn't a one of us out there that's perfect. That's what people see in Biden, a real down to earth human being with heart. That's what I want in a President, not a sham.

I think the debate should include a 50 yard dash, 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, touch your toes 10 time without tumbling forward, And a 400 meter bicycle race. Just because it would be hilarious to see trump do any of those. Can you imagine that ass on a bicycle seat, not sinking way up his gaping ass, (stretched to the max from Multiple large heads)

He wadded "Eddie Munster" into a little ball and tossed him in the trash. Almost as good as Lloyd Bentsen placing Dan Quayle's head on a tee, pulling out his driver and smacking the little Rethuglican about 450 yards with his "you're no Jack Kennedy." The look on Quayles face is still priceless. So is Bentsen's raised eyebrows as Quayle compares himself to JFK. I watched that one. It was fun!

Speaking of feral cats, I went to see one of my brothers a few years ago. I knocked on his door, and when the door opened, at least 25 cats popped up out of the bushes and trees around his house. He admitted to feeding "a few" cats.

No one has made more stupid, idiotic lies than trump. He cannot even put a cogent sentence together. No one on earth could top him in the gaffe department. Biden’s camp can make a full length movie with trump’s gaffe’s.

The US corporate owned media often focuses on the occasional verbal misstep by a Democrat, any Democrat, while ignoring the millions of verbal mistakes and lies promoted by GOP politicians.

Quality over quantity. We know Obama lives rent free in Trump's head, and it appears Biden does too. Just enough appearances by Biden to capture a news cycle and then let Trump hit the self destruct button.

He can get things done without bullying, threats, or tantrums.
He's also kind, compassionate, and genuinely concerned for other people.
He is a prime example of an ethical, honorable candidate.
In other words, he's the antithesis of Donald Trump.

This scares the hell out of Trump and his people.
Trump's reelection chances look worse every day.

In 2016 It was just endless circle jerk rallies and media fawning that gave him a false sense of accomplishment against Hillary. Now an emboldened Biden will go headstrong against a very weakened, impeached, and paranoid failure who caused 120k deaths and climbing, a shattered economy, a totally crippled infrastructure, race riots, absolute ZERO international good will, and an endless parade of scandals, indictments, fraud, and treason. He's burnt toast.
