(9,895 posts)Look at Hillary's roundhouse beatings of Trump on substance and the thing people remember?
"No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet."...
Creepy stalker standing behind her while she gave her answers to questions...
Snorting and sniffing like Trump thought he get a bump from the air around him...
Trump is a savant when it comes to maintaining all attention on himself. He is as deep as a puddle on anything imaginable, but he completely lacks the ability to be shamed about his own stupidity. That combination of constantly grabbing the spotlight and total lack of shame means he will literally do anything to make sure that a nuanced, intelligent debate with him is impossible.
He is a pig, who loves the slop and he enters every single encounter flinging it in any and all directions without regard to where it lands, how it looks or how it is received. It does not matter, as long as his name is out and the drum beat and keep lying to his 'base' and the KGOP about what it all means.
Warren or Buttigieg or Harris or any of our potential candidates in reality are going to have the same struggles that 16 GOP candidates and HRC had in '16. When you are the only one taking the debate questions seriously and not as a parlor trick, no matter how good you are, in 21st century cell-phone/Facebook/Twitter addict America, you cannot "win".
We have entirely too many morons, over the age of 18 and eligible to vote, who can barely be bothered to breathe without checking the app for that...the nation circles the toilet bowl of history because enough people are hateful racists and enough people are disinterested fools and enough people are petulant children who take their ball and go home when they can't have the unicorn AND the puppy AND their favorite candidate instead of any legitimate option to a fool like Trump...
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
