(60,334 posts)He should not be in the same room as the President. SS should note this for the next debate.
It is important and not stretched.

(3,678 posts)He was asked how he felt when someone called your dad a liar. I guess a lot of sons would have said the same thing.

(8,964 posts)The fact that he actually considered assaulting the President would seem to make this a no-brainer. Let him watch it off-site on TV, and if he can't stomach watching any criticism of dear old dad's "policies", then Ann can deliver the dire news about the 3rd debate outcome in person.

Its enough that he showed his immaturity.

(99,710 posts)The notion that a prep school product who has probably never been in a real fight in his life is going to "take a swing" at anybody is simply preposterous.
