Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumJamal Simmons just shared a truly accurate observation about Elizabeth Warren on "Hardball."
Tweety was trying to bait him into a discussion over how she'd handle that sickening "Phantom Creeps" moment when Trump lurked inches behind Hillary during the debates. He didn't buy into it, and re-directed the conversation to say "I think she KNOWS why she wants to be president. She doesn't have to think about it...she has the answers."
I think that's pretty accurate. I think she'd eviscerate Trump on the debate stage, and his bullying and intimidation tactics, along with his puerile and racist nicknames, would wither once he stood face to face with her.

Fla Dem
(23,711 posts)Had segment on Liz Warren call "Elizabeth the Great"
Also had AB Stoddard on who is a conservative leaning commentator and was critical of Warren.
Donny called Warren strident.
Stoddard said while Warren might win the primary, the general electorate will see her as a radical socialist and will lose to Trump.
So same scenario they had with HCR. Death by a million cuts.
Joyce Vance and Jonathan Lamier, were Warren positive.
Segment about Elizabeth Warren starts at the 7:38 mark
I don't like Donny Deutsch.

Warren isn't strident at all. She's smart and forceful.

Jane Austin
(9,199 posts)He is just sure that none of us will vote for her.
As a 70+ white Texan I can't wait to vote for her.
His obsession with her is why I don't watch his show any more.

Can you imagine him doing that to Kamala?

(4,937 posts)I don't think he will be able to stand during the debates. Just watch, they will negotiate that there be podiums, or seats, and no walking or milling about.
If he does manage to walk and lurk behind anyone, I bet a really quick turn around would surprise him so much he would be startled and probably fall over....that I'd LOVE to see!

Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)Part of that is the knowledge that if he fails to get a second term, the SDNY will be patiently waiting in the wings for Private Citizen Trump.
If he goes MAGAt rally on that stage, he'll turn off the voters who are sitting on the fence...although, at this point, the concept of sitting on the fence regarding Trump baffles me.

(18,486 posts)Because your pro-Biden comments are very few and far between while attacking Harris (or defending other people who attack her) seems to take up most of your bandwidth here.

(1,501 posts)Harris must be praying Gabbard doesn't make the September debate because she can't refute a single criticism and won't even try.
Pssst... Joe is doing fine. I am watching his back along with many Biden supporters.

(3,355 posts)Should strictly prohibit that phantom creeping. There should be boundaries set as far as how far each person can physically move. How Hillary kept her composure I dont know.

(18,837 posts)..."Christmas Story" taught us all we need to know about what happens when a bully is confronted.
And Trump's too stupid and arrogant to acknowledge that he's already played that hand, and has most likely convinced himself he'll do it again.

(393 posts)I can't imagine the Orange Menace doing a debate. I'm pretty sure debates will be scheduled, but he'll pull out with the excuse that it has been brought to his attention that they are rigged and refuse to participate.
