Thanks for the kind word there. I know my answers are not linguisticly as sophisticated as others. I hope that "JimmyJeffers" feller puplicly apologises to me.

You aren't remotely alone.

Since ~40% of debate-watchers feel Pence won the debate it's not unreasonable for some to come here and make the same claim. But where the POTUS campaign is getting hammered this election is with women (all races, all economic and education backgrounds) so for there to be a huge gender split in reaction to the debate is very problematic for the POTUS.

If there are any more debates, it's hard to imagine there will be a kindler, gentler Donald Trump to emerge and win over a key voting bloc that seems dead-set against him. Last night was an opportunity to appeal to that key constituency. It didn't seem to work.

Losing women, particularly white women who have been a pretty decent staple of Republican support, alongside a decline in older people is disastrous for Trump really.

The issue he has, is the one thing he has to do to try to win them back is the one thing he's not very good at. He needs to stop being Donald Trump.

He got battered in the last debate - Trump without ability to interrupt and try to be the "alpha male" would be annihilated.

It's no surprise he's ducking it.

I read somewhere that if you suffer with a stanmer, interuptions really triggers it. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Trumps tactics were as simple as that. Keep interupting him and hope he loses the ability to speak.

Am I crazy or is Trump refusing to debate just an AWFUL strategic move for him?

By every available measure he's losing. Another one of his lunatic rallies doesn't get him anything he doesn't already have.

He's got 26 days left and absolutely HAS to shift the trajectory of this race. The debates are the single biggest opportunity to do that, simply down to the number of eyeballs watching them.

Is pulling out just his campaign's way of admitting that he's incapable of moving votes over to his side in a debate too, so they might as well keep him out of the limelight and avoid doing even more damage? Genuinely can't see any other reason.

Trump seems to have a number of options, and not of them particularly good ones.

Not just the last debate he did, he lost the debates with Clinton too. It's not really his strength. I can see why he would move away from them.

He is now in a position where he needs snookers so it is a surprise.

There is a final option, that he's just not feeling very well, so pulls out?

Somebody posted another scenario in here yesterday that unfortunately seems more plausible. I could easily see him going fully scorched earth for the final couple weeks, doubling down on trying to paint Biden/Harris as radical socialists, stepping up voter intimidation to try and suppress Democratic turnout, hoping the election is close enough that he can drag things out in court, get his SC justice seated before Inauguration Day, and hope they ultimately hand him the election. That seems more likely to me than him simply dropping out.

Honestly reckon he was doing it because he is a grotesquely ignorant tithead

His mind might be thinking that way.

He already has a majority in the SC. However I am very doubtful, in what woud be quite a clear victory at present his solution appears to be to try and steal the election.

I am not sure you get many logical actions out of him at this point. I also think, he he loses heavily, it's doubtful judges, even conservative judges will want to be tying themselves to the Trump ship.

Have you seen the actual state of that fella?

He's a human vagina repellent.

 

[RAFUH]

I’m guessing you caught up on what you missed!

Enough to credibly write that. On the other hand, it was also safe to write without seeing one second of the debate.

 

[Walken]

Just watched the harrison vs graham debate, much more entertaining thhan the VP debate and thought Harrison gave him a real mauling.

He's a disgrace to my kind.

Think a Trump aide was quoted as saying that’s exactly what his strategy was, try to trigger Biden’s stammer.

The man truly is an unfathomable c***
