2024 First Presidential Debate Thread: June 27th

[BabyBoomer50s]

The stakes are not only high for the candidates. This is a high risk, high reward situation for bumbling stumbling CNN. It’s ratings are in the toilet, it’s replaced CEOs three times in less than 3 years, the town hall with Trump last year precipitated the firing of the last CEO, and various hosts in recent years have caused a great deal of controversy and embarrassment. Add to that a new format that’s never been tried before. All that said, this should be a ratings bonanza if they don’t fuck it up.

The network is on track to have its lowest-rated month since 1991 in the prime-time 25-to-54-year-old demographic with just 94,000 viewers, according to Nielsen data, though that may change after Thursday’s debate. Presidential debates traditionally attract millions of viewers in the demographic.

That's a 3rd-degree burn of a response right there.

BB50s is in over his head yet again.

I expect Joe will win. Especially if he manages to upset Donald early on and that's not hard to do

I'm looking forward to watching it

CNN tried to veer right to capture the audience of MAGAts that were abandoning FAUX "news” after FAUX "news" inflicted massive butthurt on the MAGAts by calling Arizona for President Biden.



That ^ was ALWAYS destined to result in “controversy and embarrassment”.

I'm still finding it very difficult to believe that the presidential race is really neck and neck. The Republicans/Russians/Trumpers are dropping so many propaganda lies about the state of the union that I pretty much believe they are shoving lies about the "neck and neck" of the race as well. I find it very difficult to believe that more than 21 percent of American voters are bamboozled enough by Trump to vote for him--for anything.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

Nothing Biden does is in plain language. He is a vegetable and won't even be your candidate.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

 

[Pad_Foot]

I sort of agree with Howard Stern
There should be no debate with an insurrectionist.
The other two branches of government have failed to d their checks and balances
The Founding Fathers didn’t trust “The People” to manage this shit!

lol. Didn’t work out for them. Guess they hope having a legal analyst who likes to masturbate on camera during corporate Zoom meetings will help boost their audience.

Bringing Up Drugs? Undermining the Debate? These Are Old Trump Tactics.

To spend time on former President Donald J. Trump’s corner of social media is to witness any number of contradictory, unproven or outright conspiratorial ideas blooming, all at once. The approaching presidential debate has apparently sent him into overdrive.

On social media and at rallies, Mr. Trump has suggested that President Biden is taking performance-enhancing drugs ahead of the debate. Then, on Monday, he called on Mr. Biden to take a drug test. Mr. Trump banged out the demand on his social media account: “DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!”

This was a dramatic turnaround for Mr. Trump, who just days ago was also suggesting that Mr. Biden would be spending most of his debate preparations sleeping. Earlier this year, he called Mr. Biden “the WORST debater I have ever faced. He can’t put two sentences together!”

But in recent days, he has called Mr. Biden a “worthy debater,” reminding his audience of Mr. Biden’s performance in vice-presidential debates against Paul Ryan in 2012.

Everything from the MAGA fucks right now is meant to diminish the debate results. Blame the drugs ,the moderator, the network......etc. Trump agreed to to terms of the debate, but of course it's because he was forced to.
..

There's a reason why these bullshit things are trending.

Victimhood is his only mode. Yet somehow he's the only one who can get things done....lol

How many Fortune 100 CEOs are donating to Trump?

 

[jaF0]

^^^ Too many.

 

[Pad_Foot]

Let’s hope Trump finds a good cause he needs to do a fundraiser for… and then forgets to fund.

That’s always a good reason to skip a debate. $$$$

 

[KeithD]

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

I did concede 21 percent, which right there is an abysmal concession to the stupidity of the American electorate.

Of course, if he doesn't get it done, it was someone else's fault.

No idea. What does that have to do with the ratings and leadership instability CNN is facing?

Not one of those business leaders considers the diapered dunce worthy of their dollars.
