2024 First Presidential Debate Thread: June 27th

Kudos to Kasie Hunt! Well done! Great journalism!

Leavitt laid out the obvious bait in hopes that Hunt would interrupt and get into a tit for tat and Hunt patiently allowed her to finish before succinctly getting the program and her questions back on track.
 
It's interesting how the right is acting prior to the debate. Seeing a huge ramp up of a focus on Tapper and drugs for Biden.

They want to discredit people heading into the debate in case their guy does poorly.

I may just not be seeing it, but I haven't seen anyone on the left even discussing the debate much.
 
Trust him - he knows. 😆

"If I were advising Biden, I'd try to make fun of Trump...try to ridicule him. That will get him mad." - Dan Quayle
 
Abortion has been THE driving force for voters since Roe was overturned even in red states. It will be interesting to see if trump continues to take credit for it and if Biden can draw a line and convince the uninformed of the difference. Biden can accomplish this in plain language without use of any debate tricks. Much harder for trump to explain to person, woman, man, camera, and tv without serving up a jumbled word salad.

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

Look, I get it, you’re new here and got lots to say but you’ve honestly not said or done anything in your posts that I’ve not already seen before. I’m sorry but I’m going to choose not to address these retread talking points. Don’t be upset, ok? Use this as helpful advice - I’m actually challenging you to step up the crazy in order to distinguish yourself from the other RW misfits here before I waste any of my time on humiliating you.
 
The Biden-Trump debate will lay bare a fateful national crossroads

CNN

Presidential debates crystalize a quadrennial dilemma for a country contemplating a new political direction. But they’re usually defined more by trivial personality quirks, zeitgeist moments and gaffes than high-level ideological argument.

Al Gore’s melodramatic sighs, George H.W. Bush’s unwise glance at his watch, a day’s growth on Richard Nixon’s chin and Donald Trump’s bulk looming over Hillary Clinton remain iconic years after the policy clashes in those debates have been forgotten.

And while Thursday night’s debate hosted by CNN between President Joe Biden and ex-President Trump could also turn on a theatrical flurry between two men who openly despise one another, the policy meat of a presidential debate has rarely been so important as in this neck-and-neck White House race.
