Trump MUST Up His Game for the Next Debate

Trump MUST Up His Game for the Next Debate
By Selwyn Duke

President Trump is masterful at his rallies. I’ve never seen anyone work a crowd better. Able to control the microphone, he’s loose, conversational, fluent, interesting, funny and even sometimes charming. He connects with people.

That’s not what he did September 29, however, during the first presidential debate. Many conservatives won’t like hearing this, but Trump underperformed while Joe Biden exceeded the very low expectations set for him. The ex-vice president simply had to show up and not exhibit dementia; the president had to impress. This he did not do. And he can — and must — up his game at the next debate, which also happens to be the last one.

I know, I’ve read the comments by conservatives claiming that Trump was impressive, that he won the contest. They cite certain polls supporting their position just as leftists trumpet polls indicating the opposite. I’m not here to claim that Trump won or lost or which polls are correct, however, because that’s the wrong way to view matters.

One thing you learn as a serious athlete, if you possess some wisdom, is the truth of the saying, “The only person worth feeling superior to is your former self.” If you chalk up a victory but perform terribly, you’ll be left unsatisfied.

I read all of the article and agree with him/her (is the first name, Selwyn, male or female? I think male), about undecideds.

It is time now, there will be no undecideds after the debate this Thursday.  Studying election habits of different groups for a number of years, I know, at this time, not many are left to decide.  Especially with this election being so bombastic, undecided voters started earlier to make a decision as it was in their face every time they turned on TV or turned on their computer. 

I got national numbers this morning; here they are:
2.7 million have early voted.
2.4 million ballots by mail have come in.

And, as I have said to Cyber, I think first time mail voters will be in a hurry to mark their mail ballot and mail it or turn it in, and make one or two mistakes and the ballot will be rejected, not counted.  Of the 2.4 mail ballots now, if they are checked as they should be, following the law, take off half a million or a million of these already in.

Once the number of rejected mail ballots is reported, get ready for both Democrats and Republicans, including President Trumpery, to yell "Rigged Election" and want all the mail ballots recounted.  They don't know of the checking process for mail ballots.

Trump's recent town hall was pretty good, IMO. He didn't attack the moderator and it made Trump look sympathetic. First debate... Trump needs to dial back his "Trumpiness" a tad.

About the two Town Halls, Trumpery and Biden

I watched the Trumpery one and taped the Biden one to watch later.
Trumpery was angry the whole time; however, it was supposed to be a Town Hall, not a debate with the moderator.  But, he never got out of "anger" mode.  He could have responded with his side of whatever the question was without "blowing up".  It is my opinion, that an undecided voter, would not want to vote for him - they did not identify with him.  However, Trumpery base likely enjoyed him.

Then, watch Biden, calm most of the time, didn't matter what he said because he was controlled when he said whatever.  Then, he speaks of the virus, and he is father/grandfather speaking of the deaths the virus has caused.  Really, I think this is what will elect him. Nothing is worse than death to people, the person and his/her family.  Take a choice between getting money or death in your family, and people will take family living over money.  Said another way, consider that as the economy doing great, or death of a family member.  Which would you choose?

Trumper cannot relate to voter's emotional attachment to Biden.  Voters know about the early death of Biden's wife and daughter and the death of his son at an early age due to brain cancer.  Add the thousands of deaths due to virus, and voters will vote Biden in hopes he can do better than Trumper has in stopping the virus.  There is voter emotional attachment to Biden but not Trumper, so I think Biden wins - except he loses if millions of mail ballots are rejected.

The supposition is a voter who lost a family member to the virus, will vote for compassionate Joe instead of angry Trumper who has not stopped the virus as the numbers of those with the virus are quickly going up every day.

Oh, good grief!  "Up",  WHAT DUKE?    UP YOURS!   There are people on the water, in the air, and on the highways, SUPPORTING HIM.  WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT?   SUBMARINES?   These 'smart' writers, think they know, what they are talking about. 

Every body giving POTUS 'advice'.  I LAUGH.  Ha!  Always with the 'negative'.

That's how I saw it, as well.   Despite the fact that Guthrie pulled a Wallace and debated Trump directly, instead of being just a moderator... Trump held his cool perfectly.   Odd, that... the resident anti-Trump quack disagrees and says just the opposite (not that I'm surprised).

Yes, that is the Democrat supposition. Which is why before this is all over we will have been treated to two debates and one townhall with exactly the same topic matter; COVID-19 and race relations (thrown in for those susceptible to the ‘Trump the racist’ meme, if not the ‘angry Trump’ meme).

While there are definitely a great number of irrational, emotional voters out there who will be impressed, we see them in the streets every day, I still have faith in the ability of the majority for critical thought.

BTW I heard Biden has ‘called a lid’ for the rest of the week. Heckuva way for such an attractive, sympathetic candidate to behave with two weeks left till the election.

The moderator has removed "foreign policy" from the list of topics for this debate.

No questions on the Middle East, Europe, CHINA, Eastern Europe.  This is beyond unacceptable.   9999hair out0000

POTUS will need to find a way to talk about China vis-à-vis the economy and Covid.

Every Republican, but especially Trump, x1000, goes into any election—national, state or local; even dog catcher—and must run against his opponent, PLUS the national media NARRATIVE (republicans are heartless who don’t care about the environment, blacks, women or alphabet gays.

It is a deliberately distorted and cynical narrative. It puts any Republican or conservative at an immediate disadvantage going in.

They've already tried to tell Donald Trump what he can speak about and failed.  That's why they pushed so hard for a "virtual" debate...it's so they can shut the President's microphone off.  The "moderator" can take the topic off the table as much as they want, but it will be talked about.

Ironic, since... foreign policy is one of THE main issues we must address in this current political environment.   The idiots that removed that topic are, I feel safe to say, typical anti-American leftists.
