2 of my favorite gifs from Biden is that and his looks of utter dismay at that orange turd from that same debate

Trump's handlers

I love how this makes him sound like the zoo animal he is

Wow they're really going for it huh?

Or not. Depends on how Big Orange is feeling at any given moment.

Shots fired! Trump the bullets in your court, your response?

Can you be a bit more specific? Trump has been in so many courts lately it is hard to keep track which one you mean.

In this case its a field for a ball game. Like tennis, or basketball.

The one where he courted Stormy?

I don't know.

I'm honestly surprised by this. They want him to self destruct on live television. If they make fun of him like they've been doing in every press release it will probably work.

This will require Harris to still command the room and come across as professional and presidential though, which might be harder than it sounds when Trump can tell as many outrageous lies as he wants. I think she can do it, but it's a risk.

I think the play we are seeing is smart here. There is swelling momentum from center right Republicans urging their colleagues to distance themselves from trump and frankly an unprecedented amount of endorsements for Harris from the right side of the aisle.

This mentality of hot mics for the whole debate is trying to fan those flames within that movement.

This move in 2020 or 2016 would not be smart, but he's losing his chokehold as cult leader of the Republican party. It's still a risk in this race but I think much less so when they seem to be planning and preparing. This seems thought out to me.

I always thought it was so he didn't stalk her on stage and start screaming over her like the Clinton debates. No? I didn't know it was his staff that wanted to keep him tamped down.
