Biden Surrogate Predicts He Will ‘Really Take The Fight’ To Trump During Debate

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who sits on the Biden campaign’s Latino Leadership Committee, on Tuesday anticipated Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden hitting President Donald Trump on his bungled response to COVID-19 during the debate on Tuesday night.

Even from the most aggressive media folks, nobody’s yet told Trump to his face that he completely blew off his most important job because he was terrified of hurting the stock market and thought it would all just work out somehow. He knows his response well enough, he’s said maybe literally a thousand times that he did a good job and if he hadn’t implemented his non-ban “ban” millions would have died. But with a tough guy like Biden telling him that in his face repeatedly and angrily on our behalf, he might get mad like he does at the press conferences but without the option of running away.

Wonderful, just stay calm and measured, Joe, and Donnie will just implode.

Again.

And again.

When you’re born to wealth, you’re surrounded by boot-licking toadies from birth.

It’s all he’s ever known: Being told, “What a good boy!” like some toddler who pooped in the potty.

He’s NEVER faced pushbask from the ass-kissing sycophants who’ve surrounded him his entire life.

Without the crowds, the Fox script, or the greedy relatives cheering him on, he’s got nothing.

He may even believe – truly believe – that he’s the smartest, most-wonderful man who ever lived.

Instead of a homicidal maniac in need of a straightjacket, rubber room, and anti-psychotic drugs.

I did love it when our neighbor there at that town hall told Trump to zip it and let her finish her question. I’ll bet she doesn’t get interrupted a lot at home.

Am I the only one expecting our Media Glitterati to tsk-tsk Biden if he so much as blinks incorrectly?

No. (Sigh.) Gonna be a lot of style-points stuff. Rather than pointing out the fundamental and radical contrast in competence and legitimacy. I guess that goes without saying, because it hardly ever gets said. :angry:

I seriously think that being trump got the “lock her up” thing going full steam, it’s time for Biden to reciprocate.
Biden should just state when the opportunity arises, you only paid 750 dollars in fed taxes in the last 10 years. You are going to prison someday soon and your daughter is probably going with you.
that should set the debate up for a interesting trump blowup

Fat Donnie is going to have all his children, to include daughterwife, along with First Escort at the debate. Is he under the impression America likes them? BTW, where is Gargoyle Guilfoyle? Haven’t seen her since the convention.

I’ve tried to avoid suggesting Biden do this or that or use some zinger I thought up. But it would be interesting to hear Trump’s views on the armed clashes between the Azerbaijanis and Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. I’m sure he’ll say they’re “looking very strongly” at the situation. I’m equally sure Biden knows that and most other conflicts in the world backwards and forwards and could humiliate him with it.

The difference between Biden and Trump.

We all know that Trump is ignorant and that Biden and Obama were just about interchangeable from 2009-2017.

Trump will be able to start answers but he will not be able to competently finish them. Sometimes the “can’t finish” part will come after a couple of sentences…sometimes a couple of words…

I honestly think Biden’s best strategy is to engage Chris Wallace and the TV audience for as much of the 90 minutes he can grab to talk about his strategies for tackling COVID-19, economic recovery, ethics in government, climate change, reform of the tax code which creates much income inequality, (ie. carried interest, real estate depreciation, etc.), community policing and climate change.

Engaging Trump might feel good, but it does little to gain Biden more votes. The debates, particularly this one, are a great window for Biden to sell himself and his program to an audience who is dying for adult leadership. He should simply stiff-arm Trump whenever necessary to grab the microphone but ignor Trumps idiocy, because talking to Trump is a complete waste of time.

As he showed in the last Sander’s debate and at the Democratic Convention, Joe Biden is very capable of dong this. Let Kamala Harris press the prosecution of the Trump Administration against a hapless lap dog like Pence.
