MODERATORS
Especially teleprompters.
Both figuratively and literally in this case.
Obama was shit on constantly for reading from a teleprompter and the guys bookending him were completely illiterate.
I mean, look at how occasional mild flubs in Harris are blown up, while Trump sounds like a literal child who forgot their medication, and didn't do their homework, and it's everyone else's fault, and he's going to lie and Bs his way through it anyway. Somehow, Americans think he knows better on the economy despite the fact he is entirely incapable of articulating it. It's maddening. And when you point it out, someone calls Harris the R word, then says MAGA or TRUMP 2024!!!! What the Fuck is wrong with the world.
They criticize everything the Democrats do. Literally everything. They double down on anything that catches traction. The more traction it gets, the harder they push it.
Same same here in Canada.
Obama famously did a lot of his own speechwriting.
Every candidate reads stump speeches from a teleprompter. Every stump speech has some level of input from a speechwriter.
You can tell by the candidate’s delivery how much input they have in writing, and how much they actually understand and believe what they’re reading.
Trump just reads the words that show up, like he’s never seen them before, and then goes off on weird tangents. He’s like Bizarro Simon Whistler.
More like my classmates on a group assignment that they didn't do any work on until it's presentstion time.
Given that Trump tends to go on incoherent tangents, I'm honestly kind of surprised that he uses a teleprompter. I'm also kind of surprised that Trump is able to read
I can only imagine it flashes a topic and he meanders to it if anything. No way do I believe he's reading all that much less has it scripted or rehearsed.
“IMMIGRANTS”
Only in 200 point don’t.
Maybe also a picture because he can’t read words with too many letters.
The sign falling on him... Now if that's not emblematic of his error-prone campaign then I don't know what is.
And yet he's still statistically tired with Harris. The old man who's a senile, malignant narcissist, who has lots of criminal charges, has been impeached twice, is now an overt Nazi, and and who failed spectacularly in his first term (among many other negative aspects of his record and personality)... is tied in the polls with a healthy, intelligent, relatively young, middle of the political spectrum candidate who thrashed him in their only political debate.
Sure, Harris has some political baggage and isn't the perfect candidate. But holy shit, at this stage he should be trailing her by 30+%. The fact that he's not shows that this country is in deep deep political trouble.
It’s a symptom of the two party system. You vote for “your guy” even if he’s a literal corpse. Let’s get some RCV and proportional representation in here and we’ll see that effect go away almost immediately.
He doesn’t need a teleprompter for the stream-of-consciousness bullshit that spews forth from his syphilitic, dementia-ridden brain.
Lol .... that would be hilarious .... all that stream of consciousness bat shit crazy nonsense that he's been spewing for the past year .... was all pre-written and placed on a teleprompter for him to read.
Republicans have effectively captured the stupid, there is no need in their operations for accuracy, consistency, truth, or anything like that.
