Steve Scalise was on CNBC this morning and we literally would win the election if he was debating Biden

Scalise was laying out the tax policy from 2017 versus today, tariffs, regulations, Federal workforce still working remotely, natural resource allocation, corporate tax cuts.

he stated the number one issue that Americans say is "southern border" which would be amazing.

what issues would you bring up specifically in the debate in two weeks.

I wouldn't debate him. Too many people will say "you took advantage of a frail and decrepit old man".

"Hit him with facts."

100% agree. Which is why choosing Trump was the absolute worst decision we could make, as he brags about "whinging it" and not studying before debates.

could someone PLEASE convince Trump to spend a few hours actually learning about Tax Policy and legislation?

kids in 5th grade spend hours on homework every week, but this guy can't take 5 hours to memorize basic fiscal policy parameters to hammer Biden over the head.

Agree.

my constant theme in any debate would be to just constantly contrast 2016-2020 and 2020-2024. stay on task. don't delve into name calling. stay calm and collected and trump will shred biden. it does not take a rocket scientist to realize that things are significantly worse under biden. hammer him on these topics.

Do what Trump should have done last time:

Act like an adult and let the addled, demented idiot talk and dig his own grave.

---

He did that in the second debate last time.

Unfortunately, that was after the disaster of the first debate and early voting began between them.

Decline the debate and hammer home the fact Biden is unfit for office.

DJT is speaking at a potentially all dark skin church on the other side of the tracks in Michigan tomorrow. This is an outstanding way to start communicating with ALL Americans.

DJT should absolutely ask these individuals to watch and pay attention to the upcoming debate with FJB. He should have a plan that ties into his discussion with the church and the debate. Bring up this discussion in the debate. He needs to be inspiring to that crowd. Perhaps set up a live gotcha out FJB's mouth..... "Watch I will get FJB to say this....." and them have FJB do it at the debate.

Won't matter. Someone will be feeding him the answers through an earpiece.

Simply let Biden do all the talking, the entire time.

Then combine all the jibberish words he spews and make it into an hour video and release it as the new "Baby Mozart"

Happy infants, happy stay at home moms.

Inflation
Border/crime
These are things that directly affect people and they care about. Let Biden ramble on and sink himself.

Do not talk at all about:
Unfair trial
2020 election
Hunter
Stay away, change subject, minimize this. Nobody wants to hear it now.

Those are exactly the things Trump would prefer to focus on.

I would demand that 50 cent gets to hand pick 50% of the audience.

It's pretty simple.

You were safer under my presidency. Talk about local crime, southern border, USA on international stage, etc.

You had more money under my presidency. More jobs, better pay, less taxes.

That's the only talking points you need. Your family has less money and is less safe under Biden. Repeat over and over. Those work for the second debate which will be against Newsome.


But the debate mechanics are simple. Just a few.

Get Biden off script. No need to go crazy, just steer the conversation a bit. Throw him some changeups.

Let Biden talk. Biden is his own worst enemy.

Don't act like a turd. Act presidential. No cheap shots. Talk about half of what you want. Trump might win a few votes by saying something great. He will win more votes by letting Biden say something stupid.

Trump needs to do this debate with kid gloves...

Let Biden show that he's old, frail. and decrepit.

If Trump does his normal attack dog mode, it WILL do exactly what you say...and will get a lot of sympathy for Biden.

Trump needs to stay not just in his lane, but right in the damn center of it and then JUST talk policy.

Of course, CAN Trump do that? Hell if I know. Doesn't seem like it from his past...

And you KNOW the moderators are going to goad him with talk about his legal issues. Trump needs to deflect that by saying he disagrees with the rulings and it's under appeal. And then drop it. Let the moderators and Biden look like idiots trying to push the issue. NOTHING good can come of him *****ing about it at the debate.

Just do the debate by handing the rope to Biden and letting him hang himself with his idiotic blathering and mumble rap.

I'd slowly shuffle to the podium, look one direction and start to head that way, turn, stare in another direction, then start to head that way. Then I'd put on my aviators and stand stiffly, with both arms bent at the elbows and my hands out in front of me. Like a statue.

When speaking, at times I would just move my mouth but not make any sound. Other times I would just say "monwraworeagllteblegoiamoerouu" then say "look, here's the thing."

This...

And he'll have to do a LOT of changing subjects...because you KNOW the moderators will keep on bringing it up (or Biden, will).

Just deflect, deflect, deflect and say something like "We're here to discuss what we will do in our term to make things better"...

Don't disagree with your general point, but the fact that people are still allowing their feelings to ultimately drive their voting decisions is why we are where we are and why all signs indicate we will continue down this road.

A star is not enough for this.......

If DJT comes across as a bully, he loses. If he dwells in the past on election stuff, the media wins.

Now what happens WHEN, and it will, the enemy moderator squeezes the J6 pimple? What response should DJT have?

Honestly since this debate is so rigid, and no over talking the other candidate…I would just let Biden ramble on and when his time was up, I would let him keep going…Biden is a hot mess, and it is best to show the American people how he can't keep a coherent thought.

After today's news, I would ask him:

"What possessed you to sign a 10 year bilateral agreement with Ukraine without any intention of getting it ratified by Congress or the American people?

Do you have no idea how treaties with other countries are supposed to work?

I'd ask him how long he's had dementia.

Ask him to form a coherent sentence.

Doesn't matter. Biden will successfully utter a couple of cmon mans and be declared winner.

DeSantis would destroy Biden in a debate.

Even the furthest on the left would have a hard time spinning the absolute beatdown it would be, but you could damn well bet they'd try.

DeSantis couldn't beat Haley.

I'd challenge him to a push-up contest.

Just bring up cannibals.

here's a tip Trump: don't say this during the debate!

Trump allies scramble to explain after he calls Republican National Convention host Milwaukee a 'horrible' city
PUBLISHED THU, JUN 13 20249:43 PM EDT

In a meeting with House Republicans, former President Donald Trump called Milwaukee the host of the 2024 Republican National Convention a "horrible" city and said it is overrun by crime.

The Trump campaign denied that he called the city "horrible," writing in a press release that the reports are a "total lie."

Democrats including President Joe Biden were quick to capitalize on Trump's remarks about the largest city in Wisconsin, a key battleground state which Biden narrowly won in 2020.
