I hope he does take enough votes from Trump that Trump loses.

Scary times. The more I learn about the rise of Hitler the more I see echoes of it in Trump.

 

[:eek:]

Trump does seem more unwell than he did four years ago.......but dementia is like that.

All those "hamberders" probably are also taking its toll

Welp, got my first political ad. Granted, it was for the GOP Senate primary, but dear god. I have a feeling that if that ad was any hint, the GOP ads are going to be absolutely unhinged....

Hopefully unhinged enough to discourage voters from voting for them.

Americans have no logic. Our country is imploding.

The historical standard is 15% in the polls, and he's not meeting it.

As I understand it, this is being done by CNN and isn't run by Commission on Presidential Debates. It won't be in front of a live audience which will help with control. If you remember the last "debate", Trump basically acted like a petulant 8 year old (big surprise there) and it was pretty much a disaster. I don't blame the Biden camp for wanting a little more control given his opponent. As far as Kennedy goes, CNN can run this as they please. If they wanted Kennedy and the other candidates agreed, they can put him on stage, but are under no obligation to invite him. Period. If I'm Biden, however, I WANT him on that stage. The guy would be a walking disaster and would make great cannon fodder.

I'm inclined to think hes being excluded because as DA pointed out, he has no chance of winning.
