Good morning patriots
Hope everyone slept well after the president and Chris Wallace debated about the issues last night.
We've had some great threads and comments about what happened last night. Now that you've had time to digest it we'd like to give you the opportunity to seriously discuss any questions, issues, or anything that happened.
Top level comments should be only something that happened during the debate. Links to highlights, fact checks, questions, etc.
For those who missed it.
The moment Chris Wallace brought up the "fine people" hoax, you knew the fix was in
Trump missed many opportunities to explain simply and concisely, i.e. “As you well know Chris, the full quote was.. X. I’m surprised you didn’t put it into proper context.”
Or...
“Like every American, I take tax deductions. Sometimes I have a bad year and costs exceed revenues.”
Do you feel Trump missed the opportunity to squash that lie once and for all? I believe he talked about law enforcement instead.
Yes
TRUMP (I wish): "Fine. People. Hoax. Google it." Everybody should just Google it."
It works to bring up full context articles, even works on Google... why? Because anyone trying to push the lie cannot bring themselves to even mention the word 'hoax' (their mistake ha ha) so if the word is included Google puts decent stuff on top.
Yup. No idea what happened last night. I think they drugged Trump
If he played their game, he would have spent the night correcting fake news instead of actually contributing anything. That's the left playbook. If I make a statement, then accuse you of being racist and get you to respond to that, you are only treading water and you're on the defense.
He's responded to all the old tired fake news already. They can look it up on Twitter.
I really have no idea why he didn’t kill the hoax right then and there. He said to Joe “finish the quote” instead of using it as an opportunity to explain why it was a hoax and how Biden is a sleaze for thinking the American people are stupid enough to buy into it.
Same with the injecting bleach thing. Trump said “I was being sarcastic and you know it” instead of saying that he was obviously talking about UV light. He could have made that a great point about “muhh listen to the scientists”.
He really should have prepped more. He was naturally prepared for Wallace’s shitty questions, but he was not prepared for shooting down Biden’s lies.
I cant believe the MSM keeps pushing that hoax
