the Progressive Left is running amuck on college campuses, support for migrant families is taking away from support for citizens, military recruitment is down because of DEI, the lower to middle class are being told they are not smart enough to realize how great an economy we are in...

Running amuck? It's called peacefully protesting. Sorry you don't like the principles this country was founded on but that's your problem. I heard Putin is needing new recruits so dust your passport off and pack a bag. I'm sure it's beautiful this time of year.

I'm sure you're excited, right?

'Terrible strategy': Trump aide says ex-president's debate plan is set to hand Biden a win

Former Trump White House official Alyssa Farah Griffin thinks her erstwhile boss is making a catastrophic mistake in the run-up to the newly scheduled presidential debates — and one that he's made on previous occasions.

Specifically, she argued in a panel on CNN, he's lowering the bar all the way to the floor for President Joe Biden, and making it easy for Biden to prove him wrong and exceed it.

"Trump is setting very low expectations right now for President Biden's performance, posting today that Biden, quote, 'can't put two sentences together,'" said anchor Wolf Blitzer. "You think that's going to backfire on him?"

"Yes," said Griffin. "That's a terrible strategy, and it's only a matter of time between before [Trump campaign strategists] Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita haven't walked that back."

"Listen, this is what they did ahead of the State of the Union," said Griffin. "Donald Trump's campaign essentially said, if he doesn't keel over at the podium, that was the bar that they set. And so Joe Biden outperformed expectations and got a bump after the State of the Union."

"I want to mention one thing," she added. "There's this notion out there that presidential debates don't really matter. They don't historically move the needle. And I would say that's not the case for this one. It's because this is not a debate for the locked-in partisans whose minds are made up about these two men. It is for those sort of double-haters, those swing voters who aren't necessarily happy with either candidate. But we know are going to decide this election, seeing the candidates earlier, go head-to-head, I think is incredibly important. I think it's good for democracy. And I think it's an open question over who it benefits ... [Biden is] good when he's not in front of a big audience. Donald Trump loves a big audience, but at the same time, Donald Trump actually might be a bit more scaled back in a more intimate setting. So a very, very important development."

And you are SURPRISED that any alternative, including Orange Man, is better than the status quo?

Unfortunately, generation after generation of old people has used your reasoning. Oh, the HORROR of those of us who came of age in the '60s!! Of which you may or may not be a member. I am. But I haven't forgotten; many of my contemporaries have.

Forgot: Orangeman is the worst possible. No matter what the choice. He is extremely dangerous, because he could destroy our democracy, and seems to want to do just that.
