You may well be right about “effortlessly laugh and dismiss.” My own problem with Trump debating Kamala is the visuals. All he has to do is disagree with her, sneer a few times at her claims, and huge swaths of the electorate will say: “Do you see how he’s BULLYING her? Now I’m DEFINITELY going to vote!!!”

With Hillary it wasn’t the same problem. Hillary herself had bully vibes. Kamala just has forlorn digbat vibes.
yes it's a lose-lose for Trump to debate her -- no upside at all. Media will say she "won" anyway, and that Trump was a racist bully no matter what. The stories are already written. And given Trump's unfortunate tendancy to try to joke around and be clever, he might actually say something extremely stupid about her parents or something.
That's a perceptive comment, Eric. But Trump can discipline himself when he needs to, as he did in the Biden debate. He can also be quite charming when he wants to. Though I concede you have outed a concern of mine, I tend to think he'll be able to avoid the trap.
Yeah, and I made my comment before the news hit about his appearance before the black journalists, in Chicago. He has a point, but some points are best left unmade. He has really hit a slough.
What is shocking to me is the speed and thoroughness with which the Vance/sofa vileness has gotten into the public's awareness.
In a democratic system, the temptation to term one's opponents "evil" is almost always a mistake, but not this time. And just as the Democreeps have gotten first, weird, now, the sofa, into the public's mind right away, we have to use our surrogates to link the word, "evil," with the Harris campaign. NOT Trump, NOT Vance, but the rest of us shouldn't hesitate to use it.

I think yes, he *can*, but sometimes does not. For instance, I think he flubbed his debate with Biden before the 2020 election.

Yeah, his remarks are a classic example of Trumpian misstep. He gained three votes and lost half a million.
Ouch. But I'm afraid you could be right.
He may be fluff, but he's our fluff.
Yes, it really is that bad.
