How can anyone who heard Joe think tRump is a better choice?

[BigmanPigman]

He covered everything and hit all the right issues with the right plans.

[Vinca]

1. My husband just said almost the exact same thing. No idea. I can't figure out why

anyone thinks Trump is an even adequate president, much less the best as they keep telling us.

[dflprincess]

2. I almost cried listening to him

and wondered if this is how people felt when the heard FDR speak about his plans and vision for what we can be.

[txwhitedove]

7. FDR was a hero to grandparents who lived through Oklahoma dust bowl and depression.

[dflprincess]

18. He turned my maternal grandfather from a Republican to a Democrat

-- with the help of Hoover using the army to attack the Bonus Marchers.

And, as my mother and her sisters point out to more conservative members of the family. They had food on their table as kids because their dad had WPA jobs.

[Raven123]

3. It's that thinking thing. Some folks have trouble with it.

[Celerity]

4. Rump supporters want to hurt the 'right' people, even if many of their own are steamrollered as well

[Skittles]

5. Joe doesn't hate enough to please the rightwing racists

no indeed

[kimbutgar]

6. It was so nice to hear someone talk about things that affect everyday Americans and not Fox

Talking points. That $15 minimum wage will be big and since we will have those 50 votes in the senate it can happen.

We need to stream roll the turtle and flatten him out !

[Cirque du So-What]

8. Well, he did mention programs helping minority children

I could hear millions of jaws tighten at the thought of ‘the undeserving’ getting something beneficial to them. This is what we’re up against.

[CentralMass]

9. For some it is hard to hear with their heads up their asses.

[Cetacea]

10. Dems need to invest in some decent microphones

Sound is extremely important, especially when it comes to TV.

But that is for another day. Great to have an intelligent and experienced democrat at the helm again!

[torius]

11. They don't hear him

They see little clips of him stumbling over a word on Fox News. That’s all they got. Besides laptop blahblahblah.

[unblock]

12. Are you kidding? He didn't tell us which football players need to be fired!

[Mr.Bill]

13. I still hear them say he is

in full blown dementia and can't put a sentence together. And they will say that until the day they die.

[BainsBane]

14. Trump mirrors their fetid, rotting souls

We have a deep sickness in American society, and I'm not talking about COVID.

[BlueIdaho]

15. Not enough hate, not enough racism, not enough conspiracy

and not even a hint of insanity. I mean really... you call that a Presidential speech?

[badboy67]

16. Trump appeals to nativists, racists, bigots, small-minded cliquish idiots

Flat Earthers, religious fanatics, the demented, etc.

[captain queeg]

17. I always notice the hand gestures. I know that's pretty trivial.

I don't use my hands much when I talk. My company sent me to a Dale Carnegie workshop years ago and they talked a lot about how it was important to be animated when speaking. I see some speakers and their gestures seem contrived somewhat. Both of these guys do some, but whoever coached trump to use that weird accordion double hand thing? Using two hands doesn't make them look any bigger donnie. Not an important thing, but it adds to the mystery of why some people love to hear him talk.

[BigmanPigman]

21. The people notice when he makes the OK/white power sign.

Was this ever a good thing? How long has he included his jazz jands and OK signs in the past before he became POTUS or are these new gestires since 2016?

[Vivienne235729]

19. They're the same idiots who think antifa was in the capital

This level of cognitive dissonance is beyond my comprehension too. It is too pathological.

[betsuni]

20. Or the Both Sides garbage.

When impeachment was announced the ABC News person said "both sides" about five times. As in, both sides are worried about the soul of the country and both sides are arguing the same points but coming to different conclusions, and both sides blah blah blah.

And the garbage about Democrats not caring about anyone but the 1% -- I still can't believe the person who in an interview the other day said Democrats had the presidency and Congress for two years under the Obama administration but "did not deliver for the American people." As if the ACA was nothing and wasn't terribly difficult to pass because Democrats only had the senate votes for a little over four months during those two years, Republicans didn't win the House because Democrats "did not deliver for the Americans people" and Both Sides. Can't believe anyone who isn't a Republican would say such a stupid thing.
