How Will Tr**p Handle Questions About This School Shooting In Georgia?.....

Isn't Georgia a battleground state. I would think that Tr**p will have to choose his words carefully - if questioned about this shooting.

He usually gives them about 10 seconds and then goes back to talking about himself.

I believe that Kamala has answers for the MSM - if asked about this shooting.

You can bet your boots that it will be a well thought out answer with real solutions for preventing such incidents in the future.

I also believe - however Tr**p answers or doesn't answer or comment on this shooting - Kamala will be ready with biting answers to make him step on his tongue and shoot himself in the foot.

... schoolyard name-calling. Even sadder that the media treat the name-calling as a serious contribution to the discussion about critical national problems.

My question is not so much what he’ll say but what he’ll be asked about his plan to curtail this kind of thing, about red flag laws, gun controls, the NRA’s position, etc. He and Kamala will have positions and they’ll be important for our future.

And you know he’ll tap dance and blame and make it about windmills or something.

I would be willing to bet VP Harris will be questioned about this shooting before the convicted felon is.

like Fox or Newsmax.

They're the RW Press and that's their job - lobbing softballs to Repukes.

Rules and normal order are for suckers. Hope Kamala and the moderators are ready for that-- out of bounds, off the wall and bats**t crazy. And all that assumes he even has the guts to show up which I think he knows he has to or he will be labeled a wimp but but if he can construe some issue or slight as an excuse he might bail.

and after about 10 or 15 unintelligible words he will be off to how he is was lucky he didn't get killed when shot at, then on to the crowd sizes at his rallies....Oh, and then telling everyone to "get over it".

And then blame it on the victims.

Then he'll find a way to play the victim somehow.

will swing voters care about whatever he says? Only if the media makes a big deal about it, which seems unlikely

He makes noises with his face that sometimes sound like words in English, but since they never make any sense they can't be said to have been chosen carefully.
