I've watched him recently and tried to get excited, but he says and does things that make me cringe. This was also my (liberal) mom's observation from watching him in all the 2019 debates (which I did not watch). I understand he has a stutter, but he hasn't been just stuttering - he's been mangling sentences and forgetting the words to the Declaration of Independence. I don't remember him making mistakes like that in 2008 or 2012.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

And we need to make the media recognize that Trump has no grasp of issues. guillaumeb Mar 2020 #23
