The September 10th Presidential Debate
- Thread starter gwb-trading
- Start date
Karl Rove: “Will this debate have an effect? Yes, though perhaps not as much as Team Harris hopes or as much as Team Trump might fear. But there’s no putting lipstick on this pig. Mr. Trump was crushed by a woman he previously dismissed as ‘dumb as a rock.’ Which raises the question: What does that make him?”
Donald Trump:
He promised to cut the deficit. He added $8T to it.
He promised to build a wall. He only did 458 miles out of 2,000. Most of it was repair or replacement, not new.
He promised to make Mexico pay. They didn't.
He promised to unveil a new healthcare plan. It didn't exist.
He promised a middle-class tax cut. He cut taxes for the rich. The middle class is paying for it.
He said he wouldn't play golf as President. He made 250 visits (way more than Obama) to his own golf clubs. It cost taxpayers $150 million.
He said he'd increase economic growth by 4%. He didn't. President Biden did.
He promised an infrastructure plan. He had none. President Biden signed a massive one.
He promised to hire "the best people." He fired 3/4 of them and then said they were the worst ever.
He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs. He didn't: President Biden did.
He promised we'd win the trade war with China. We didn't, It cost about a quarter million jobs and hurt Americans not help them.
He promised his corporate tax cuts would help and benefit Workers and corporations would use that money to invest in American workers. They didn't, they used that money to buy back stocks.
He promised to bring back and revive the coal industry. Never happened - more coal jobs were lost during his presidency.
He promised to drain the swamp. He didn't: He WAS the swamp.
Jan 6th … never forget!
Like watching a gorilla trying to swat a fly.
Were black women ever going to Trump? I thought it was primarily black men Trump was gaining with. Maybe they were more likely to stay home.
Was his best point...then drowned it out with screams of immigrants eating cats and dogs... trump cannot get out of his own way even when he makes a good point....
