I hate that tatic but it is all part of politics, clearly Trump should of done the same but I suspect he surrounded himself with ass kissers and conspiracy theorists who told him cat eating immigrants was a good one.
It's bad politics to delve into something like this without clear, totally substantiated evidence. It's an unnecessary distraction during an election cycle.

All you have to do is note the chaos in Springfield, OH. People there don't seem to be too happy. It might very well be an example of a small City and Mayor that took the bait of federal money to accept refugees.

I don't know if the strategy of "dangle some bait and let the other guy implode because he can't resist taking it" is one that she ever had before so we don't know if she was capable of it in 2020.
I want to say that this is because he is a 78 year old man. However, I think this is always who he was and he can't let inconsequential criticism roll off his back.

He lost, but I found he was energetic, at times his rebuttals were well constructed and his closing statement was strong. (So was Kamala's.)

I didn't realize that preparing is cheating.

"Failure to prepare is preparing for failure." That was validated last night.

Even her walking over and forcing Trump into a handshake was thought out

Her laughing at Trump during split screen and her bemused look was totally rehearsed

Now that I think of it, were her ear rings thought out? She gave the Trump the excuse to say they were ear plugs telling her the answer and that may be what they wanted.
Give Trump more excuses to say stupid stuff as they realize the public are sick of it

He has always been this way a bit.
But I think he did have more self control before.

Another aspect of this might be that he's been in political debates for 9 years now.
There is a lot of game film, as it were.

That he was baitable has become obvious and I also think people have learned more and more what bait he can't resist.
So his self-control goes down and the lures get shinier until you get what happened on Tuesday.

BREAKING: The Kamala Harris campaign just got caught BUSSING in thousands of people for her rally in North Carolina They cheat at everything, and apparently, even crowd sizes I've been to two Trump rallies in two different states. The people at his rallies are locals from the area and want to be there What Kamala is doing is bizarre and WEIRD.

The guy has two ex-wives. He should be used to this.

Again you're taking posts out of the context of the thread.
There is no context when you say that she seemed rehearsed, as if that was something bad.

I've been having that conversation with more and more friends lately.
Nobody trusts any sources anymore, and that's messed up.
Steve Jobs saw it early in the early 2000. He wanted to cut deal with media as he saw the proliferation of blogs. And how unreliable and false majority were.

It did not work. Facebook took over. Twitter, google. Then many others.

Look at all AI generated post made falsely about Taylor Swift Trumpers… This is scary as no truth will exist anymore.

We are entering an era we’re stupidity will rule and whoever talks loudest will win.
