    WHAT? You seem to suggest a man who has filed multiple bankruptcies and cheated subcontractors is a business man in the finest sense. Come on man. That's just ludicrous.

    As opposed to a candidate that shies away from entire networks (and the truth)? Actually, Harris went into the lion's den and did an interview with Fox News, did she not? Trump was too weak and feeble to even consider doing a second debate, especially if lying was not going to be allowed. I've never seen a U.S. presidential candidate do "fact-free" interviews and debates until Trump. Trump and Vance both seem to be afraid of the truth. Are you?

    Some people are not great at public speaking. The job is mostly decision-making. Both knowing what issues to make a priority out of, and what the best solution to the issue at hand might be. Public speaking is secondary. And yes, Trump is horrible at both.

    Even the best presidents and presidential candidates do not answer all questions completely and honestly. Many will deflect or answer another question, or give vague statements, because they know that the honest and complete answer is going to offend one group or another, and make it harder to get elected. So Harris isn't FDR or Reagan. So what? Can she be a good president with imperfect speaking skills? Of course. Being honest (or relatively so) makes her a far better candidate for president than Trump.

    for you specifically and considering it’s in this thread, yes. The same for my phrase for the same reasons. But just that phrase uttered by anyone by itself, no. (Btw, admittedly I’m offering way too much analysis for a political joke.)

    NBC let Trump run a pair of free ads during Sunday Night Football and the NASCAR race yesterday to address the campaign’s equal time request.

    Ultimately Trump probably got the better end of that stunt - SNL averages around 5 million viewers, while Sunday Night Football tends to be the most watched broadcast show every week and runs around 21 million viewers.
