Suggest you rephrase that to be more clear: "That there is something wrong with this guy"

Now, it's uncool for them to be "coherent."


Where phony preachers "speak in tongues," Trump merely has his tied in a knot.

It was intended to be a metaphor about Biden, but it turned into Trump talking about his own experiences with the mob.

... rattled because mayors, governors, and Biden are telling the public what he's all about. I hope elected officials continue to speak the truth about Crooked Donald. He has no common courtesy for people, so he should receive none.

to respond to Biden's earlier speech. It's obvious he's in some distress with that sluggish delivery, and that Stephen Miller or whoever wrote that crap didn't have much time to come up with something somewhat credible.

He can barely read the words, let alone make a decent analogy. This is going to get so much worse.

I think what Biden needs is a rapid response team to follow this type of garbage dump and respond back in realtime. Be it Biden himself or his surrogates, these accusations and smears need to be answered quickly, clearly to draw the contrast between the two men. Underscore the difference, again and again and again. As much as I admired Hillary Clinton, she and her team ignored a lot of Trump's craziness. Because it was crazy trash talk.

This time out? I'd play it different and bat the garbage right back into Trump's filthy court.

Mob? you say. I wonder why Donald Trump would insert the Mafia into his conversation? Does he think those exercising their constitutional right to protest is akin to the Mafia? Does that apply to BLM supporters or anyone who questions the status quo and/or opposes Trump's failing Administration? Or is it that the word 'mob' automatically triggers the word Mafia? Wonder what that's about?

Biden's team needn't call Trump insulting names, just setup an immediate interrogatory on Trump's verbal spew, oral and tweet rants. Dissect the charges and then throw them back. If the team can use humor, all the better. For instance, I thought Biden's question about whether voters buy into the charge that he's a wild-eyed socialist was an effective approach.

"Really?" Biden quipped. He smiled but the knife he carried was razor sharp.

We need more of this.
