This is ludicrous. The Republicans have nothing to worry about. It does not matter to their voters at all. He could start shouting "kill, kill, kill" until he has a seizure and craps himself on stage, voters: "just like Jesus"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

You sure about that /s?
I think the commenter missed the "rs" after "/s"
I just thought at the last second it was disrespectful to people with seizures. The s probably doesn't help with that anyway though
Yup, Trump can't do or say anything wrong. He could literally eat a baby on national TV and his base would search for scripture to justify it.
Please vote for Biden. We're going to see some serious fucked up shit if Trump wins. Project 25 will make it happen.
Trump is the larger of the two, why shouldn't he simply eat the baby?
Perhaps they're saving that for election day
Wait til you find out Project 25 is just another Mandate for Leadership put out by the Heritage foundation since 1981. This fascist train has been rolling for a long time, and it’s going too fast for us to get off it now.
With trump, the trap isn't his loyal base turning on him, it's having a motivated population against him. He benefits from apathy. If he falls into traps that cause bubble voters to show up, that's the trouble for him.
There will be lots of traps for Trump. Like getting asked questions, and having a microphone. Gotta watch out for those.
Meat hanging over an obvious net trap.
~~Meat~~ Hamberders hanging over an obvious net trap.
Like if Biden says, "never have I ever committed a campaign finance felony," and then Donald has to two-hand wobble his little drink up to the sphincter on his face to take a swig.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
With just days to go before Donald Trump and Joe Biden face off in the first presidential debate, Republicans are concerned about the possibility of the former president walking into a trap in front of a national audience.
Fearing a repeat of the chaos of the first 2020 debate in which Trump kept interrupting and speaking over both Biden and moderator Chris Wallace, senior party figures are urging him to stay calm and follow the rules.
The issue is clearly on the former president’s mind too, as he asked supporters at a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday (June 22) whether he should be “tough and nasty” or “nice and calm” and let Biden speak.
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, once a fierce Trump critic and now one of his staunchest allies said: “The main focus is going to be: is Biden capable?”
One potential Trump running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, recognizes the importance of the debate but is confident that the former president can stick to a theme that appears to resonate with many voters.
The debate will be hosted by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash in Atlanta on Thursday at 9pm est — there will be no studio audience and moderators will “use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion”.
The original article contains 1,029 words, the summary contains 221 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Is the current president and former vice president capable of being president.... tough question.
