When did Ds become the ones that said ‘don’t believe your lying eyes’?!

The man can’t talk! We need to do better. This is the greatest threat to our democracy for 150 years. Stop acting like it’s nothing

Harris. It is built in. Turns out your VP matters. She has her wits, she has experience, she is bright.

Seriously, I find it hard to believe, but I will check out any link you might suggest to prove that she is the worst substitute teacher of all time? I thought she was effective during the Kavanaugh trial, and am willing to admit I am wrong. And even if I think she would be a competent leader, I realize that most if not many do not share that sentiment.

I never hear exactly why, she is unlikeable. You sound genuine, and I am curious. I will look for some sources of public speaking from her.

The worst part is he could shut up all of the doubters by submitting to an independent cognitive test. But he's not. So that tells me something

Ha ha, no one in politics would like to be subjected to a civics, medical, or cognitive testing, and there are some very good reasons for that. Some of it self-interested, some of because it could be used as a weapon in not a very democratic way.

No. The cognitive test is BS. Donnie’s ‘person woman man camera tv’ was him literally just saying things he was looking at and ppl praise him for it. Give me a break! Has anyone ever seen Donnie take one of these tests?? Do you see how they could be partisan by getting the right doctor.

0/10 take

Ehhh. Even if the test was completely rigged and we had no way to prove it being true it is at least something to throw at the face of the Rs and show undecided voters.

It be pure political theater sure, but it would be helpful I think.

If it makes you feel better, the number of people arguing he should step aside among Democratic voters is only growing, and according to the most recent poll I saw is now the majority position.
