Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: The Last Debate : Where was the Trump who won in 2016? In his first campaign, what Donald Trump stood for could be summarized as less war, less immigration, less free trade, and fewer Washington insiders. These issues were so popular that against all odds, Mr. Trump won the GOP nomination and the presidency. With media almost entirely against him, debates were one of Mr. Trump’s main ways to reach voters. It was a pleasure to watch him dominate opponents. This year it’s different. Last night, President Trump hardly talked about foreign policy. Instead, he sounded like a generic incumbent, rattling off claims about how well the pre-Coronavirus economy was doing — with special mention of low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics. The candidates “debated” immigration and crime, but in each case, the President attacked Joe Biden on liberal grounds. Mr. Trump tried to paint Mr. Biden as an enemy of blacks because of his role in the 1994 crime bill that sent a lot of blacks to prison. The President bragged about his own First Step Act, which reduces mandatory minimum sentences and lets out prisoners early. Many blacks and liberals love the First Step Act, but they still won’t vote for him. In 2016, candidate Trump said, “I am the law and order candidate. I’m also the candidate of compassion — believe it. But you can’t have true compassion without providing safety.” Last night, in his last debate, in a year of soaring murder rates and chronic looting and rioting, he said nothing about law and order. On immigration, President Trump tried to deflect liberal complaints about “separating families” and “putting children in cages” by blaming the Obama administration and Joe Biden for starting all that. Last election, Mr. Trump attacked mass immigration for bringing crime, poverty, and Balkanization. Now, when Joe Biden attacks his tactics for keeping immigrants out, he excuses himself by saying Democrats first started using them. Mr. Trump completely flubbed a question about “racism,” saying he understood why black and Hispanic parents have to give their children “the talk” about vicious white policemen. He sounded like a Democrat of just a few years ago. None of what made Donald Trump popular last time was on stage last night. He sounded like a boorish but typical Republican. He attacked socialism, radical environmentalism, and promised economic growth. He spent time on issues few people care about, such as whether he or his opponent has more murky ties to Russia and whose sanctions against Russia would be harsher. After months of rising crime, rioting, and black radicalism, running against an opponent who panders to Black Lives Matter and non-white pressure groups, President Trump got sidetracked on the details of the “Green New Deal” and bragged about letting criminals back on the streets. He could have cruised to victory as a “law and order” candidate as Richard Nixon did in 1972. Now, he’ll be lucky to make it across the finish line. Poster Comment: It's amazing how much devastation can be wrought in such a short article. ALMOST AS IF BY DESIGN Tromp the makeshift conservative ends up striving to outdo Obongo's VP in 'liberalism' at the exact moment desperate conservs are most dazzled by him. I guess I should say re-dazzled, because in between the two elections they came to see him for what he really is -- well, some did. They will again after his re-election and it will be tragic to watch. The worst of it is that we seem to be permanently reduced to comparisonism. Till the day Tromp dies 20+ years from now he'll still be crowned with laurel wreaths "because he wasn't Biden." Don't let the System play you for suckers, ameriKa -- the "desperate comparison" game works lousily in our dialectics and doesn't work as a way of political life. Are you ready to go the distance -- gun rights further eroded, more inaction on huge emergencies, more benefits for Israel, ever more hatred spewed directly on YOU -- "white supremacists" in the diseased, lying jargon of Jewish supremacism? More of the civil war already raging in our streets -- shall we take all these betrayals further in stride? After all, he's not Biden -- or Hillary! PRINCIPLES, my compatriots -- PRINCIPLES. First things. If we don't demand these we are SUNK. Stop typing -- I'm not saying Trump shouldn't be re-elected under these pathetic circumstances. NOT THE POINT. Some pithy comments under the article -- there are lots more: So What You’re Saying Is... Xanthippe2 • 21 hours ago Joeric Xanthippe2 • 21 hours ago Someone1980 • a day ago Question Diversity • a day ago • edited First off, I don't remember the debates four years ago being any different than the ones this year, in terms of our kinds of issues being brought up (or the lack thereof). The Trump that you think was MIA in yesterday's debate was also missing in the 2016 debates, and is the campaign Trump. That's mainly because these debates wind up being about what professional "mainstream" journalists are concerned about, more than what average people are concerned about. No matter the year. dd121 • 21 hours ago • edited Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 21.

The problem is, Trump was lying and by now too many people know it. Therefore, he will not be reelected.
He's got the election in the bag -- and will go down in history as a great president simply because the alternative is even worse. George Washington presidential legacy: the father of his country. Thomas Jefferson presidential legacy: too much to mention. Andrew Jackson presidential legacy: killed the 2nd National Bank ad inf -- 'sought to advance the rights of the "common man"[1] against a "corrupt aristocracy"[2]' JFK presidential legacy: lost his life attempting to end Vietnam and get us back on honest money. PDT presidential legacy: being less horrifying than Joe Biden -- a demented liar, communist politician and the most flagrant living sex pervert in the land.
Perhaps you are right but I don't believe that, other than their talk, there is much difference between Trump and Biden so, IMO, it doesn't matter who wins. Regardless, after this election, with 90% of blacks, a large majority of Hispanics, most Asians, and perhaps a majority of white women believing in socialism, there will never be another Republican president, and the country we lived in as young children will be no more.
I agree with your analysis. The socialist democrats have had the superior numbers for some time, and with mass immigration, gov school brainwashing, and jew-controlled media their numbers are growing all the time. The democrats could have won in 2016 if they had not run Hildebeast, and they could have won this year if they hadn't run Biden (and if they hadn't allowed the BLM craziness to go quite so far). Republicans will never win the US presidency again as long as they pretend to be to the right of Karl Marx.
I lived through the best times of the USA--low taxes and lots of freedom. At my age, I may not live long enough for the worst times but I believe they are coming.
