    Ten years? So you came on here when Trump started his political run?

    All that happened is when Trump made a big deal about it, people went back and started posting video of him doing the same thing multiple times.

    Regardless, it's not impacting the votes. No one that hasn't voted and is unattached to Trump already is saying today "Biden called Trump's people garbage for calling Americans garbage. That makes me angry enough to vote for Trump."

    Well, I assume that (a) they aren't paying you much, and (b) they aren't getting their money's worth.

    They are Russia, after all. It's on-brand.

    You are right it wont swing anyone, but it does fire up the base to get more of them to the polls. It is all about voter turn out

    We know Biden said it. We're not fucking stupid.

    But let's have you admit ALL the things Trump said that we have video of.

    You won't, but that's par for the course for anyone that lost their soul to Trump. Sorry you got played.

    Trump's base already was going to the polls.

    They can't vote more than once.

    He's not adding anyone because of what Biden said.

    As you yourself admit, it's not going to draw swing voters, and MAGA already were voting for their leader, so Biden's gaffe doesn't gain Trump anything. You have to hope that it convinces someone who was voting for Harris or considering voting for Harris not to vote, and I just don't think that's going to happen when Trump's surrogates offended Latin-Americans, women and left-leaners at MSG and Vance is on Rogan right now continuing to take shots at LGBTQ Americans ... none of that is getting any non-MAGA people to vote for him or not vote for Harris, either.

    I'd say this was out of touch if it was something other than an articulate guy polishing bigotry. It's still not adding any votes for Trump but it might drive a few more people away.

    BTW, this is just more of this "us/them" campaign they've run that's such a loser. If Trump loses this election, you'll never hear from J.V. Couch again.

    Well… Trump has not attacked Felons and people in prison yet. Figure he’ll wait until he knows he won’t be going in to see Buba personally.

    Interesting that your second key is
    2. They need low-information people who don't typically vote to decide to come to the polls and cast a ballot their way.

    So my point stands that it fires up the base/Trump supporters and gets more to the polls.

    I like how you state your OPIONIONS as facts. I love the world you live in.

    BTW, anyone who wants to see a good reason why Kamala Harris didn't want to go on Rogan should watch his podcast with Vance right now.

    The complete lack of self-awareness on both sides is mind-blowing. These guys are both coming off as the top of the heap of bigots.

    Hey, Joe's trademark over years has been making wild ass comments, which has nothing to do regarding how good a politician he's been. Obama selected him as his running mate to add not only solid experience, but some good time off the cuff character, to the campaign. Thats always been Joe.

    I don't know if you didn't reason what I told you or just ignored it.

    Trump's base ALREADY was going to the polls. They can't vote multiple times. They aren't convincing any large number of other people to go with them because Biden offended them. Biden didn't offend non-MAGA.

    If you have two people in a group that fit a certain demographic and already have participated, you can't split them or multiply them so they can participate again. This isn't the Publishers Clearinghouse were if you get excited you get to enter every day. They get one vote apiece and only one, and members of Trump's personality cult already were voting and people outside Trump's personality cult aren't voting for Trump because Biden said people in Trump's personality cult are garbage.

    BTW, I love opionions on salads and subs. High in Vitamin C and low sodium.
