Where do they find these MAGA idiots? The misuse of the word "inculcate" in the midst of that blather was especially embarrassing.

The political discussions would be more informative if they would ditch the purblind Trump supporters. Conceding that people might vote for him despite not responding favorably to his personality is meaningless. He is a writhing bag of contradictions and easily distracted. He has redefined the scope of lying in politics. He is "unserious." As for the economy, the public remember events better than gaps of time. Pollsters should ask, Were you better off financially during Covid than you are now?

Scott Taylor is utterly mendacious. What a relief to discover that he hasn't held an elected office since 2019. It is not surprising to learn that from the same year four of his staffers (but not Taylor himself) have been indicted for election fraud.

Kind of amusing to hear a Trump surrogate to talk nonsense, but what it comes down to is that Trump talks sh1t.

Why ask Maggie Haberman to comment on legal proceedings? CNN has lawyers who provide legal commentary. Despite the MAGA talking points, the trials are not politically motivated and what Trump's advisors are saying is (at best) collateral to the actual news.

Let's reflect on how lacking Donald Trump is in both self-control and decorum that the Presidential Debate saw fit to implement a policy of controlling the debaters' microphones.

Trump has been brash, spontaneous, and frankly vulgar throughout his adult life. So, sure, Trump *might* be more disciplined at the debate. He also *might* wear a suit and tie that fit, abandon the orange makeup, and ditch the ridiculous comb-over. 🙄
