Trump has been claiming the fix was in before he even got on stage—and is getting a slapdown from the debate hosts.

    Trump told Fox & Friends that he felt Harris was “awfully familiar” with the questions as he debated her.

    It’s called preparation you bellend.

      Let me guess, it went something like “The corrupt and lying ABC guys made a question, and Kamabla knew the answer! That’s not how it’s done, that’s not how Trump does it, everybody says so! I just say whatever comes into my beautiful mind, the best mind, people tell me with tears in their eyes, even famous asylum seeker Hannibal Lector!”

      I’m sure the staffers multiple times have shown trump the list of questions from ABC during their “policy” meetings

    Anyone running for President should be able to rationally predict which questions they’ll be asked in a debate.

    1. Inflation.
    2. The economy.
    3. Israel/Gaza.
    4. Russia/Ukraine.
    5. Abortion/Roe.
    6. Jobs.
    7. Energy.
    8. Education/Student Loans.
    9. Court reform.
    10. Climate Change.
    11. Crime.
    12. Immigration.

    And they should be prepped and ready to discuss any and all of those topics.

    The last time a candidate got an out of pocket question was when Clinton got the “Boxers or Briefs?” question.

    What a sore loser. It was such a huge loss that, rather than trying to force a debate to happen on Fox, he’s just going to give up and stop debating all together. He’s such a joke.

    Let’s say he’s right… let’s say “the fix was in” and let’s say the hosts were out to get him.

    No one made him talk about eating pets. No one made him talk about Harris giving illegal immigrants gender reassignment surgery in prison. No one made him say that Harris needs to sign a bill right now that congress didn’t have to pass. No one made him say Biden doesn’t know whether or not he’s alive. Etc.

    He lost the debate because he ranted and raved like a complete nutball.

      That seems excessive to keep taking a corpse behind the woodshed and shooting it again every day. Once should be enough.

    LOL. It’s like any tertiary level test. You don’t know the questions but you do know the content. Learn the content and tailor it to the questions.
