Musk is unsurprising but to be fair to Trump he made some comments about bitcoin that seemed to go down well.

I'd say the answer to that will be a tough one for him! Good lord is he actually going to try shoot himself vs Harris?

Also, (and I'm not asking this in any pro-Trump way) having seen a few clips claiming it (from republican sources, of course!), I'm starting to believe Harris is actually on the sauce constantly. I was showing the wife a compilation of it the other day because it reminded me of herself when she's trying to carry a political conversation after a few too many. In a totally non-partisan way, have any of the rest of ye here noticed that at all, or seen the clips? It really does look like it

[Ollkiller]

Never noticed it tbh. She was good in some senate hearing I watched ages ago. Tbh if she did just sat back and drank her way through the vice presidency I'd have no problem with that lol

[astfgyl]

Ah yeah, for all the difference the VP actually makes I wouldn't blame her!!

He did fine. The woman interviewing him was very hostel towards him and he handled it well. She opened up with a loaded question and he destroyed her. The Twitter post above is bullshit if you watch the interview it is clear the crowd are laughing with him not at him. TDS seems to be back in full swing and panic is setting in now.

Are they saying Boo or Boo-urns?

I don't know want you define as fine but it was a total shitshow. He doesn't like a question and starts rambling about fake news and other bollocks. If any other politician had an interview like that they'd be canned. And interviewers are there to ask tough questions. It says a lot when the interview was scheduled for an hour and his own people pulled it after 35 minutes.

I think he did do fine and that the interviewers fumbled the ball, but there's a lot of context missing: like him blaming the delay on the hosts having equipment issues when it was actually a dispute over live fact-checking, which they had to compromise on in the end. That's a pity, because every single answer he gave would have been fact-checked. I watched it to the end but actually got pretty bored. His endless "They say it's X%, but I think it's more/less/whatever suits me" is very tiresome at this point. And there are several points where it's unmistakeable that the crowd are laughing either at him or in sheer disbelief at what he's saying. He did get a couple of chuckles, but each time less than he was expecting. And the reception when he arrived on stage, muted is the only word for it. But overall, he did actually carry himself rather well. Better than the first journalist to tackle him, who was presumably riled up about him refusing the live fact-check, etc., but better composure from her in particular I think would have made quite a difference.

Do you really believe any other politician be it Harris, Biden or whoever else would have been interviewed in the same manner Trump was? Or they would have been asked the questions with the same hostile attitude? It is very rare that you see these types of interviewers ask tough questions but she didn't ask tough questions she just phrased things in way to try and trip him up to get the sound bite for the likes of twitter posts you linked above and it failed miserably.

The entire interview she was saying black this, black that and it was a black journalists conference then she jumps on him when he says black jobs.

Harris was suppose to be there which is the reason why he agreed to it and then he was told when he arrived that she wasn't going to show up.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

"was told when he arrived" feels like bullshit. Harris and her team were holding a campaign rally in Texas at the same time (the NABJ convention was in Chicago). Not a surprise rally either, but a publicly advertised one which Trump's team absolutely would have been aware of. As with blaming equipment for the delay when actually it was his team disputing live fact-checking, Trump was either lying or he has the most incompetent team imaginable.

But I still agree with you that the ball was fumbled due to excessive hostility. When I watched the whole thing, I was taken aback that the clip I'd already seen was actually the first question. Bad tactics and Trump held himself well. While lying through his teeth. Generally good optics overall for him, typical bullshit content, and only a few times where his level of BS damaged the optics. Natural that people will focus on those moments. And if he'd been fact-checked live, there'd have been a lot more of them.

Having seen a few clips since, he made shit of that obviously biased and hostile interviewer and the crowd was definitely laughing with him

Edit: reading the criticisms of him above and fair enough he can be full of shit when he likes but Harris is fuller of shitter than anything I've ever seen so he's still a better pick if one has to pick, which I don't. I still can't believe they'd pick her tbh, they must have had better than that

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

He can be full of shit when he likes? As in, all the time?

He says some good stuff sometimes but it does be fairly obscured a lot too.

Kyle Rittenhouse is after causing some MAGA pain, I see. The fucking laughing I was doing reading comments from people who donated money to his legal defense fund and are now devastated. Ah jaysus it's brilliant.
