CNN flash poll shows Trump as clear winner of first presidential debate: 'Stunning number'
CNN's flash poll following the presidential debate showed that a strong majority of viewers believe former President Trump won the showdown against President Biden.

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


A flash poll conducted by CNN following Thursday night's presidential debate showed former President Trump soundly defeating President Biden.

The CNN poll posted on air showed that 67% of debate watchers felt that Trump won the debate compared to 33% who believe Biden won the debate.

CNN's poll following the final 2020 presidential debate showed 53% of viewers felt Biden won compared to 39% who said Trump won.

The majority of users on social media seemingly agreed with the CNN poll including liberal pundits.

"This debate was a total and complete disaster for Biden," former CNN commentator Chris Cilizza wrote on X .

"He looked old. His answers trailed off repeatedly. He was hard to understand. He would stop in mid-sentence and move on to something else. I NEVER thought he would be this bad. Stunning. Truly."

CNN flash poll from Thursday's debate(CNN)

"Stunning number from voters who witnessed his performance with their own eyes," political commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin posted on X in response to the poll.

Biden's team pushed back on the narrative that he lost the debate including VP Kamala Harris, who told CNN, "It was a slow start but a strong finish."

"Joe, you did such a good job!" First Lady Jill Biden said to the president on a stage after the debate. "You answered every question. You knew all the facts."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Biden campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

For our enemies around the world: the unpredictable one is making a comeback.

For the third world: America is a sovereign nation.

For the radical left: The party is over.

Oops there it is. . .of course it won't be respected and probably not even remarked on, yet hyperpartisanship must be pushed back against:

CNN's Daniel Dale fact checks Trump's and Biden's claims made in debate   cnn

Can't post this IMPORTANT video yet (not on Youtube that I can find), but y'all need to hear Daniel Dale explain Biden's 9 lies and Donald's 35 lies.

(And if/when you do listen to the video, note that Daniel does not count the lie Donald uttered on stage that he did not have sex with Ms. Stormy Daniels.)

So melodramatic. There is nothing to hide away from on this. It was a rough night for Biden. One debate does not cancel or decide a political outcome—especially in June. Wait for the reaction of the candidate to his own 'shortcomings.' Biden will need to look at the playback and see how he was portrayed in split screens and captured in relief to self-determine if he can do better going forward. Or, if it is as good as it gets. 

As for Donald, we expected lies and his lies were SPECTULAR. But, lies can't be the be all that wins a presidential election. Performance (by lying) can't be all intelligent people want in a president or we as a nation are truly 'messed' in the head and get whatever failures of our systems that we will deserve if so.

It was sad watching all the people who have been backstopping him the last five years turn on him last night.    These people have no shame, no honor, little character.    It’s just win, no matter the cost.

After creating basement Biden, they finally threw him to the wolves.    Next up, as predicted months ago, Michelle Obama or Gretchen Whitless.

Who are the Democrats going to replace Joe with?

They pass Kamala over and they might as well kiss the black vote goodbye; and she makes Joe still look good. Hillary is more toxic than Trump; and hated more as she proved in 2016. Gavin Newsome only has his inept handling of CA to run on- besides he is male, white, and straight- the radical left would eat him alive. If they go with Whitless the governor of Michigan- I would volunteer my team to help make videos of all the times she violated her own Covid mandates; her war on a barber during Covid; her incompetence of putting people diagnosed with Covid into retirement homes (nothing like exposing the most vulnerable- but a good way to get them off the SS doll); and she has the multiple dam failures she is directly responsible for in her efforts to protect an invasive species of mussel.

The Democrat bench is bare. The only thing they have left is to imprison Trump at all costs so Biden runs unopposed.

I think they have to figure out a way to get whitmer on the ballot.  Given their racialist obsessions, it’s going to be next to impossible to pick anyone but Harris, but they have to if they are serious about wining. Another white male is out of the question, so that probably leaves whitmer and hope the woman selection help staunch the racial issues bypassing Harris will cause. 

harris is the only reason Biden probably ran for a second term to begin with.

Zero chance of that  September debate happening, unless biden is down so far he has nothing to lose.  I think a big part of the reason they held it so early is they could ditch him before the convention or knew they would cancel the second debate and hope the memory fades by election time,

Well, since I firmly believe being a politician should in no way ever be a viable lifetime career choice, I think they all should be limited to two terms.

One in office

And one for the same length of time they served in office in prison.

Now that's term limits I can get behind.

They won't be able to admit it, and as far as deflecting to Trump, the invariable, inevitable, tired old comparisons will continue to abound.

Ever notice how few can actually endorse Biden, but so many can defend him merely by comparing him to Trump--a man they have whined, bitched and moaned about for 7 years, as if being 'better' than Trump is some kind of fucking "achievement"!

Maybe that's Joe's claim to fame.

CNN did no favors by showing Jill (at least I think it was her) rushing out to help Joe down all of 5 very easily traversed steps to go talk to the moderators. 

Joe did himself no favors by having a completely bewildered look on his face for most of the debate with his mouth hanging open. A fly could have entered set up shop, laid it's eggs, and departed w/o ever having it's life in any type of danger. Joe wouldn't have noticed.

Nice attempt by Joe's handlers to stage a waffle house stop in to try and prove Joe still had something left in the tank after the debate ended. It was so badly staged it hurt. They were literally waiting on him to enter. Employees and customers gathered around the entrance with eager expressions. Wonder how many customers and employees had to be kicked out who wouldn't go along with keeping a rapt, empty, expression on their faces? I am sure Joe's handlers wished Joe could have mimicked their expressions during the debate.

t seems like a lot of left-wing pundits are in panic or perhaps defeatist mode after Bidens disastrous performance. I thought the response of "The Young Turks" guy in the article below pretty much summed it up. It's over...Joe and the Dems have lost. We knew this was coming, it's amazing the progressives did not.

Seems he forgot the troops killed in Jordan as well.

.

Three U.S. soldiers were killed yesterday in Jordan, while more than 40 other service members were injured following an uncrewed aerial system attack at a military base near the Syrian border. Those service members were in Jordan to support Operation Inherent Resolve, which is the U.S. and coalition mission to ensure the defeat of ISIS. 

The three soldiers killed are Sgt. William Jerome Rivers of Carrollton, Georgia; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders of Waycross, Georgia; and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett of Savannah, Georgia. All three were assigned to the 718th Engineer Company, 926th Engineer Battalion, 926th Engineer Brigade, Fort Moore, Georgia.

The attack occurred in the early morning at the logistics support base located at Tower 22 of the Jordanian Defense Network. Approximately 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel are deployed to the base. The three soldiers were killed when a one-way uncrewed aerial system impacted their container housing units.

As Biden confirmed all the worries of his candidacy last night, so did trump. With a Biden victory, the established checks and balances should ameliorate the potential problems. Under trump, all that goes out the window. 

The ugliest election in our history gets more surreal by the minute, but it is still of the utmost importance to cast a ballot. Mine will never be cast for trump, for as ignored as it is, character still matters.

Was all that "out the window" when Trump was impeached twice, or when he was indicted, tried, and convicted, or are we all supposed to pretend that none pf that ever happened now?

Of course it is. Beats index cards, powerpoint projection,  and papers that can blow, absorb moisture, or otherwise 'unsettle' themselves (nearly every time). 

All presidents, leaders, show anchors, and speakers do or would like to read from teleprompters, because it is a stay on point tool. A speaker who wants to hit 'hot points' and keep a stable train of thought in a ruckus environment should use proper tools. 

Mocking the teleprompter for being a service tool for its user is a misplaced attack.

And sure, when we all get mature elderly (75 and over) a teleprompter can come in handy for us when engaging in public speaking. It can aid in overcoming those damn "senior moments."  Those moments are the 'pits.' You know you have something important to say; add; emphasize and damn it's just 'gone.'

Happens everyday to somebody on the planet. Hey! I bet it's happening right this instance somewhere day and night! :)

I have told this before, but in the late 80s and early 90s I lived in Little Rock. My firm did quite a lot of business with The Rose Law Firm. Though I never worked directly with Mrs Clinton, I met her there several times and heard a lot about her. Besides that, I was a young man about town and so I knew what was going on. Hillary is a boring workaholic nerd and a Methodist church woman. She is the kind of woman who dotes on her close circle. The type who remembers birthdays and always sends wedding and baby gifts. The reason nobody ever nailed her no matter how hard they tried is because she is a brilliant lawyer and never broke any laws. In real life she really is nice and boring. She would've been a very good President. Way better than Trump!

Bill? He is a true scoundrel through and through, when it comes to women. He loves them all. Bill would flirt with the women in nursing homes or colleges. President Clinton is also a brilliant lawyer and smart enough to stay with Hillary.

America would be way better off if Billary were finishing their 4th term this year...

I could use many adjectives, all bad, to describe Trump, suffice to say I would never vote for a person as unethical, with "morals like an alley cat", as Trump.

Trump's previous administration/staff was awful, a second one would be as bad, or worse. Trump's second term would be focused on revenge and retribution. 

Biden is doing an OK job; I doubt any president could to a "good" job today. My opinion is Biden has a good administration/staff around him which accounts for alot.

The fact checking would have been a rerun.  Trump didn't say anything new; every one of Trump's 'lies' have already been fact checked.  Are we really supposed to believe this time would be different?  

It was Biden's task to keep attention focused on Trump.  That's been the strategy for Biden's reelection since he was inaugurated.  Democrats have expended a lot of time, money, and effort to make the 2024 election a referendum on Trump.  Biden was not up to the job.  It's not Trump's fault that Joe Biden's ego got in the way.  Biden was trying to sing his own praises and defend his policies and actions as President instead of focusing attention on Trump.  Joe Biden allowed attention to shift onto Biden's time in office.  And Biden's defense of himself began sounding just like Trump.  

So, now will the 2024 election be a referendum on Trump or a referendum on Biden?  Trump's strategy obviously was to focus attention on Biden's Presidency.  And the reaction by the media suggest that Trump was successful.  The conventional wisdom in unconventional times is still that elections are referendums on the incumbent and Biden certainly didn't do anything to change that.

​'Rigged': Trump ridiculed after claiming to win two golf trophies at his own club

image.jpg?id=24835209&width=1200&height=718

Donald   Trump   on Sunday was met with sharp criticism on social media, not for being found liable for business fraud or sexual assault, but because of a brag about his golf trophies.

Trump, who earlier in the day   raged   against Fox News for its coverage of his civil fraud case, took to Truth Social to celebrate a purported golf victory.

"It is my great honor to be at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach tonight, AWARDS NIGHT, to receive THE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY & THE SENIOR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. I WON BOTH!" Trump   claimed .

ALSO READ:   11 ways Trump doesn't become president

He continued:

"A large and golfing talented membership, a GREAT and difficult course, made the play very exciting. The qualifying and match play was amazing. A large and distinguished group will be there tonight. Very exciting, thank you!!!"

Columnist Molly Jong-Fast, @MollyJongFast, asked, "Do they just let him win everything lest he accuses the club of 'rigging?'"

Journalist   Aaron Rupar   wrote, "get a load of this effin’ guy."

A popular account by the name of Marlene Robertson, @marlene4719, said this:

"So Trump is off to his golf club to accept two golf awards. And can you f------ believe he won both awards! He wouldn’t 'rig it' would he?"

An account known as The Gardener, @hmcadena, chimed in as a means to debunk Trump's claims.

"I’m a golfer and belong to a private golf course. 77 year old men don’t win The Club Senior Championship, much less win the Club Championship," he said Sunday. "Of course the only people that believe trump (sic) won these tournaments are the same fools that believe his lies about winning in 2020."

Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski also weighed in on Trump's post about golf.

"Speaking of things that are rigged," he said on Sunday.

Nope, that’s your job.    Anecdotally, I haven’t called for Biden to drop out either but liberals like you sure are.    Big time.

My question would be why? if Biden is their nominee and they are arguing adnauseum that he is fit to serve, why are they saying he should drop out? Are they lying to themselves and the American people about how fit he is to serve? Or is the TDS so strong they just can't see past trump?

All part of the master plan.    The debate was just the most recent move.    Time to inject who they really want.    My money is on the 2016 chosen one.    Next after that maybe someone like M Obama or G Whitless

Concentrate on why whomsoever your group is prefers a convicted criminal and subjugates other conservatives beneath him. BTW, before 2016 the GOP chosen one was a 'nobody' politically. Yet, whomsoever your group is literally denigrates, intimidates (probably even calls the 'new' determined RINOs up with threats of varying kinds) all for the sake of Donald "the mover and the shaker."  When the pendulum swings back the other way. . . it is going to cold-cock whomsoever your group is and it will be well-deserved for the arrogance of trying to subjugate a nation freeing itself from the last vestiges of 'Archie Bunkerism."

Donald is democracy's biggest problem and whether whomsoever this group is you are member to believes it or not; Donald is working his butt off to not even be controlled by YOU! Donald appears to be some unbridled force rampaging through the political system (because he knows what is best for him/it) and it is evident that anybody/group that gets in his way . . . he will steamroll over and flatten. Whomsoever your group is seems to enjoy the poisoning that is doing its best to happen to others. . . but when Donald gets the highest court to AFFIRM his immunity (in many aspects or totality) he will ultimately take on all 'comers' who don't like his brand of leadership. 

At some point the so-called, "devil you know" will look much better to you than the newly-minted MEGATRON thrashing through and downing your ideology.

Maybe.  Maybe not.  But Donald Trump is not Democrats' biggest problem.

At some point the so-called, "devil you know" will look much better to you than the newly-minted MEGATRON thrashing through and downing your ideology.

When Trump was President, the world was pretty much at peace.  The war in Afghanistan was winding down.  North Korea wasn't testing missiles every other week.  China wasn't flying surveillance balloons over the continental United States.  Putin wasn't itching to invade Ukraine.  Israel was establishing diplomatic relations with Arab countries that became the Abraham accords.  European NATO countries really did begin contributing more to their own defense.  Trump wasn't groveling to a Saudi Prince to increase oil production and lower the price of oil.  

Since Joe Biden was inaugurated, three and half short years ago, the world has spun into chaos and conflict.  The fall of Kabul was reminiscent of the fall of Saigon in 1975.  There are wars in eastern Europe, wars in the Middle East.  Iran is threatening the United States.  North Korea is threatening the United States.  China has become more aggressive.  We're spending more money to defend Europe and NATO again.  

The "devil we know" already looks a lot better.  Like it or not, Trump's time as President was a brief period of peace and prosperity.  Biden's record as President simply doesn't compare favorably with Trump's record.

Come on. . . whomsoever your group is can't take credit for SILENCE. . . it comes and goes. . . as much as the noisy passages of cars on a freeway. . . may break into a bloc of quiet that is astonishing to people who live behind communal sound walls. Also, our munitions did not that are ready when needed (now) were the same ones ready when Donald was in office. . . signifying it was only a matter of time. Luckily, Donald can declare himself the "peace-time' president only because others sought to OUTLAST the 'chaos' president (his own country detested for his manic personality) for a seasoned politician who, at least, understood the mechanics of true diplomacy (and the games politicians play with each other). 

But, chaos can only get one opportunity to materialize and manifest itself, before human ingenuity overtakes it and proceeds to its goals and conclusions. . . that is, by the next time Donald may serve (forbid!). . . dastardly villains will have a plan for the so-called, newly-minted 'tyrant' who has yet to whip his countryfolks into the texture and contours of their own well-experienced, seasoned, and distilled programs.

Beside, Donald will be sued at every turn. . . protested at every turn, or yes, . . . worse . . .because the days of U.S. 'master-servant' relationship are OVER! 

Yeah, I can hear the wheels of whomsoever your group is minds whirling. . .y'all are making friends of the 'right' types in high places across the globe as support networks to suppress and hold your detractors at bay, down, and out. . . but, networks WORK and are built in varying opposing ways too—by nature.

That is your concept of the truth or worse. Just something for you to consider: Donald is responsible for the removal of thousands/millions(?) of conservatives who were thrown, abandoned, or walked away from their party and they did not see the 'axe' until it dangled over their political heads! That is the nature of the individual whomsoever your party is supporting.  When he came for them. . . you did not support them. . . who will support "YOU' when he comes looking for the loyalty test you are unwilling to 'sign'? (Rhetorical.) 

When you tell him to ease up and he orders "you': "Begone!" It will come full-circle.

Neoliberals are not conservatives.  For neoliberals it's all about the money.  Even social liberals expect Democrats to put public money where their mouths are.

Donald Trump Admits He's Not a Conservative

3/11/2024

Former President  Donald Trump  admitted on Monday that he is not a conservative, saying instead that he's a "man of common sense."

"People say, 'you're conservative,' I'm not conservative, you know what I am, I'm a man of common sense and a lot of conservative policies are common sense,"  Trump said while appearing on CNBC's  Squawk Box.

. . . .

Last month, Trump delivered a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and called himself a "proud political dissident ."

When whomsoever your group is stops making commonsense to Donald (potentially after he is 'kinged') y'all will be vanquished from the 'Group' too!
