I just wanted to admit to you all and to President Trump that I was obviously completely wrong to question Trump’s judgment on accepting Biden’s invitation to do the debate. I’m obviously a tad more risk averse than Mr. Trump is, and thought it was a very risky decision given the momentum he’s established in the race over the past few months.
Welp, now his momentum is yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.
So, mea culpa, Donald. Keep it going!
That is all.
Nice!
A couple of things... In much the same way that Don Rickles could say something way out of line to a man's wife in an audience that would've gotten anyone else's teeth knocked out... and get a heartfelt laugh from the husband, Trump's brand of ADD, street smart, narcissists' savvy allows him to boldly go where no man has gone before. Anyone else would have been crazy to accept that debate on those terms but Trump has bulletproofed himself in a way few others can.
So for him, it does now look like a brilliant move, but it was nonetheless a poor risk/benefit calculation for any other mortal... and could have been catastrophic. That said, there's a long way till the election and almost every factor in the equation is a variable... we'll have to see.
And anyone want to tell me the over and under on "Dr." Jill Biden wanting to step down?!?
We do indeed live in "interesting times," a Chinese curse, I believe.
But through it all, you're an anchor in stormy seas, Brother Blackmon, and I continue to believe your Stack is the best value on the planet.
Good mea culpa. Your commentary on debate last night was excellent. Trump could have used more rapier like humor and a little less bombast to pinprick the Biden balloon.
