    Trump suggested that restraint would be unfair since his Democratic critics are “getting personal all night long.”

    This shows why it was paramount that the Democrats left the “high road”. Trump has no clue how to react when someone finally hits back at the bully.

      Baiting Trump to keep doing the thing that his voters are starting to hate because he can’t shut his damn mouth is so funny I’m actually surprised the dems are doing it.

        It’s all about principles and turning the other butt cheek like good people do, as if that was going to convince the bully that their way is wrong…

          It’s not about convincing Trump, it’s about getting the Independents to vote.

          Dems won with Biden in 2020, so they figured that he’d be fine in 2024.

          If something worked for a long time, people are reluctant to try something new.

          I myself was leery of Biden dropping out, and I was shocked by the Kamala surge.

            I’m not talking Biden or Kamala or Trump or who needs to come out and vote, I’m talking about the way more progressive people act in general, they believe people who are harsh and disrespectful just need to be shown a better way because if progressives can be good people so can anyone else, just like bad people project unto others their own faults (if I can imagine myself doing X, it means everyone could do the same, the best example being all people who committed election fraud being Republicans when they’re the ones acusing the Democrats of doing it).

            I don’t know why so many democrats think themselves into closed boxes like this. Biden was a very poor candidate from the beginning, and was one of the worst candidates chosen from the original primaries. He (and the democrats) nearly blew the 2020 election, and were only saved by Trump’s massive failures with COVID-19.

            I mean, go back to Obama selecting this man and people hated the guy. I recall people ranting and pleading with Obama to pick someone else.

              The Dems do this because the Left stays away from the process and then [possibly] shows up on election day.

              AOC jumped in with both feet and got herself elected. And seen plenty of people rage on her because she didn’t set herself on fire to fight the Dem leadership.

          Lol turning the other cheek is not about your butt, it’s for if someone slapped your face, so you turn your face to give them the other cheek to slap

        Right? I was taught to not start fights, but if someone wants to attack me and mine, to make sure that I finish that fight. I get wanting to be the bigger person, so to speak, but at least defend yourself.

      Also he will never be able to turn the tables and take the high road because he’s trash. Trash with enough money to impress Americans, but he’ll never be able to speak or act like a truly classy person.
