A Dukakis Moment...

[Bryce]

From challenging an old man to wrestle, telling an auto worker he's full of shit to asking a black reporter if he's on drugs. It's bound to happen. The one singular gaffe that will tank his chances. The question is when?

Here's the original "Dukakis Moment."


Then again, he may have a Howard Dean moment.

Trump showed us in 2016 that moments don't matter anymore.

Attacked a Gold Star family

Mocked a handicapped person

Boasted about groping women

The voters loved it and rewarded him for it.

Nah. The Dukakis Moment has already been mastered and executed by Trump many times over. Especially recently with his “inject disinfectant” news briefing viral video burned into everyone’s memory.

The GD Liar, Putin Licker, International Laughing Stock, watching TV, Tweeting, and Golfing his way through his current dereliction of duty and draft dodging legacy - is overwhelmingly cemented in history, and in the minds of voters. Fox and alt-right radio try to spin it all away - but even Trump cult scouts with their badges of loyalty proudly displayed to the end - as they die alone of covid - ALL SECRETLY KNOW they are cowardly victims of the GD Liar-in-Chief and cannot bring themselves to admit they are helpless to extricate from his con artist sway.

When mentally ill narcissists who aspire to unquestioned authority over everyone - openly reveal who they really are, day-after-day, hour-after-hour, scandal-after-scandal - Tweet after Tweet, rally-after-rally, and treasonous act after treasonous act - it’s hard to keep excusing his destruction of The United States of America, The US Constitution, The CDC, The United States Postal Service, The US State Department, The US Department of Justice, Congressional Oversight, The Rule of Law, The Office of the Presidency, The Reputation of The USA around the world, The Destruction of Democracy, The Destruction of The American Dream, The Destruction of the US Economy, and The Destruction of The Lives of Americans.

There is nothing US Senator/Vice President Joe Biden can do or say that would ever make him seem worse than Donald Trump.

In fact his entire life places him on a superior level of trust, experience, and decency that Dumb Ass Donald - wallowing in the sewer with his scared yes men, KGB-ers, criminals, and conspiracy cons - could never hope to understand or attain.

God Bless America and the hope we now have to end this dystopian disaster of a presidency - and move on to a man and his administration who can - as a team - under his caring and experienced leadership - restore our beloved suffering country to self-respect, honor, a bright future, unity, respect around the world, justice, respect for our constitution, respect for its mandated checks and balances, and in general replace constant chaos with carried-out plans to heal at every level, and create a calm and steady momentum forward.

ATTN READERS: This is the kind of post you'll be able to write if you're reasonably intelligent and have been paying attention. Consider it a goal.

All Bullsh*t DNC Talking Points. Polly wanna a cracker..

This is truly what scares me about America in 2020. All of these things actually happened, whether you like them or not. Perhaps too big of a deal was made over them (I personally doubt it, but an argument could be made) but they certainly weren't "talking points" anymore than Monica Lewinsky was a "talking point." Their impact on the candidacy of the persons in question can also be discussed as far as how it affected voters on all sides.

I'd be glad to argue/discuss/debate the actual policies and actions of both candidates, and would be glad to concede many points about Democrat and Republicans. However, I anticipate Mr. Bedell to slap me with a stupid meme and call me a name. And to me.. that's sad. Whatever happened to "agree to disagree" shake hands and move on? If Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill could do it, why can't we?

[Turkeytop]

but they certainly weren't "talking points"

They may not be Talking Points in your view. They are when you see hundreds of the same phrases being repeated by the Swamp Media, all the DNC/Liberals on a variety social platforms, over the last four years, then they "talking points."

BTW: What name did I call you that you took offense to ??

But it happened on Nation wide TV with dozens of people watching.

"Talking Points" - : things that lend support to an argument
also : a subject of discussion

So according to Merriam Webster, I stand corrected, they are talking points. Although my sense is that you feel "talking points" implies something more.

BTW: What name did I call you that you took offense to ??

Pardon me, I was profiling. You have in the past responded to criticism with names and memes. I should be more careful.

The Russian Collusion Talking Point was pounded in our heads for 4 yrs by the DNC and the Swamp Media.........and it DID NOT Happen.

But certainly, that's outside the scope of a "Dukakis moment" that is the subject of this thread.

It seems that the line "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and get away with it" is a better description of today's political climate than Dukakis in a tank. Perhaps a Hamilton Burr solution would save money and time. (And just to be clear, that is a sarcastic comical comment.).

Admit it...

Both CLIntons laid all the groundwork necessary for the current Whitehouse occupant to be there.

Credit where due.

This Dukakis thing was back in 1988. I barely remember him. There was a "tank clip" that stood out in that year.

As far as Biden Gaffe's, the end is not in sight.

Funny enough it makes him look more authentic.

Crap, my memo said it was Obama's fault.

So many villains to fight, so little time...

Absolutely... Google "Bill Clinton cleared the path" and you'll read about it.

But the President's are just "Democrat Talking Points"?

I remember it well. Ol' Honest Uncle Gigolo Joe '88 bid was sidelined when he 'occasionally' lifted others' speech 'themes' and made them his own...
