The Commission on Presidential Debates has had a Republican who worked for Ronald Reagan as its executive director for every day of its existence.

But thank you for the reminder that the aspiring fascist in the White House is losing Republican support.

Incidentally, Bob Dole not only voted against creating Medicare, he *bragged about it* while running for president in 1996, a campaign in which he also compared smoking to drinking milk.

Bob Dole is very bad, and has always been very bad.

Oh okay one more Bob Dole tweet. Here’s my all-time favorite campaign ad:
Oh okay ONE MORE one more Bob Dole tweet: Bob Dole is a liar who tried to delegitimize John Kerry’s Purple Hearts, because Bob Dole is a very bad person.

This is Bob Dole. This is who supports Donald Trump. Image

I guess this is the bow I’ll wrap things up with:

Bob Dole once attacked his future running mate by saying Jack Kemp “wants a business deduction for hair spray.”

Donald Trump, as we know, took $70,000 in tax deductions for hair styling. ImageImage

This article contains no actual data. If you click through to the Gallup poll it links, you find a negligible gender gap, and *89 percent of men wearing masks.*

Women are doing better than men, but this article badly exaggerates the gap & normalizes Trump as typical of men. ImageImageImage
Stop linking to bullshit articles that make broad claims without offering any data to back them up and in the process make the deadly behavior of our asshole president seem like an inevitable and natural result of genetics. Thank you!
Screenshots 1-3: The New York Times pretending that men reject mass wearing in large numbers, while presenting no data.

Screenshot 4: Gallup poll finding *89 percent of men wear masks,* which NYT links to as though it supports NYT’s point.

Extremely dishonest! ImageImageImageImage

Every single reporter demanding that Joe Biden answer a question but not demanding Pence/Trump answer a perfectly straightforward question about abortion bans in a post-Roe world is demonstrating their own bias.
The question Harris didn't answer last night was a question that *Mike Pence asked her so that he could duck the moderator's question about abortion rights* and the entire news media is helping Pence, revealing their own biases.

This little feeding-frenzy is a wonderful example of how reporters carry water for Republicans.

Pence ducked a moderator question about abortion, asking Harris an unrelated question to distract from it. Reporters privilege Pence's dodge by making the story about Biden/Harris.

1)Trump has never had a net positive approval rating for a single day of his presidency so I don’t know what this guy thinks “popularity” means.

2) there are actual polls that tell us what “regular” people thought of the debate, and they thought Biden win.

3) projection!
If you mean white people, just say white people.
Also Wikipedia tells me this guy grew up in New York City. I grew up in a rural town of 300 people. Fuck this.

Remember, if you’re writing an article or column about this debate that portrays both candidates as having behaved shabbily, you could instead simply tattoo “I am Dumb” on your forehead and make the same point in fewer words.
Trash
Updated headline is still trash

My debate analysis is that Donald Trump is a goddamn asshole.
“The fact is this man doesn’t know what he’s talking about” is the line of the night.
though "will you shut up, man" is a close second.

Hello, journalists! Please read @creynoldsnc’s excellent piece, to which I will only add the attached screenshot of something I wrote 14 years ago, nearly to the day. More true than ever!

Image
particularly if the media covers it as “wow, that’s probably effective” (a worthless assertion even if true, but also completely speculative and probably false) rather than “here are seven ways Trump lied” (verifiable facts of value to readers/viewers!)
