Trump... doesn't want Ukraine to win the war? He dodged the fucking question?
he also dodged if his mass deportation would involve door to door military action
Iirc, he dodged it twice. Like, how the actual fuck do you think you'll remove 11 MILLION people from the country.
When asked how he would handle Israel differently he said "It would never have happened, how Russia invaded Ukraine" sir, that's not what we're talking about
I don't think he answered a single question.
Nope, not a single one. I kept memeing a crab walking sideways. I think he thinks it's a power move but he just came off as totally unprepared.
Pretty much the same as the debate with Biden.
He dodged every question and shoehorned in "the border" for all of them.
he did have one answer to the obamacare question he had the "concepts of a plan" which is almost as stupid/funny as saying "my dog ate it"
It would have been the funniest thing in the world if Harris had latched on to that and been like "Maybe you should take another 6-10 years to golf and think about it then come back. "
Of course he doesn't, it's a miracle he's smart enough to realize he can't say he wants a Russian victory.
The Draft. Questions. It’s all the same. He dodges more than the auto manufacturer.
He wants to be friends with Putin. He's gonna dodge.
He's scared of Putin.
Did you see the look on his face when Harris said that Putin would eat him for lunch?
He doged the easiest question of the whole debate.
Not hard, since he dodged the others too.
They even asked him a second time even more directly, "Yes or no: do you want Ukraine to win in the war against Russia?" And he still wouldn't just say yes or no. It's like the easiest softball question you could ask for and he whiffed.
All he did was reinforce my suspicion that Putin has some pretty strong leverage on Trump.
