    His bluffs are never-ending and he can put that to rest by simply not hiding from the public. Just get out there and talk. He doesn’t need to stand on a stage while Trump yells over him.

      I disagree, I think showing the contrast directly is necessary in the face of modern media bubbling. Trump yelling over him does not hurt him.

          Unfortunately, a fair number of people, most likely. People can have short memories with politics, and the presidential debates tend to draw a wide audience. On top of that, some people are simply new to the political world in the past 4 years, finally reaching voting age and such.

          He’s a veteran politician, spent decades in the Senate. There’s probably few people on the planet that can handle yelling as smoothly as he can. He’ll benefit from facing it down. People want strength and resilience in a president.

              No, but she had to battle sexism and subconscious biases. He’s in a different situation.

              Hilary probably should’ve gone for the nuts. It’s not fair, but neither is politics.
