re: #206 Jay C

I’m gonna disagree: despite you and I (and most Lizards, I’m sure) looking on Trump’s foreign policy as an embarrassing shitshow, I think- as far as public opinion goes - it’s the one last vague, flimsy straw he has to cling on to to try to even remotely appear “Presidential”, and he’s going to try - one would imagine - to flog it for everything it’s worth in a debate.

Of course, it’s likely to be the usual simpleminded boilerplate (“I love Israel! I hate China! I love Saudi Arabia! I hate Iran!) and its mindless corollary (“Joe hates Israel! Joe loves China! Joe hates the Saudis! Joe loves Iran!”) , plus the usual fan favorites about “open borders” and “MS-13 gang caravans” and whatever, but the big problem for Biden and rhe Democrats is that this shit plays well in the “heartland”; and given that the “MSM” is probably going to pathetically grasp at that same, last, pathetic straw as the last chance for a “Presidential pivot”, a FP-centered debate is not going to be the runaway it should…

I’m sorry, are you disagreeing that Joe shredded trump’s alleged foreign policy in response to the idiotic townhall question that “trump should get credit for peace breaking out around the world”?
Sounds to me that you are commenting on something completely different.
