Like I said before, I agree with her on some issues, and I agree with him on some issues, so I have to base my vote on whom I think has the temperament, the brainpower, and the personality to function effectively as President.  And it's not him.  Kamala Harris pushed his buttons and played him like a fiddle, right there on stage, when he should have been prepared, so if you still think Kamala Harris is an empty suit, what do you think other people who are not an empty suit will do with him?

I won’t disagree about Trump, however, I will ask if you could provide an example of when he was goaded into making an irrational decision during his term. I’m not denying it happened, but an example to backup your assertion would be nice.

On the other side, Harris is an empty vessel. She may have sounded prepared last night because that’s exactly what she was; groomed and coached. On her feet she’s not smart. If she wins the election, she will be a willing figurehead for others to manipulate. Of this I have no doubt.

Valid point, but there's no way I could give you such an example because I couldn't possibly be in the room when or if it happened.  And I won't be in the room when Putin tells Trump he's the greatest President the US has ever had, and he's so handsome it's no wonder he beds so many women, and by the way, why not let me have Ukraine.  This person you call an empty suit, and not smart, played him like a fiddle last night.  You say she did that because she was groomed and coached, but if it's that easy to take this "empty suit" and "not smart" person and do that to him, what do you think a smart person would do?
