He's terrified of anyone - especially women - who are more intelligent than he; which is pretty much anyone who doesn't support him.
If he was as terrified as you say he is, he would not have even gone.
And if he had not gone, you would have said the exact same thing.
You just love to have your cake and eat it, too.
They tried to "ice" him making him wait for 30 minutes past the start time. He could have left saying he is running for POTUS and his time is valuable. Instead he patiently waited and showed up. He goes places that neither repub or dem will go. He went to the hood in Detroit and was told that no democrat, including Obama never showed up there before.
Trump may be a lot of things. Terrified is not one of them. Try again.
Harris didn't have the wherewithal to even show up. They were both invited.
Yeah, I know about the alleged "schedule conflict". Weak. She is running for POTUS.
I would have loved to see her face some actual hard questions. Why has she not yet had an actual press conference with a real Q & A session ?
Given the legs of Trump's appearance at the NABJ conference, I thought I'd take a look.
He's a train wreck. He doesn't have a single policy idea, and the standard "red meat" MAGA rally lines just fall flat when nobody cheers.
The first question could have been more elegantly delivered, but he went off the rails before she was done asking. He is an asshole... but that's what the MAGAs love about him
And two things about his opening 1) attacking the messenger about how they disrespected him to put them on the back foot and 2) trying to shift the topic from him to the person hosting. Pretty blatant âI donât know what Iâm doing, oh, and did I mention my fragile ego?â

I'm sure you're the only one here who consistently refers to himself as the only one here who... {name your beleaguerment}. Funny thing is that it has never been true.
Kurt sees himself as a righteous victim. It's a personality type.

As being the only one here (of the regular participants) with any actual long term blue collar work experience, I will have to say that it is the repubs.
Yes, I do have a 30 year history of blue collar work in the heart of the blue collar rustbelt.
So based on the replies, there is no party that represents the blue collar / working class.
You all are out of touch with this world.

How did the Great Globalization and sending manufacturing jobs offshore - supported by Republicans (coupled with massive tax cuts) help Blue Collar workers?
Was the great devastation of the rust belt just a mirage? Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Illinois, et al would beg to differ.

You're happy to make assumptions, because you feel like everything is happening to you.
You're blue-collar. You live in the rustbelt. You've been wronged, and you're angry.
But what if you're wrong? Put your emotions aside for a bit, and consider the possibility that you're being used by Trump.
What if your support of the Republicans is about their willingness to blame someone? Blame anyone... but it's not your fault or bad luck... it's a conspiracy against you.
Trump is using that anger against you. He says what you want to hear, and because you're emotionally attached to that message (finally... someone speaking for you), you believe he's on your side. He's not.
I worked in a steel mill, a scrap yard, drove a box truck delivering furniture throughout the Northeast, worked for a tire repair shop (mostly truck tires), and did a few dozen short-term stints of very manual labor working for a temp agency. In high school, at 5 am, I delivered newspapers junior and senior years. I got a degree... and moved behind a desk, but I haven't forgotten what it was like to shower after work instead of before.
I'm not out of touch with the world, and I appreciate the struggles across industries, with the current economy, and the frustration that comes with feeling like you can't get a break. It's a common experience for 80%+ of us at some point.
But what I know is that Donald Trump isn't interested in fixing your problems... he's interested in using your frustration to get him elected so he can solve his own. Middle and working class people are better off under Democratic leadership. It's the story of finance since WWII. Democrats elevate workers and the middle-class, and Republicans find ways to extract the wealth in the system for a very few. It's a cycle, and it's consistent.
20 years ago I would have said "the lower the tax rate the better", but I've grown to appreciate that we have a duty to everyone that in this country to help out a bit. I'm not talking about welfare state... I'm talking about reasonable measures to help people who need it. Healthcare. Food. Housing. Especially kids. Republicans want to rail about homelessness and crime, but then destroy any program that support them. You respond to the anger, and ignore the neglect. Sure many programs are inefficient and fail, but it doesn't mean we should stop.
I'm not a registered Democrat, and I find a lot of their policies insane... but they are at least trying to help others. Republicans are not.

Seriously. Read your posts before you hit 'submit'. There has to be some part of you that knows this is ridiculous bullshit on so many levels.

As soon as you're born, they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all 'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool 'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function, you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
Thereâs room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
So tell me, just who does represent the working class these days if not the repub party ?
