    Do you understand what goalpost moving means?

    In a couple months we’ll know what happened, the stuff we’re speculating about right now, and we’ll know who is wrong and right.

    How is this goalpost moving?

      • You say: “But Trump is still talking about Biden!”

      • I say: “Actually his latest speeches have begun targeting Kamala directly”

      • You say: “okay well maybe he is, but we’re all just speculating!”<- moving the goalpost

      Do you at least understand how this sounds? Conviction, followed by being demonstrably wrong, then hiding behind speculation.

        Ok, we’ll see what happens and re-visit this conversation in a couple months.

        We’re both just speculating right now anyways.

        Is not:

        okay well maybe he is, but we’re all just speculating!

        I never agreed with you, I just conceded that the outcome is unknowable at this point.

          It’s an objective fact that he is talking about Kamala, though? Sure how much that impacts the end-result, we don’t know.

            I haven’t talked about Kamala, you have.

            Trump attacks windmills in his speeches I’m keeping you on topic on the subject that Trump is scared of Biden.

            Anyways, we’ll revisit this conversation in a couple months and see who is right.

              Seems awfully convenient that Trump is suddenly pivoting from attacking Biden hard, to attacking Kamala and Biden less hard, but okay. If I misunderstood, then sorry. Yes, time will tell.
