Report: Trump Poised to Throw Enormous ‘Curveball’ Just Before Debate

This could really shake things up in Atlanta.

As the clock ticks closer to Thursday’s presidential debate pitting former President Donald Trump against President Joe Biden, a report is circulating that Trump could be springing a big surprise on his Democratic opponent.

And upending the presidential campaign in the process.

NBC News reported Tuesday, citing sources identified only as “people familiar with the situation,” Trump could be revealing his running mate before he and Biden even take the stage at CNN headquarters.

Trump has previously said he would reveal the name of the individual he’s chosen before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, which begins July 15.

But that timetable might have changed considerably, and Trump is now considering a “curveball” that could knock Biden off his already-unsteady feet.

“People familiar with discussions about a pre-debate announcement had differing views about Trump’s leanings,” NBC reported.

“One said he is eager to fill his ticket before he squares off with Biden. Another source said he would like the opportunity to throw a curveball to distract Biden before they meet but understands that such a move could create logistical and political complications.”

Any news report is only as credible as its sourcing, and anonymously sourced reports should always be treated with a grain of salt.

But there’s no denying a Trump announcement on a running mate would be a headline-grabbing move that would suck up the oxygen surrounding the Atlanta faceoff.

It would be a national story. It would put Trump on top of the news cycle. And it would almost certainly set his opponent back a step.

In short, it would be exactly the kind of move Trump has been making since he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015 to announce his bid for the presidency.

Something to that. “It was the humane thing to do.”

“Trump’s only demand was for Biden to take a drug test.”

***********

Trump should have insisted on this, made it non-negotiable, based on the right if the public to know if their leaders are on any type of medication.

Unfortunately, no one in the GOP ever demands anything of their opponents.

Bring Hunter’s mistress and kid to sit in the audience. Or start reading from Ashley’s diary.

Have to go with the diary - the dems got a "no audience" rule for the debate. I guess they were afraid Biden would be distracted and wander off stage.

If he announces it early, it should be in reply to his first question. That keeps PedoJoe from being prepped AND keeps the “moderators” from prepping “gotcha” questions.

Fortunately our priest celebrates some Masses with the Latin responses. And he celebrates Ad Orientum! We are blessed. And sometimes we sing the Salve Regina, will never forget that.

Wonder if somebody without TDS releases some information on Biden with proof.

If your going to guess go all the way.

Sting ensues?.
