Do the steroids help with coughing? I seem to recall having an crazy bad cough a few years ago and getting whatever over the top prescription medicine for a cough was and it doing nothing, then googling and reading a lot on 'yeah science blows at coughs.'

It'll be real funny if it happens but I'd recommend against anyone getting too deeply invested in the idea that he's going to cough his lungs out and croak on live TV. I doubt his handlers would let this happen if they weren't at least modestly confident that he could get through 30 minutes or so without embarrassing himself any worse than usual.

Nobody "lets" Trump do anything, sometimes they can convince him that something that doesn't sound too bad is good for him as well

I wouldn't be surprised if he just comes out and waves at the crowd, has some doctors say he's the healthiest man in the world and was cured of Covid on Sunday, and then maybe he gives brief remarks. That's it.

graham refusing to debate just reeks of desperation.

he got bodied by Harrison at the last debate, and is at best in a dead heat with him polling wise. He's being crushed in fund raising.

He's hoping that he can avoid another embarrassment while rallying up the chud base, but that poo poo ain't working at the moment. If graham had anything to offer the people of South Carolina he would have showed up.

He wants to host a couple hundred people on the south lawn probably few to none wearing masks. Enjoy your hot zone idiots!

Harrison has a real chance and the only thing fueling my hope is that Graham has turned into a sniveling crybaby whining on every conservative show for money. However, the American people are incredibly stupid and I see Graham winning again.

They should hold the debate with Harrison and a cardboard ladybug in place of Graham

There are seriously people that believe that Hillary Clinton shouldn't be one of the dozens of people tried at the Hague and imprisoned for life that were involved with the last two decades of American foreign policy? I honestly can't understand that kind of mindset.

Hillary Clinton is absolutely someone who should be put on trial (as as most presidential staff as well as the men themselves) for things she has done.

Hillary Clinton is absolutely not someone who should be put on trial because butteremails as a thin pretext for jailing the political enemies of a rapidly degenerating wannabe dictator.

The first is unlikely to happen ever, for the obvious reasons that most political leaders are guilty of these things and nobody wants to set a precedent if they can avoid it.

The second is, while not likely, significantly more likely at the moment because Trump is batshit insane and telling the difference between what he wants to do and what is just him saying whatever pops into his mind is distressingly hard. Even if he targeted a person who deserved punishment, the fact that punishment would be laid down out of spite and awfulness is not something to support even if you like the end goal, because it isn't only bad people who would be targeted by such a thing.

Not really. In a round about way they could but generally they wouldn't be prescribed for coughing. There are other meds that can help like dextromethorphan and other opioids which do have an effect on the cough center of the brain. Benzonatate (Tessalon) kind of works but it's not super effective. There are actually studies out there that say warm tea or coffee with a teaspoon of honey is superior to pharmacologic agents like corticosteroids. Nothing can really fully suppress a cough though, they either decrease the frequency or the severity. It'd be hard to hold back a cough even if you were taking all of those things.

Graham has no idea how to run. He's panicking because he has no idea how to do this. He ran unopposed among his own party for an empty seat (against a Democrat in South Carolina), and that has been running as the incumbent ever since.

Sadly it's only down to the Americans who live in South Carolina, and the white people down there are about as die hard republican as it gets. The only reason why it's even close is the large african american population, so hopefully they turn out at a record pace and the Republicans are discouraged by the two dumpster fires at the top of the ticket and don't bother to vote. That's pretty much the only way to win a state wide election there IMO
