Who gives a damn what the world thinks of us? The sooner we learn to stop trying to gain Paris’ and London’s favor, the better off we’ll be.

Rasmeussen which is Trump's go to polling site to brag....has Biden up by 8 points....and saw Trump's approval drop a couple of points.

Specific numbers aren't the key -- the key is the trend -- and immediately -- it isn't looking good.

That may change as Trump's campaign spins the disaster that was last night. But historically his team is not the best at doing it.

Meanwhile, Joe smiled, and looked into the camera. He looked calm and presidential.

Demeanor and body language speak volumes.
"Looking presidential" and being presidential are very different.

They just might adopt and do that as needed .....

Debates commission plans to cut off mics if Trump or Biden break rules

From link.
- Washington -- The commission that oversees the general election presidential debates said Wednesday it will be making changes to the format of the remaining two debates.
- One key change it plans to implement: Cutting off the microphones of President Trump and Joe Biden if they break the rules, according to a source familiar with the commission's deliberations.
- The plans have not been finalized and the commission is still considering how it would carry out the plan.


THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH SHOULD SHOW MUCH BETTER THEN THIS LAST DEBATE OF LACK OF OUR COMMANDER AND CHIEF CONDUCTING HIMSELF IN A PRESIDENTIAL MANNER WE ESPOUSE THEY SHOULD...

Clearly this is needed.

Sad that it was though.

Last night was an embarrassment to this country.
Agreed.

I think they need to put each one in a booth, and cut off the microphone when it is not one's turn to speak.

No more of this juvenile kind of behavior.

Nobody put this on Trump.

Trump could have easily just said -- of course I denounce all white supremacists and ALL violence. This is not who we are (basically exactly what Biden has said right after Floyd's death and and again and again.

Why couldn't he come up with his own statement. He basically said last night -- what do you want me to say -- that doesn't show me he isn't racist -- it tells me he will say what he needs to say -- without conviction.



Biden condemned Antifa?

Got a link?

Sounds perfectly normal to change the Rules and move the Goalposts in the middle of the match..... this is exactly what Hidin-Biden demanded at his first train stop today.

What a CoInkyDence. Pretty obvious where the Debate Committee And Moderators Stand.
What will Hiden Demand next?

Comical to read anyone believed or claimed Trump or Bidden performed well coupled with the moderator: of which consistently redirect a pair of 70yo chaps.

Shame on the two geriatric fellas and everyone pointing their fingers at the opposing party.

Furthermore- We're apart of the Problem and Solution yet too foolish to stop and think or pause and ponder. Very little progress due to finger pointing yet it goes on and we're divided more while possessing less..close your yaps, hang your ego at the door and Roll up your sleeves; we have work to do.

It's appalling witnessing so many geriatrics and middle-age types behave like whiny children.

The act of protesting should never be allowed to overshadow the reason we protest. It should not drive people away from the just cause that protest is meant to advance."


on June 2, he said, “There’s no place for violence, no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches or destroying businesses […] we need to distinguish between legitimate peaceful protest and opportunistic violent destruction”
June 2nd -


And again the end of July and in August he condemned the violence.

Some conservative pundit tweeted out that the August statement was the first ---- it wasn't.
