Biden hasn't worked in 47 years. He's even too lazy to campaign. But I'm to believe if I just vote for him, he'll suddenly start working?
Come on, man!
I don’t trust him one bit. If he gets in AOC and company will rule.

It is a term of honor not authority. Even military officers are addressed by their rank even when they leave the service. A full professor that no longer teaches is still referred to as Doctor because they have earned a PhD.

You're most likely correct. Even Biden voters are claiming that he "won the debate" and should walk away and not participate in anymore debates before the election.

Our candidate sucks so lets use anything we can as an excuse to justify not participating in any further debates before the election.
Bottom line: Had Biden done well, they would still want him to continue to do so in more debates before the election. In fact, Biden barely hung on and at times throughout the debate, sputtering and losing the direction of his dialog. Even Biden supporters are surprised he went the distance. They don't want any more debates because of how he went the distance by just the skin of his arse.

Exactly part of the problem. Why can't they find a moderator that is Right leaning? How about someone that is just neutral?

What is funny is how they are talking about allowing the moderator to cut the mic on the candidates if they start interrupting but from what I have heard about this they are giving Biden a pass as if he wasn't interrupting as much as Trump was?



Trump was right when he said that he felt that he was debating 2 people. It has to be tough to enter into the debate arena to face your opponent and the referee is also against you. No wonder why Trump was lashing out. If he had stood there and just took the abuse the Lefty headlines would have been "Trump doesn't care if he wins or loses!"



It will be great to have another debate but hopefully it will be more civil and Biden won't be calling our President names.

LOL. I think the handlers of Lil' Donnie are the ones thinking about this. Trump has been pretty roundly trashed for his performance on both sides of the aisle.

That said, I think Biden should tell Trump to go pound sand. Biden doesn't need these debates, he's ahead in the polls. As the underdog, Trump does need them, though, so he should be denied. He had his chance and he showed the world what he thinks of debates. He has no respect for the process. That shouldn't earn him another chance to disrupt another one.

Think about this. One candidate is such a child the debate committee has to try to figure out ways to contain his adolescent behavior. Why are they bothering? Trump doesn't deserve it.

Trump's strategy was to sabotage the debates. It is a personal insult that he has to participate. He was totally unprepared so he had to disrupt anything that Biden had to say. Wallace was his guy -- his best chance to show his presidential abilities and he blew it. The next moderators will be less accommodating. Biden knew why he was there and spoke to the voters when he could get past the interruptions. He is not a guy to show restraint but he handled it as well as anyone could and easily won the "debate". The old saying: "Don't wrestle with a pig -- the pig enjoys it and you just get yourself dirty" seemed to work for him. Trump is a pig and showed it off quite well at the debate.

sorry, "everyone knows" doesn't cut it when everyone is getting their information from biased sources.
we need an independent, scientific, peer reviewed study to confirm this.

everyone knows this. you just won't publicly admit it.

And Trump lied to the American people about it. China didn't make Trump lie.

I WANT Biden to debate more. The more the nation sees him, the better Trumps chances are.

Even with a CLEARLY BIASED MODERATOR (Biden's former intern for Christ's sake), Biden is so bad that even a completely partisan moderator cannot save him. Wallace did everything he could for Biden and couldn't save him.

Please Biden- debate again!
