Trump comes across as a thin skinned, defensive undisciplined blowhard to rational people. Of course that's what Trump supporters like because that is what most Trump supporters are.
Only Biden supporters will blame Trump for Biden’s weak behavior

The only way I'd watch is if the current popular Facebook meme comes true: Samuel L. Jackson as moderator.

Trust me, I completely agree what you are saying and I'm DEFINITELY not for Biden. But, in a debate, I would like to hear the response from each candidate what they have to say so that I can justify their positions with their actions. This over talking of one another does absolutely nothing to the content of what is being debated is all I'm saying and just muddies the point each is trying to make.

Trump set himself spectacularly ablaze last night, and we all got to watch him burn.

It was an embarrassment to see, but the whole world needed to witness it.

It made up my mind on who I want to represent America for the next four years.

Move over MAGA, now Dems have a new slogan for their hats: "Shut up, man!"

(where can I get mine??)

I hear you, I remember past debates where the GOP was calm and professional and the moderator always allowed the democratic candidate have free rein and like during the debate between Romney and Obama even included their 2cents in, in favor of Obama.

I wish he had Reagan’s way by using his sense of humor to deflect, but that isn’t Trump. My husband actually met Trump and his son and said he was a really nice guy. Biden can be nasty and he doesn’t just keep it for other candidates, but says personal insults to regular citizens.

Town Hall format..so not sure it will have the same combative vibe.

Biden is committed to it.

Who knows about Trump.

Heard Fox & Friends were giving Trump debate tips this morning -- so they mustn't think he did that well.

The main value of last night was to put to rest Trump's number one go-to reelection campaign strategy--that Biden is not competent. Once that was established as a lie, the value of any further debates was diminished, IMO. A waste of time for both sides.
And it put to rest Biden's campaign strategy, that he is presidential. That was established as a lie. He was a bigger jerk than Trump last night.

That's probably the best response for these people with hopeless TDS on here,

"There you go again."

Trump should use on Biden the Christie tactic on Rubio. Biden is also programmed and not very smart.

His plan was to make Joe lose his cool and for the people to see he's not the polished, congenial, gentleman President he presents himself as and Trump definitely brought that out.

Probably 97% of the people already know which way they are going to vote - I see no need for a 2nd debate and it shouldn't be with Joe anyway - it should be with Kamala as we know that's the Dems goal anyway - have the 1st black woman President. Next go round they'll put up a transgender - hopefully they'll find someone who would actually reflect the ideals of the American people.
