Debate Organizers Say They Will Make Format Changes Before Next Debate

If you were on that stage with Trump attempting to speak are you telling me you wouldn't have told Trump to shut up?

Biden showed quite a bit of restraint.

I wouldn't have. I would have let Mr. Wallace do it for me. That's the moderator's job.

And each time it happened, the new topic for the debates would be the President's inability to follow the rules that he had agreed to, and whether someone who can't even conduct himself in an orderly way for a debate could be trusted to bring law and order to an entire nation.
 
Its not really something thats debatable. Xrays indicate if they exist or not. Its not ambiguous. Its kinda like a broken bone. You cant pretend.

Not in the 1960s, when they were diagnosed. And a doctor could fake them for favors or money. It wouldn't be hard. You act as if they made the process unbelievably hard to get out of going to war. They didn't, especially not for those well off.

Team Trump had the TRIFECTA for the first two years and it was not an invisible one like 2008 where two or three Democrats either died, switched parties or were too ill to show up, with the net result being a grand total of 72 days, chopped up into mostly two week bursts.
Nope, this was a REAL trifecta, solid majorities in both chambers, majority SCOTUS and Trump in the White House.
And not enough Dems to overrule ANYTHING or stop ANYTHING.

It was as close to true single party control of the entire country as we've ever had or damn near.

So, what you're seeing now is a valid reaction.
LOL hyperbolic nonsense. Trump was impeached, and on the flimsiest of charges too- how does that translate to a single party rule?
 
So what did you learn from Biden? That he will not tell you where he stands on court packing or law and order. He will not tell you how much is a "fair share" for the wealthy to pay. He will not discuss all the taxes the democrats plan to increase other than federal income tax. He will not condemn any violence that errupts as a result of ANTIFA and BLM protests turn violent. He couldn't tell you what if any police groups in America support his campaign. He denies defunding police but he advocates for redistributing funds intended for police. Please explain what that means?
I hope that if Joe wins you will be willing to support higher taxes and less freedoms that Americans have enjoyed.
If Trump wanted him to seriously answer anything, he would have STFU during the debate and allowed for appropriate question and answer periods. As it was, Trump was all over the place with his interruptions and accusations.
 
Whether either are, reality is, barring something that takes out one or both from eligibility within the next 4 months, one of them will be our next President. I'd rather have the one who is not quite as big of a douche, acts like an adult 90% of the time vice less than 50%, is willing to admit to mistakes and seek help from others because he doesn't boast at being the smartest, the best, very knowledgeable about all sorts of things he doesnt actually know squat about which are fairly important matters, and matches my lean on many issues.

That's the difference. I would rather have douche that runs the country well than the better person who would destroy the country.
 
I wasn't happy with the rudeness from any of them. I certainly understand all the criticism bring fired at all 3 of them in the aftermath. However imo its completely wrong to mute any of them.

President Trump set the tone. His antagonistic repetitive interrupting was an ongoing causal event.

Face it, if Biden did not react to his frequent inappropriate behavior, you would have called him out for that as well.

You do realize that Biden was the first to interrupt.

Do you have any evidence that a doctor falsified Trumps medical records?
Its a bold assumption to make without any.

Since I know Biden would run it better than Trump, that's who I'm going with. Bonus is, he's not a douche and fairly well respected.

I provided evidence that there is information from a particular doctors family that did live in/do business out of a property owned by Trumps father who claims their father said he did that. They is far more evidence than Trump has provided to the contrary.

why is it wrong to mute the candidate who is not then entitled to the floor?

but please explain why you would support the douche who is doing whatever he can to do damage to our nation and its democracy?

exactly. they would have said he didn't have what it takes to stand up to the bad guys

no matter that their guy is putin's *****. and rocket man's, and every other dictator's in the world

The douche is NOT doing whatever he can to do damage to our nation and its democracy. It is actually Democrats who are doing whatever they can to do damage to our nation and its democracy. Trump is just a douche.

then you are ok with how he has responded to the tRump-virus epidemic?
and the russians bounty on our soldiers?
and the elimination of Obamacare for 20 million citizens?
and the tax cut that went disproportionately to the rich while increasing the nation's deficit by $2 Trillion when the economy was well?
that he has diminished our nation's standing in the international political arena?
that he dog whistles support to the racists?
that we are still waiting on his healthcare plan to replace Obamacare?
that he insults our veterans?
that he quietly revoked the trust he had established upon his election to give the appearance his assets were independent of his presidential decisions ?
that most of America's citizens are worse off now than they were four years ago?
that you would support and defend such a person leads me to speculate that you actually thought brownie did a good job in new orleans

Don't kid yourself, few would be talking about that, they'd be talking about how Biden let Trump talk all over him and didn't even try to fight back.

This isn't a battleground where decorum and following the rules is considered as important as it once was.

I don't mean that it would be the topic that people would be talking about in regards to the debates, I mean that Biden should have raised the point each time. When Trump spouted wild conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden when it wasn't his turn to talk, Biden should have respond by pointing out that a man without the self-discipline to adhere to the rules himself cannot be trusted to ensure that rules and order are followed in society.

Since "law and order" is a primary focus of the President's campaign, every opportunity to point out what an agent of chaos he is would land with the very voters that Trump is attempting to court.
