If Trump wants to claim he has any chance of winning, he better win the ratings war. If more people tuned into Biden than watched Trump, it means no ones paying attention to him in the middle.

Mark my words. When Biden gets sworn in January 21st, shortly thereafter China and Russia will try something to test him. And he’s going to be surrounded by bafoons who don’t know how to wield power, and our standing will be weakened. If Biden can’t remember Putin’s name when he’s responding to their annexation of more land in Eastern Europe, we’re fucked. What videos does Putin have of Hunter Biden running a train an a couple of 10s that he’ll release in the middle of our internal feuding?

This isn’t a fucking game to claim moral superiority. There are real stakes here. As terrified I was at the prospect of Trump facing Putin and Xi, I don’t see how Biden faces them without looking like a fool. I hope I’m wrong.

Are you seriously implying that trump didn’t come off like a buffoon?

This happened. I’m not saying there was anything wrong with his tweet. But after the head of the DNC leaked debate questions to Clinton....  The handling of Biden and Trump in these “debates” is a fucking joke. Like I said. Real reform is needed. Hopefully the media does a hard look in the mirror.

Am I imagining things: Didn’t they used to have panels of moderators? Not that it would fix things, but you could have your left and right leaning moderators both asking questions.

I didn’t watch Trump and only part of Biden. Letting Biden talk, I mean it’s supposed to be between the crowd and the candidate. I didn’t get the feeling he was rambling. I also have coffee with an elderly neighbor every Saturday, so I’m conditioned to hear “yarns.” I found it refreshing to hear someone talk in depth about topics.

I think the republicans should try to see if some how they can bypass the electoral college kinda like how they ignored the popular vote. ‘Oh shit we lost by 3 million votes?...fuck ‘em’!

Somehow I’m sure McConnell could conjure up some new precedent in the senate.

This whole twitter and Facebook fiasco plus the time of the town halls just goes to show the bias of the media and why Trump says shit is rigged. It is disgusting actually.

I think you're right.  I too recall a panel of moderators.  Gunthrie waited almost 20 minutes to let an audience member ask a question.  It's just a farce watching ABC and NBC host Trump, then watch them jerk off Biden.  If Biden can't handle tough questions, he doesn't need to be the president.  If they're intentionally setting him up to win, then they need to lose their FCC license or be held accountable for unfairly offering favorable time to one candidate over the other.  I'm the last person who wants government involvement in the media, but the law is the law.

If Biden packs the court, he and the Democrats will have done more damage to our standing than any of the shit people try to lampoon Trump for.  We're not Venezuela.

We'll see what people say when every major network is feigning over Biden come January and whether people realize our media is no different than Russia Today.

That's the kind of statement we all need from a leader. Truly empathetic...so eloquent...and so articulate...

That's an untrue statement from NY Mag with no source.  Again, the media just prints any claim without verification, and the uninformed parrot it as gospel.

Here are some very true statements from Mitch though:

I still stand by that. Do you watch Trump lie and say that there wasn’t a plan and a department set up to deal with this in the most efficient way possible. He dissolved  it because he hates Obama. End of story.

Hey man...I know it's your thing not to hold people accountable unless you disagree with them.

How pathetic is your life that you have the time to spend doing this?

YOU elected science deniers...YOU elected people who only give a shit about stock markets and the economy. YOU did that. YOU give rich white men the benefit of the doubt. If YOU elect someone who is inept...i hold YOU accountable.

This country deserves a poor response because they elected a government with Trump in charge. These remarks ring true today and shit is getting out of control again. Co-Vid is raging out of control again and Trump wants to talk about how mean people are to him.

When you vote for Trump...I will hold YOU accountable. YOU deserve this because YOU think the economy is more important that our country following the rules. This could largely be behind us by now. Instead we're watching militias plot to kidnapp governors.

I'm holding YOU accountable because you normalize this stuff everyday with pseudo-intellectual vomit.
