I would agree. For something that's as big a deal as a presidential election, you'd think they'd give them more time. 90 minutes is quite short, and giving 15 seconds for a rebuttal is idiotic.Quote:

100 million people who died under leftist governments during the 20th century would disagree with you. Of course, I don't think the US is there just yet. But if you don't think a Biden (or inevitably a Harris) administration will be different than a Trump administration, you have seriously not been paying attention. The differences between right and left, even in this country, are striking and tangible.Quote:

You don't deserve, and you're not going to get, that level of detail into any president's medical condition. It's not relevant to your, or my, everyday functioning.Quote:

Why is it any time Trump complains about something it's a "tantrum" or he's "on the attack" or whatever the platitude of the day is to describe him? When the left does the same thing they're "raising serious questions" or "showing real concern" about the issue. Oh, wait. I know. Because there's a massive double standard in play with regards to Trump and whomever we're talking about on the left.
The next step is to attack anyone who defends Trump as one of his brainwashed minions, uneducated redneck, Trump fan-boy, mindless followers, etc.
Lets just have all the next debates be VP debates anyway. There's a significant chance a lot of people will either be voting for Pence or Kamala as POTUS anyway. I do like Pence... if they dropped the "huuuge" walking mouth off the ticket, I'd be a hell of a Pence supporter.
Yes, Trump's a blowhard. And he says shit and tweets shit he shouldn't. If that was illegal most of us would be in big trouble. And he's done some stupid shit like the bump-stock ban. But big picture he's been a good president and I can't see how any rational person could even consider Biden over Trump. Especially if you're gonna rant about character.
Having said that, Trump's done more good things for this country in his 3.5-ish years than any president I can recall.
He's tested negative multiple times now apparently. The Trump campaign is demanding they still do both the 2nd and 3rd debates in person, just a bit later. And that's a FAIR request. A virtual debate is not a fair request.Quote:

They didn't include his A1C and cholesterol levels in that release. Obviously they're not being transparent because they're hiding something.
Biden’s already been shown to have cheated so suspicions about what he’d do in a virtual debate are [I]not “overblown”. The demand for virtual debating is trying to take advantage of the prior diagnosis to shield Biden from proving his incompetence and inability to talk extemporaneously yet again. His stock response when he gets off-script is “c’mon, man”.
Note: my mother just said my ballot arrived at her house today. I haven’t voted as a resident of Hawaii since 1992. I think the Dems are pulling every string, every dirty trick they can to avoid a repeat of 1984.
Yep...Biden's been caught plagiarizing over and over for decades. It's in his character to lie and cheat. Then again, he's a democrat.
The playing field was already stacked against Trump at the scheduled 2nd debate with Steve Scully as the moderator. Of course, Scully is "unbiased, despite having worked on Ted Kennedy's staff and interned for Biden. Then Scully gets caught sending a Tweet, rather than a DM, to Anthony Scaramucci, a rabid anti-Trumper, asking Scaramucci, "Should I respond to Trump?"
But the worries of democrats cheating during a debate, virtual or otherwise, are "overblown". Yeah...right. Don't piss on my leg then try to convince me it's just raining.
Yeah, the debate commission is showing its true colors. The concern of bias and cheating is NOT overblown.
Here's a tweet by the moderator who was going to be running the virtual debate.."Not Trump, not ever".
