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:
