1. It sounds like a knock out drag out encounter

Like the old Batman series there should be sound effects like “Blam!”, “Crash!”, “Zing!”, “Pow!”, “Splat!”

Trump is a comic book villain so why not?

2. The Russian whores I've loved didn't make the list?

How about Why Jeff Epstein was a good guy?

Maybe, Why is Putin misunderstood?

9. Your headline made me laugh out loud. Thanks!

3. Big mistake for Fox entertainment being involved in the debates.

Bigger mistake for allowing them to go 1st. I'm sure the rest of the moderators will be again overcompensating to be "fair and balanced" so maybe it doesn't matter much.

4. Okay really, no healthcare and preexisting conditions question?

5. Joe can work those sentiments into the Covid section.

Trump will fail on that area bigly. Joe will crush him.

7. Health Care

is the NUMBER ONE issue on the table for Americans. These are wheel house Trump talking points, but I think Biden will do fine. Also, nothing on higher education bothers me.

6. The dream laundry list of trump talking points.

Oh, goody.

8. "Race and Violence in our Cities" is a dog whistle nt

10. It does let Joe put paid to 45's lies about him defending violence though.

Handled well it can be respectful of the desire to address the issues, bring people to the table, and seek solutions as a whole. Stoking division on 45’s part will look just like that.
