Trump predictably defends his push to get through his nominee before the election (or shortly thereafter).
Biden has a good response focusing on the potential consequences - loss of ACA & loss of "choice" for women.
Of course Trump has to jump in, like a child.
Hey #ChrisWallace - stop Trump from interrupting! We are only 5 minutes in and Trump is already out of control. Trump is disgusting!
To the Commission for the Presidential Debates - please remove the nutcase on left side of the stage, Donald Trump. He is an angry, out of control maniac.
Trump is demonstrating with every interruption what a vile human being he is. I am yelling SHUT UP from my computer!!!
If I was in the audience I think I would have to stand up and tell Trump to SHUT UP. His behavior is absolutely atrocious. Watching this is torturous.
There should be a rule that if a candidate interrupts a certain number of times, they are kicked off the stage. Trump has interrupted Biden probably 20 times in 10 minutes.
BIDEN: 'Will you shut up, man!"
Amen.
Watching this debate is torturous for 2 reasons:
1) Trump's non stop interruptions 2) Wallace's inability to control Trump
On to COVID19. Biden's response so far has been really good - focusing on Trump's errors & Trump's LIE about not wanting to "panic" the American people. He threw in a jab about Trump being in the bunker - both in the White House & in one of his golf courses!!
Dear @TeamTrump - speak into your guy's earpiece and tell him to keep up with the interruptions & abusive behavior because with each interruption he turns off an independent voter!
Biden is an infinitely more composed, knowledgeable and presidential than Trump. It's truly hard to believe this nutcase is the "president" of the USA. He is a national disgrace.
Now Trump is LYING about his vaccine sham & he is disputing the expertise of the head of the CDC. Of course Dr. Trump knows more than anyone about vaccines.
Kudos to Biden for getting in a jab about the fact Trump said the virus would disappear by the summer & for suggesting people inject bleach!
This debate is like BIDEN is the current president and TRUMP is the loser trying to take his place.
Trump's insults that Biden isn't "smart" are really pathetic considering how ignorant Trump is. Biden should use that as a way to tap into the large % of white people without college degrees who support Trump - Trump thinks those people are a joke!
Trump is really dumb & that's a fact. He has no idea about anything. He tries to bluff everyone with his arrogant, abusive behavior.
Excellent point by Biden how Trump does not care about the health & wellbeing of those who attend his rallies - Trump only cares about protecting himself. 100% correct.
I really want this debate to end. Listening to an out-of-control narcissistic psychopath (TRUMP) for any length of time is of TORTURE. #Debate2020
BIDEN: "You can't fix the economy until you fix the COVID crisis!"
Correct.
So far I give #ChrisWallace a FAIL for not being able to contain Trump & for not enforcing the rules stringently enough.
Now Trump is LYING about taxes.
Biden: "Show us your tax returns!"
And Trump refuses to answer the question about the 2016 and 2017 taxes, lying saying he paid "millions of dollars" in federal incomes taxes. He paid $750.
BIDEN to TRUMP: "You are the worst president America has ever had!"
Wallace: more jobs created in the last 3 years of Obama's presidency than in the first 3 years of Trump's presidency. Of course Trump couldn't take that!!!
There was all this talk about what medications the 2 candidates would be on during this debate but what about those having to watch it?! This is so painful, we should be given medication to get through it!! Trump is so TOXIC.
Trump is now atrociously bringing up Hunter Biden, completely out of context. Biden shouldn't even respond to this topic.
Chris Wallace - TAKE CONTROL!!!
BIDEN: "It's hard to get in any word with this clown!"
FACT.
Donald Trump is a vile human being.
Anyone who is watching this debate and still plans to vote for Donald Trump should be ashamed of themselves & scorned by society.
BIDEN: Gets in another jab about Trump being in his bunker & makes reference to the gassing of protesters while Trump was acting as a FRAUD in front of a church.
Kudos to Biden for keeping his cool so far tonight. I think 9/10 people would completely lose it and start screaming at Trump for his abusive behavior.
Trump refuses to condemn white supremacists. How surprising.
BIDEN on TRUMP regarding current violence in the USA:
"He is the president of the USA. It's on his watch!"
Trump's reaction to what Biden said about his son, Beau, and his military service was APPALLING. Trump has no business being in the White House.
Biden shouldn't even bother showing up to the next debate. There is no point. Even being present on the same stage as this moron is more than anyone should be subjected to.
It must be a stimulant night for Trump - his abusive, angry behavior is very consistent with use of such medication. And that's on top of his horrific personality.
BIDEN to the AMERICAN PEOPLE: "Show up and vote. You will determine the outcome of this election! He (Trump) can not stop you from determining the outcome of this election."
TRUMP'S message to the American people: don't vote.
TRUMP is basically counting on SCOTUS to keep him in power. That's blatantly obvious.
I'd be interested to see the amount of talking time for each of Trump and Biden tonight. It has definitely felt like the psychopath has been getting more time - facilitated by his CONSTANT interruptions.
Me to Donald Trump: SHUT UP!!!!!!!
Final question about respecting the outcome of the election & waiting until the result has been independently certified:
- Trump refuses to the answer the question directly, ranting about "fraud"
- Biden says yes, he will respect the result, responding like a president

CORONAVIRUS: Trump provides no details as to how he would "lead" the nation through the next phase of the pandemic. He lied about "being congratulated" by other nations for his efforts. 2 minutes of absolute nonsense. "It will go away, it's going away!" Moronic.
CORONAVIRUS: As Biden correctly notes, Trump still has no plan!! And he correctly slams Trump for the fact 220,000 Americans have died. Biden provided a good short summary of the pandemic disasters of the past 8 months. "I will make sure we have a plan!"
In Thursday night’s debate Biden should ask Trump about the 545 innocent immigrant children previously separated from their parents at the US-Mexican border who to this day have not been reunited with them. This is a national disgrace.
"Some say the Trump administration should answer to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, after NBC reports hundreds of parents were deported without their children."
Those who crafted & implemented this policy should face criminal charges. Where’s the outrage from the fake “family values” party? Non-existent. Their “pro-family” & “pro-life” charade is limited to white kids born to "conservative" parents.
"Trump tapped his political organization to cover exorbitant legal fees related to his impeachment. Aides made flashy displays of their newfound wealth — including a fleet of luxury vehicles purchased by Brad Parscale, his former campaign manager." nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
Rich Republicans don't want to give their money directly to the Trump Campaign because they know it will be squandered. Yet they are willing to allow him to handle the nation's economy? The entire situation is insane. Trump is a conman & a fraudster!
Trump's campaign has wasted $1.6 million on political ads in the DC market not to score votes, but to satisfy Trump's toxic ego because he watches a lot of TV while in DC! Absurd. They are literally paying for ads in DC just because Trump would complain if he didn't see them.
Donald Trump is psychologically & morally unfit to be president of the USA. Four more years with Trump in the White House would be catastrophic for America. Outlined in this thread are 25 statements that demonstrate this reality.
1. NARCISSISTIC: Trump’s narcissism is extreme & pathological. He consistently lies about his abilities & achievements. His need for flattery is endless & those who don’t provide it are scorned & attacked. He blames others for his own failures & never takes responsibility.
2. PSYCHOPATHIC: Trump’s total lack of conscience is disturbing. He displays no remorse for any harm caused to others by his words or actions. He engages in manipulative behavior to ensure his own needs are satisfied & demonstrates no capacity for empathy or compassion.
I spoke too soon. He's warming up with some retweets!
Trump is in vindictive mode right now, retweeting trashy tweets about Biden from 2-3 days ago. It's like he had a bad night at the Town Hall, came home & out of spite logged into Twitter to retweet garbage about Biden. We see Trump's psychopathology play out daily on Twitter!
Joe Biden speaks & sounds like he is the president of the USA. Donald Trump speaks & sounds like an incompetent, vicious & nasty challenger to the current president!
On one channel we have a knowledgeable, rational, well-informed & honest man (BIDEN) responsibly & thoroughly responding to the questions of voters. On another channel there is a nutcase (TRUMP) spreading lies & propaganda! The choice is so easy.
