    So you watched the debate and are somehow trying to equate the interruptions by trump with Biden’s based on a short clip? I would love to have legitimate discussions with trump people on this board, but there’s rarely any legitimate talking points by you guys. Just try better, please.

    Who is the moderate "Republican" equivalent to Chris Wallace?

    Political pundits and ideologues like Ben Shapiro and Rush Limbaugh have no business moderating a presidential debate. Stupid suggestions from Senator Cruz.

    Yea, like it was not chaotic enough to have one ideallogue on stage. We should have two. Make a guess why "moderator" is called that - it is to be moderate and prevent the dialogue taking turn toward extreme topics that are not important for majority of listeners. And it is also why, a moderator would ask about support for white supremacy and peaceful transfer of power - because most people want to kmow the answer to that.

    What important topic would you like covered that wasn't? Something highlighting Trump successes? Economy "booming" vs slow recovery of Obama admin was covered. "China plague" was blamed. Biden 's crime bill brought up.

    My gosh you snowflakes are worried about trump losing the second debate (as he did the first) based on this?

    Oh good lord. And this somehow justifies a tweet from Cruz that instead we need to have Rush Limbaugh moderating the debates. What a load of crap.

    Donald Trump demonstrated a total unwillingness to follow the rules of the first debate. Cut him out. Let his VP or chief of staff, who is presumably more of an adult and can more competently articulate his agenda, debate in his place. Make it virtual. Empower the moderator to actually do his/her job. Let Trump live tweet about it if he wishes.

    Peggy Noonan on Meet the Press this morning that Biden should still debate Trump, if they can have them. One she felt that Biden shouldn't be the one to break norms and two she felt that it play into the narrative that Biden is weak if he doesn't debate. She also pointed out that it's one of the few occasions for him to speak directly to the American people while on par with the President.

    This is what I got from another site.

    "I have been reviewing some videos that seem to show how Biden was cheating on the debates. It seems that there was a mic in his sleeve and contacted lenses that allowed him to access a prompter somewhere in his proximity. The lenses are obvious. They are dark almost black and Biden’s true eye color is blue gray."

    Was surprised to see most thought Trump had a terrible debate.

    Here is an actual video.

    James Woods knows enough about lights, angles, color grading, etc to know that pic doesn't prove Biden was wearing black contact lenses.

    Are these the same people saying Altuve had a buzzer hidden under his jersey that told him where Aroldis Chapman was going to pitch?

    None of that is proven in the slightest. The lenses and invisible teleprompter are laughable.

    They tried to set the stage early with that narrative talking about Biden having an ear piece and the performance enhancing smart drugs. That didn't work so now they are pulling this BS.

    There is some pretty strong evidence he was getting messages transmitted to him. See tweet in post #910.
