    You’re a sack of ****. I had a close friend die because he didn’t have access to rapid testing and the best medical professionals available. 43 years old with 4 children.

    I still see a lot of people saying he faked having Covid, but I don’t see the benefit of doing that other than it taking the focus off his taxes and White Supremacy endorsement for a little while. The people haven’t forgotten about all that tho.

    I also don’t see the benefit of further downplaying the virus because he made a “speedy recovery.” That is a losing battle with the elderly and independents. Dems for sure aren’t with that. We all know we aren’t receiving the same level of care as the President if we contract Covid. Average citizens don’t have the luxury of getting tested so frequently. Many don’t even get tested at all, and are only brought to the hospital when their symptoms are severe, and it is there that they get a Covid test and a confirmation of having the disease.

    Cult members will fall for this narrative that Covid is nothing since Trump beat it so quickly, but that is because they have the IQ of a preschool dropout. Go ahead and continue to not take it seriously. We’ll continue seeing articles of these idiots dying at the hospital after realizing it actually wasn’t a hoax or something that should be dismissed. During their eulogy, u can say that at least they died because of doing what they love to do best, which is be an idiot and engage in fckery.

    I hope they put his medication on a steep ramp with a pitcher of water that needs not two 70 year old hands to handle... but three.

    After seeing him struggle to breathe on the White House steps, I don't think he faked it. I had gone back and forth.

    Biden shouldn’t have stopped his negative ads, but Democrats taking their foot off the gas and trying to appease and capitulate is to be expected.

    the people should be getting constant reminders of his failures...instead we’re worried about fake pearl clutching and playing the fake morality card from the deplorables...

    Absolutely agree. You've got a proverbial buffet of political fodder in the last week and a half here. And now you've got a larger budget than he does. Let 'er rip. Gorge yourself.

    Disagree.

    I thought Biden handled himself well during the debates but the America who isn't online 24/7 thought Biden could've been more decent and "presidential". These are the same people who would likely buy into Trump's chump messaging if Biden allowed himself to be interrupted, while looking weak and flustered.

    It's the "reasonable" "common sense" crowd who invest five mins to politics a day, believes "both sides act similar" and think they can eyeball the situation that makes the ceasefire still the solid option.

    It's like hitting the reset button for every big event because that crowd gives no **** to the regular season or qualifying rounds but still think they can talk the loudest during the Finals.

    Because it's a vote and not a sport, they can.

    lol, he looked healthy in one of the videos he put out today, glad he's doing better, scared for how his quick recovery will fuel the population of people disregarding masks and science.

    "Don't be afraid of it, you're gonna beat it, we have the best medical equipment, we have the best medicines"

    Yeah, my uninsured, non-president of the united states, non-billionaire ass sure doesn't have access to any of that.

    Who are all these people that thought Biden could’ve been more decent and presidential during the debate? What is that based on? Trump is the one who was seen as incredibly unpresidential and unhinged. Biden’s lead has grown since the debate.

    I still don’t see why stopping all negative ads was the best option...Democrats and Republicans are always playing by a different set or rules, and the Democrats just let it happen

    the negative ads from Trump’s camp are still running against Biden, and they would be if Biden was the one who had to go the hospital

    210k dead...he doesn’t care

    he downplayed the virus to the public, and didn’t take it seriously at the WH, now the WH has been hit by a Covid wave

    Trump is trying to get rid of the ACA and cause many to lose insurance during a pandemic

    Trump receives the best care at Walter Reed while average citizens are left wondering if they can even afford to go to the hospital for treatment

    he just put his SS agents at risk to drive around the block, and is again downplaying the virus

    I could go on and on

    these are things Biden should be hitting hard...it’s not like he’s laughing at Trump getting infected in his ads

    again, this dipshittery. I’m not actively hoping he dies, but I’m sure as heck not wishing him the best and will lose zero sleep if he does croak.

    There are still Americans who believe in decency and bristle at publicly calling the president a clown or telling someone of his stature to shut up.

    You might think the votes are decided but Joe's campaign has been moving center with him bringing in Cindy McCain as a symbolic adviser.

    So at the very least, suspending the neg ads out of decency for the Commander in Chief, highlights that there is a difference between the two and that maybe, just maybe Donny Boy really is an existential threat to America rather than just a party claim

    people thinking Biden should’ve been more decent or presidential during the debates wasn’t a significant thing...not when Trump was losing his mind just a few feet away

    maybe a few people held their breath when Biden told Trump to shut up, but Biden came out of the debate looking much better than Trump...this shouldn’t even be in question

    Undecided voters from battleground states around the country used decidedly different words to describe the night featuring the Republican and Democratic nominees on the same stage for the first time.

    • 'Crackhead,' ‘arrogant,’ ‘un-American,’ ‘forceful,’ ‘puzzling,’ ‘eh,' and ‘unhinged’ were some of the words used to describe Trump's performance by a group of undecided voters in GOP pollster Frank Luntz's post-debate focus group Zoom session.
    • ‘Professional,’ ‘showed restraint and compassion,’ ‘predictable,’ ‘politician,’ and ‘presidential’ were the descriptors used to describe Biden by the same participants in Luntz's group, which comprised of over a dozen undecided voters from Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, and North Carolina.
    Some in the group remained undecided and eager to see more from the candidates while others were so repelled by Trump's performance, they immediately made up their minds. There was clear agreement that Trump's chaotic behavior, incessant interruptions and personal attacks did not help his reelection argument.

    that difference was highlighted during the debate...it’s been highlighted for months

    now is not the time to be letting your foot off the gas because Trump infected himself with Covid due to his own negligence

    Most Americans continue to be deeply worried about the virus, and the poll found that 65%, including 9 in 10 registered Democrats and 5 in 10 registered Republicans, agreed that "if President Trump had taken coronavirus more seriously, he probably would not have been infected."

    Trump doesn't drink alcohol, this might has saved his life when he took Remdesivir, he's released but technically not discharged yet,5 more days to go

    President Trump departed Walter Reed Medical Center on Monday evening to return to the White House via Marine One after spending three nights at the hospital for coronavirus treatment.

    Upon reaching the White House, Trump took off his mask and saluted Marine One as photographers encircled him. He then walked into the White House, still maskless and infected with COVID-19.

    he simply does not care...this is deliberate...he does this on purpose

    this should have Americans furious...Biden never should’ve stopped all negative ads, and he should definitely be running them again now going harder than ever...Trump simply does not care about others

    Nah it's the unanimous agreement that the debate was the worst ever, a farce and fiasco to the American Tradition. Joe being a part of it by association makes him partly responsible, despite whether you or I think that is fair.

    I'm not sure what we're arguing here. I think he won, maybe if I dug up some links to reinforce what I saw on newshour but it's late and I don't think I need to prove how sentiment in Middle America usually lags behind the internet...

    Joe's still running positive ads so it's not really letting his foot off the pedal.

    Yes I think it's dirty Trump still running negative ads while his surrogates are complaining Joe should step back his campaign, but that's up for Joe and his handlers to decide how to respond and how he can maximize each states turnout.

    And keep in mind, depressing turnout has been a big cornerstone to the Republican strategy. Biggest way is to make people turn off and tune out by disgust. Negativity usually has that slow poison along with the intended measure of damaging the other candidate.

    Don't worry. After tonight's maskless Mussolini moment, the negative ads will be back. Such an inhuman p.o.s.

    The way he was wheezing and panting? Yeah, he's been virtually immobile for 3 days, and is obese, and had just climbed the steps. But he didn't look good. Faking Covid? Not impossible but that's more moving parts than this administration can handle.

    Trump would have hated looking weak.

    Anyway, it's not as if he won't have a phalanx of doctors to administer hydroxychloroquine enemas in the White House.

    Dude, it was the worst ever primarily because of Trump. Biden came out looking much better than Trump. How is that even in dispute?

    dig them up, because what you’re telling me just isn’t convincing

    provide the basis for this sentiment that Biden should’ve been more decent or presidential during the debate that is supposedly being said by so many people

    I don’t buy this narrative that Biden continuing his ads would’ve been such a huge turn off...the main ones who would be faking outrage are the Trumpers, the ones who won’t be voting for Biden in the 1st place

    Democrats and the majority of independents recognize how foolish and irresponsible Trump has been...people are most concerned about Coronavirus, and it’s been made apparent that the majority of Americans disapprove of how Trump has handled it...Trump can’t even protect the White House from being overrun by the virus...Biden should’ve been on the attack, not trying to appease Trumpers and the fake pearl clutchers

    the main way Republicans depress turnout is by doing what they just did in Texas, closing down polling stations in urban or minority areas, and via legislation like that felon law in Florida...they depress voter turnout by making it as hard as possible to vote, not by making people tune out or get turned off...Speaking of which, did Biden attack Trump at all regarding his attack on voting and the sanctity of the election the past few days? Did he continue to ram home the point that the Republicans don’t want u to vote? Or was he not able to because he decided to cease fire?

    1 side is is still firing their weapons on u, but u go ahead and disarm because their general fell ill for a few days...typical strategy from the weak Democrats

    Hopefully Covid19 can still pull through and get the job done.
