    This is must watch tv, in my opinion. With Trump's tax returns just getting leaked, I expect Biden will have all the ammo he needs. If he can forcefully debate Trump, it's going to be some of the most entertaining television programming we have seen in a long time.


    Will be interesting to see how these two do.

    Even before this weekend Biden already had a lot of ammunition coming in. That said though the risk with debating Trump is it isn't going to be about facts. We know Trump is going to lie anyway. Trump supporters know he's going to lie and exaggerate.

    If Biden spends his whole time attacking Trump and going insult for insult with him I don't think that helps him. This one where character and demeanor will matter. I think Biden really needs to speak to what sort of President he will be and based on more than just the contrast with Trump.

    Joe just needs to avoid showing that he is triggered by the lame Trump insults.

    I am worried that Trump will lie on EVERYTHING and the moderator won't call out his BS, the man lies so much that telling the truth would shock me

    Biden should ask him what it’s like to be the poorest president in US History

    "Under the Biden tax plan, we are only raising taxes on those making over $400,000/year. Mr. President, your taxes will not go up under my plan"

    @Commodore, you have been wrong so often on the debate. I'm still amaze at how you come up with these strong beliefs.

    - Predict Biden would withdraw from primary debates.
    - Zero change Biden agrees to any debate.
    - Was sure Biden will "test positive" for Covid and skip the debate.

    don’t let Trump get away with a single lie

    lay out what u will do for the American people, and the extent of the damage Trump has done...expose how he promises a bunch of sh*t, but gets nothing done

    expose how lying about and disregarding science has caused us to bungle Coronavirus so badly and crater the economy...show how countries with a plan and belief in science have done battling the virus

    Will Trump come with far better bullsh*t than Biden is “radical left” or outright lies like Biden wants to defund the police?

    Chris Wallace is going to SKEWER both Biden and Trump.

    I am surprised that either of them agreed to have him moderate.

    Literally all Wallace does every day is think of ways to expose politicians as the vapid liars and empty suits that they are.

    I expect this to be an embarrassing cluster**** for the entire country.

    I wish these debates wouldn't happen. Each candidate should just take turns having a live, 3-hour sit-down discussion with an interviewer. That way they have time to actually expand on any ideas they might have, and it would be infinitely harder for one to throw out some empty catchphrase because the interviewer could ask follow-up questions.

    so poor that he has been making excuses, ad nauseum, not to show his tax returns, as they will show how poor his is, and who are his creditors, as well as when his BIG loans are due

    The incumbent gets 4 years. That should do it for them.

    Trump could take a crap on stage and it wouldn't matter, Biden could stutter his ass off and it wouldn't matter...the voters have already made their minds up. These debates are just formalities...

    Chris Wallace as a moderator is a great choice.
