Who will be watching? First one kicks off in 24 hours time.
The Democrats have pulled Joe back from his campaign trail recently to get him prepared, so hopefully it will be a decent exchange.
Unfortunately they don’t seem to have great confidence as they have spent the last month looking for any dirt they can dig up so Joe can use if he gets stuck.
It’s no coincidence that this vote influencing Facebook algorithm story is being shamelessly and inaccurately made into a race issue on the eve of the debates. So transparent and disingenuous, it’s a shame politics has come to this on this level where black people are being used in this way to score political points. I would be furious if I was them, but it does seem a lot of people are not falling for this one and calling it out for what it is.
People finally seem to be getting wise to this political race baiting which is refreshing to see.
It’s also telling that in the week of the debate they try and paint Trump as a tax evasion offender. I think that’s what they wanted the tax returns to show, they seem to have got annoyed when it turns out his tax returns were fine in accordance to what his companies profits were - but decided to run with it anyway. Any news is good news in their mind as it’s another thing Joe can use when in a tricky spot.
But I hope the discussions remain political and doesn’t turn into some form of gossip peddling reality TV episode.
Although I think there should be some kind of drinking game involved if it does turn that way, how many times Biden completely loses his thread of thought and blurts out “I mean, think about it...” you have to take a shot. 
I will be watching with great interest anyway.

Trump goes into the first debate with him and his team knowing he is ill and they say nought - you all stay silent. | |

The President is stated to be on a trial drug (and not hydroxychloroquine) that is not available to the rest of the poulation and no cries of "elites"...I'm shocked I tell you! | |

You are making strange comments here and expecting people to respond to them with insight?
It’s a virus with a 99.5% survival rate. I downplay the flu and have got it before, not sure what point you are making? I will still downplay the flu and say regardless of the 650,000 flu or flu related deaths per year life shouldn’t come to a halt. [Post edited 4 Oct 2020 0:50]

None, what he said was spot on.
Tucker Carlson is one of the most effective people in political media. His analysis of situations is outstanding time and time again.
If you haven’t listened to it then I highly recommend it. By all means of you think his political allegiances have caused him to say something inaccurate then stick it on here, but I’m sure you will find it as accurate as I do.
The only thing he didn’t touch upon was Wallace, but that may be because they are colleagues. [Post edited 1 Oct 2020 11:56]

The best President I can remember in my life time.
Without question. |
Since Joe Biden is in every way a superior human being then I guess that that the election will be good for you whoever wins.
Biden is the equivalent of David Cameron, i.e. a slightly left of centre Conservative. I'd never vote for him in our elections but he's the best choice for the US right now. I've never heard anything bad about him personally, unlike the sleazeball, women molesting, tax avoiding prick that is Trump. |  |

You obviously know nothing about Mr Biden then.
Or his son, or the rest of his family. |  | | |

Doc, this explains a lot about the attitudes to the mass media.

Why would anyone cry "elites", so he elected and they elected him to be included in the trial.
I would say a braver man than many, taking a completely untested antibody concoction, in combination with a drug that has known adverse side affects.
A combination of 2 treatments that could combine their side affects to kill him. | | | |

I missed that comment.
Yes DJack, really. By quite some distance.
What he says is absolutely spot on, the left are victim blaming by saying he deserves it. I’m unsure why you felt that link suggests anything otherwise than what I stated. [Post edited 4 Oct 2020 13:06]

How far right do people have to be to consider the Democratic Party of America to be “lefties”? |  |

About 1" to the right of centre.
Perhaps you do not recognise the "Green New Deal" for what it is? [Post edited 4 Oct 2020 13:42]

Its hard to believe that a long standing political system in one of the most consistent democracies in the world and Joe Biden is the best candidate that the Democratic party can offer to lead . | |
