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.

I'm my own man, Clinton won, that was the widely held opinion and it was not even close, the media is controlled by the right wing that is why there are right wing Governments across the Western World. |
Which media are you suggesting is right wing?  | |

Labour is a right wing party, yet the media call them left wing, lol.
Plaid and SNP are in the middle yet are called far left by the right wing media .
The starting point of the right wing media is that the right wing is in the centre and anyone out on the right but left of centre right is left wing, lol.
The Dems and Reps in America are right wing parties. | |

Of the 20 main publications, 75% of them are left wing.
Of the 25% that are right wing, only 4 of them are mainstream.
Governments are right leaning because the left is utterly bonkers and there are still enough sensible people to vote them in, the fact its so close in elections is testament to the power of that media, it should be a landslide. | |

I have no interest in UK politics or media personally, not in a position to comment.
But on the thread about American politics, the publications are clear. | |

Nearly all those outlets are not left wing, a better description would be not that there are still enough sensible people but that there are enough gullible people about. | |

Democrats in the States are not left wing by European standards they have strong corporate ties, there is no left in America, it's a capitalist state with right wing capitalist media.
