Final presidential debate moderated by Biden backer.

[Aldebaran]

I understand though, I'd be embarrassed too if I'd spent four years reflexively defending POTUS' incompetence.

The only POTUS he tried defending was Obama. Yeah, embarrassing.

 

[Triumvirate]

Has she ever shown a tendency to go against her family by doing something that would go against her family's financial interests on live TV in front of the whole world?

What does that have to do with it?

(Edit: Haha, wait what? How does saying you'd do something against what your parents vote going to hurt their financial interests? You can explain that in more detail too.)

Please, as the OP, clarify for all of us in what sense she personally is a 'backer' of Biden. I did review the link you provided, but didn't happen to see anything that supported the claim she is a backer of Biden. Or anything to do with her donating, given that you rather assertively mentioned donors to another commenter earlier.

Sure they do! People do that all the time. Listen to two people having an argument sometime and you'll notice it.

Well, this is a debate, not a conversational argument. Have you ever seen one before? The ‘argument’ is in how you make your case, not how loudly you say your points or how little you let your opponent speak.

When the other person tells a number of lies, it takes more than 2 minutes to correct them all on top of trying to answer the question. Best to address biden's lies as soon as they come out. Otherwise, they get told and then pushed aside as he builds upon them with a false narrative. Having to go back and address the lie and everything said after that takes much longer, and 2 minutes isn't enough time to do that on top of answering the question Trump is asked.

Boy the projection is heavy with this part...

That’s why many people believe these ‘debates’ are pointless. You’re right that 2 minutes really isn’t enough time to go into any level of detail on policy positions or even the opponent’s points against you but these debates are mostly just made for tv ratings and this president is a tv ratings kinda guy so I guess if that’s what you’re interested in seeing I can understand why you’d be against any limits on his show he’s putting on for his fans.

I'm hoping for another unhunged trump performance.

The last one was hilarious.

Minus the spreading a deadly disease to his family and employees. That part wasn't quite so great.

 

[KCfromNC]

I'm hoping Biden will finally answer the question about whether or not he intends to pack the Supreme Court.

Would you vote for him if he did answer?

 

[Triumvirate]

I'm also not sure what the point of all the huffing and puffing in this thread is.

First debate was chaired by a Fox news presenter.
Second debate didn't happen because President Manchild bravely ran away
Third debate being chaired by a Biden backer (assuming some evidence is actually provided to show that she is, batch) would mean....we've ended up pretty balanced really

Odd that debate moderators need to be squeaky-clean but the candidates don’t.

The liberal moderators. I note that there wasn't this level of demented honking over the first moderator, plucked freshly from Fox news.

So, so funny how liberals are expected never to express any political opinion at all, else they become a biden backer, but noone ever expects this standard of conservatives.

I'm hoping Biden will finally answer the question about whether or not he intends to pack the Supreme Court. He told George Stephanopoulus that he would give us an answer before the election. He could technically wait until November 2nd when all the early voters already voted anyway, but he might surprise us by actually informing the public of his intentions before then.

The answer is YES.

The size of SCOTUS is up to congress. Supreme Court of the United States - Wikipedia

I suppose the president could present a bill, but it would be up to congress to pass it. Of course, POTUS could veto.

If congress passed such a bill, the POTUS would be duty bound to fill the seats as that is his/her role WRT SCOTUS.

 

[Aldebaran]

Would you vote for him if he did answer?

No, but I'd have more respect for him for actually being transparent about what he plans to actually do if he became president.

It's almost as if we Dems aren't the snowflakes.

Then you can understand that he might be more focused on his campaign rather than the respect of a random person on the internet.

The Democrats petulantly refused to show up for the Confirmation meeting last week. All of them.

Yes, they have outed themselves.

That wasn’t being snowflakes. That was a procedural tactic intended to deny Republicans the quorum needed to move things forward.

It was a petulant childish outburst that they knew would be unsuccessful. There were already enough people there to meet the number necessary and it did proceed.

Do your JOB.

According to what I read, the quorum required at least a couple people from the minority party.

Considering that they’re representing the interests of their constituents, obstructionism in this case is their job.

Joe Biden and his campaign team work the angle all the time NEVER let a conversation even start that puts the attention on himself. Good statedgy to a point but overused comes across making him took like a totalitarian dictator as in NO shut up. I mean would Joe even allow himself to be interviewed with a hostile press? Has he ever? Or is it rather just always his friends in the mainstream media?

 

[NxNW]

The only POTUS he tried defending was Obama. Yeah, embarrassing.

Obama should be embarrassed about being the best President since Lincoln?

First debate was chaired by a Fox news presenter.

So your point is Wallace is some kind of Trump supporter? I'd say IMO when the chips are down he leans on the left. Laura Ingraham would have been a better choice.

Third debate being chaired by a Biden backer (assuming some evidence is actually provided to show that she is, batch) would mean....we've ended up pretty balanced really

I don't know what you mean "she is batch" It wasn't fair, IMO although she did bring up the latest alleged Biden email revelations. Let's face it though.....the KNEW that they KNEW that they had to do it. I noticed it seemed numbers of times she kept talking over Trump saying we've got to move on, move on.....and yet when Trump still keep talking for say 6 seconds she'd let Biden respond...didn't quite see her saying to him we've got to move on least not in the same measure she did for Trump. My solution....just have two biased moderators each given 20 minutes to be in control.
