The presidential debate is on. I watched it for 5 minutes. I saw a lot of squabbling between Trump and the moderator, Chris Wallace of Fox News. So I turned off the TV. I’m not watching it. If you don’t know who you want to vote for after our four years of Trump’s presidency, I don’t think 90 minutes of debate will help you.
Besides, Trump has already predicted the November election will be "the most corrupt election in the history of our country," while spreading false claims and inaccurate statements about widespread voter fraud. If Trump loses the election, I don’t think he plans to leave the White House. I don’t think he will concede the election. He has already said, when asked if he will leave if he loses, that he would have to “look at it.”
This is the first time in history that a U.S. president has said that if he loses an election he might remain in the White House. In previous discussions, Trump’s threat to remain in the White House has been countered with the argument that if he does refuse to leave, U.S. Marshalls will escort him from the White House. Really? The man who is commander-in-chief of the Army and the Marines is going to be escorted out of the White House by U.S. Marshalls? What’s wrong with that picture?
Time will tell, and it won’t be long.

I watched the debate which was more like comedy hour. Biden did a terrible job and showed his inability to deal with things under the stress of Trump. I completely agree the election may be a mess --- we the people already know some truth to the ballot issue. Biden said you get a ballot if requested but I know lots of friends/family who received a ballot and did not request it.
I still think Trump is the bull dog we want watching our hen house -- it was obvious he attempted to contain himself. Chris Matthews in my opinion was not the best choice for the referee.
I agree if your mind was not made up before the debate -- you're in trouble.
Thanks for posting -- I can imagine the comedy night shows are going to have fodder for their skits for ages.
