    Participating in a debate is not just about policy, it also provides insight into the mental acuity of the debaters🤔
  • @acidfromhell
    Trump might have to debate via Zoom from jail. 😂😂
  • @joancooney7724
    Can't wait for the Debate and watch Trump talk like a 2 yr old
  • @niclewis9610
    Cadet Bonespurs won't turn up to debate. He'll chicken out and blame everyone else.
  • @user-bb1vq5if7m
    Both Trump and Biden should be required to take a drug test before the debate. What’s there to hide?
  • @emsleywyatt3400
    "Sheldon Adelson isn't getting up and applauding every couple of minutes." Well, certainly not now.
  • @epochchange6803
    In my opinion, people need to watch this debate at home, crowds are not necessary. So if there are those who think Dump is getting short shrift, they can throw their TV dinner at the TV set, they can yell and scream in the comfort of their own home. They can even break up their own furniture if they want to. This is a great arrangement.
  • @TheMadelineTV
    I think it’s worth noting, Trump wouldn’t debate those running to be his own parties presidential candidate so he does nothing that doesn’t benefit HIM🤮
  • @ellenbenson7895
    Just realized, remembered that Trump did not attend Biden's inauguration, refused to attend - which was a big break from the tradition - the peaceful and cordial transfer of power just never happened in Trump's mind and in his actions also.
  • @DavidJ222
    Fun fact: Trump failed to show up for his last debate with Biden in 2020. 😅🤣
  • @user-fm8rc4zh4h
    to save time rather than reciting his ridiculous former title, just call him a hack
  • @mowillis9243
    I think every canidate for every political position should debate AT LEAST 3 Times before each election! As a voter, I feel ripped off when politicians find a bs reason not to debate! You can say whatever in adsoron campaign trails but I need to see how your plans and policies hold up under scrutiny!
  • @dctrevett
    It must be difficult to keep a straight face when playing the role of trump - he's so effing ridiculous.
  • @bobevans9955
    I know one thing CNN should have absolutely nothing to do with this debate they're not credible anymore at all.
  • It's so easy to predict. Biden will be he brains and Trump will be the bumbling fool as he was the last time and will be this time but much more bumbling.
  • @laoxinat
    Neither of which will Trump attend 😂
  • @pzkpfw6864
    Release the Hur tapes so we can hear all the incoherent pauses from the Potato in Cheif
