These debates should use a sound proof booth with an internal speaker and a microphone for each participant.

When the one guy is given his time to talk the others people are all muted.

Pretty sure very very few of the forum members can vote so highly doubt he was referencing people here. Even if he was big deal, toughen up.

Ya you’re right. We are likely stuck with the Turd for another term if an election were called tomorrow. Its funny how we in Canada trash the US and its politicians as if we are so high and mighty when we as Canadians voted in our moron twice. Those who live glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Latest claim is that Biden was wearing a wire. No class displayed by either, last night.

I don't understand all of the "But what about Trudeau?" comments. Two men can be morons at once.

I would imagine that the vast majority of those calling Trump a moron are equally willing to give Trudeau the same treatment.

I may be wrong but I think it's assumed that anyone who doesn't support Trump is automatically viewed as a Trudeau supporter. The whole left vs right theme of today's politics doesn't allow for centrist views. It's "you're either for or against" with no middle ground.

All too true. No class shown by ANY. The so called moderator let that get out of control from the get go. I gutted thru watching it again this morning and it was all to apparent Trump spent far more time debating the moderator than Biden.
It was a classless farce by all three. I am embarrassed that the standards of politics and so called journalism have been lowered to the point they are in America.
Wonderful display for the world to see, thank you very much Larry, Mo, and Curly.

I’ve never taken a liking to the term ‘Dog whistle’ and it’s used exclusively in a derogatory fashion by the left. No center or right wing people use it that I’ve ever seen. If one reads it a lot, that’s a sign of which direction their media feed leans, and it’s not neutral.

I won’t claim to know anything about the Proud Boys (perhaps I should read up). If they are white supremacists then I’d be against them, but at the same time I know to take claims from the left with a few grains of salt, as they throw around the term ‘racist’ so loosely that they’ve become the epitome of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. One has to fact-check any claims of racism, and a significant number of claims turn out baseless, though unfortunately some are true. It will never be stomped out entirely and it goes in all directions between all ethnicities (Many are confused by the fact that racism can be committed against white people, they don’t think that’s a thing) . It’s often used as a means to shut for own debate when they’re losing on points of fact. There was even an idiot on here who wanted to sling the term at me, but he keeps getting suspended so that part is self-explanatory.

I did see some YouTube footage noting a protest where a Proud Boy was debating with a protester. The lady called him either a racist or a white supremacist, but he was a heavily accented Cuban immigrant with darker skin...... “How could a pigmented Cuban immigrant be a white supremacist” I thought. Perhaps more investigation is in order, there’s only so many things to delve into and I’ve not got around to checking that out, but I do notice people slinging such insults rather casually so there is doubt any time that particular tactic is used.

the 'American' people are hard to like. I watched for a few minutes but all I could think was 'verbal diarrhea.' This morning on all the news networks is more of the same. It's a wonder he doesn't gag on it.

Are these the interesting times referred to in the Chinese curse/blessing?

Not true, while some of us think they are both clowns, many people that are anti Trump support Trudeau

The way I see it, if we here in Canada had to choose between trump turd or biden, I’d choose Trump for the simple reason his focus is on what’s best for his country. Turd is in it for self gratification and wealth, and biden has to be reminded every morning where he is.

I'm not talking about the degree to which each individual is moronic, I'm simply stating that Trump can be a moron regardless of Trudeau. It makes very little sense to me to state that Trudeau is a moron when we're talking about Trump. It would be no different than having a conversation about how moronic Trudeau is, and steering it to "But what about Trump?"

To be clear, I consider both men to be morons. The whole "If you're not with Trump, you're a lefty, communist, socialist, liberal, etc. etc. etc." is very tiring.

I was referring to those on this board. While I don't imagine there are many Trudeau supporters on this board, there are obviously many people in the general population that are anti-Trump and pro-Trudeau.

And not everyone is pro Trump or anti Trump, some of despise him as a person, but see him as the lesser of two evils.

Default Tuesday’s presidential

That whole fiasco was an embarrassment to the USA. They are both terrible, but Trump is the lesser of two evils. It’s disgusting how North American politics are. The whole thing should not be the responsibility of any one individual, but the responsibility of a board of perhaps 10 very credible people who are experts in various fields pertaining to politics. As it is both Canada and the USA are on a very scary downfall that may never be brought up to the standards and ideals that we all would like to aspire too. Our countries may never recover from the damages that our so called leaders have done.

Biden was delivered layups and Trump was served statements of his failures with no exit.

Trump is a buffoon. But he was right when he said hes debating the moderator and the Dems.

Clear bias, before, during and after the debate from all media.

The witch hunt continues.

The American system offers two "legitimate " choices for the Presidency. It's not hard to see which man is better suited for the office. Trump haters will vote for the Democratic Party regardless so unless they're brain dead they expect Biden to be a puppet controlled by party advisors. That's exactly what Eurepean globalists hope for and will extend their influence to manipulate US policy. Trudeau will be right there to help too, and the UN. If Americans don't want to live in a socialist country they better get on board with Trump.
We're facing about the same future too. What too many Canadians don't think about is a vote for any candidate other than a Conservative one is a vote for more of Trudeau.

And I am positive that most people on here would agree but that's a whole other topic. This thread is Tuesday's presidential debate...
