2020 US Elections

[Bigga]

Still wrong my friend. My post was in total isolation. As I have said before I have been educated and illuminated by your viewpoint but you did say Biden had to have a perfect debate then said no more than mediocre. My post was nothing whatsover with any broader issues. Move on, you have more worthy battles to fight. :-)

Happy to.

I'm not sure by what metric 'perfect' means 'spectacular' when 'mediocre, with no mistakes' would fit that metric also. He should be able to do this, hands down with his experience.

So he doesn't need all the bells and whistles to do this as I've constantly explained, but yes we shall move on.

100% agree.

All politicians care about people and the planet. Including Trump, Biden, Obama, etc.

The biggest lie in politics is that all politicians are power hungry despots who don't give a shit about anybody but themselves. It's just a way for people to sway others to their side.

In reality the difference between most politicians is that their idea of how to go about helping the people and the planet are radically different. Don't confuse the two.

Trump isn’t a politician. That’s the ticket he got in on in 2016. Supposedly his business acumen was what was going to change America.

He’s living off the taxpayer in America. Has tried to turn the presidency intro his private fund by the looks of things.

He is not a politician. He is a vile human being. Whatever Biden is or isn’t, his biggest asset in the run up is that he is not Trump. He can be diplomatic. He can empathise with people.
Trump is a sociopath. Maybe not the first to hold that office. I really don’t know, but I can’t think of anyone less presidential.

Yeah yeah orange man bad. It's all so fucking tedious.

He is bad. He’s appalling. Whataboutism , doesn’t change that.
I think the American system is so fucked up I really don’t see who could or would Change it.
Good luck to Biden if he does get in as there will be huge expectations that things will change.
If he has the will, that would be a start, but as some have said already the two parties are two cheeks of the one arse.

Protection of your laws and institutions and democratic process is a must.

2am in the UK.

BBC and Sky will show it live.

Cheers for that.
Which US channel is it on? Just wondered in terms of who would be moderating it.
Last time was it 3 tv debates, one with a panel of journalists and the other 2 with a single host??

I get what you both mean, but he ain't a politician, he's not even a 'businessman'. He's a charlatan with nothing to lose. You cannot measure the debate in the same metric, therefore it's Biden's to lose by that standard hence why I mentioned earlier in the thread that #45 would not play the game in terms of politics as we know it.

You both are looking at this as a true political fight. Clinton got sucked into the same mistake as you guys are doing.

I maintain my original post.

I fear you are correct.
Can he get away with the same tactics as last time having been in office for the last 4 years nearly and having presided over the Covid mismanagement.

You would imagine Biden should be ready for it but can he live with that kind of bullying.

Chris Wallace, single host as far as I am aware. I believe he did Clinton Trump in 2016. Sorry that I can't help with US channels but I would imagine it shouldn't be difficult to find.

Ta - think he’s Fox iirc, but the best of the presenters they have

I'm not sure I catch the Trumpist argument that Biden is such an old feeble unfit man that he can no longer function but at the same time he's fit enough to listen in to an earpiece or memorize the questions and all his answers in advance.

I would have thought having someone in your ear rattling of things all night would make it harder to perform well. We'll see...
