I would have walked out ages ago. It's no fun trying to debate a sad, stupid, mean clown.

The oil industry is doing poorly, they are laying off people, their stocks are plummeting.

with buildings with tiny windows. (And I foresee a video with an accordion added to this.)

What was that $100 trillion?

Wow.

about the economy. About money. Our unemployment was low.

We had the "best numbers."

Trump says if Biden gets in, there'll be a depression and your 401Ks will "go to hell."

We will ALWAYS have to import some oil because different grades of oil have to be blended.

BTW, the oil industry is NOT doing well because the cost of a barrel of oil is so low right now because of decreased demand during COVID-19. We've actually run out of storage capacity.

I have turned down job interviews when I found out it was a business in O&G. I rode that roller coaster long enough. I worked for one business that went bankrupt and another that had to lay off half their staff.

"Vice President Biden has been accused of selling pillows and sheets" and they're going to "track that down." The way Williams said it was hysterical!

Whatever president big boy was trying to achieve with this debate, it didn't work. He sure as hell didn't win over any undecided voters if there even is such a thing.
