At the debate, they are just two citizens who are candidates for the job. Klaralven Sep 2020 #27

there is a much better way - preface responses with "well, that's what limbaugh always says but..." certainot Sep 2020 #29

So Donald fashioned himself after Rush Limbaugh? No wonder he makes my stomach sick Maraya1969 Sep 2020 #68

limbaugh is the only reason trump or bush got near the WH and putins been using talk radio certainot Sep 2020 #86

I agree PatSeg Sep 2020 #30

Oh yes, I remember that PatSeg Sep 2020 #55

His base would love that Zak112234 Sep 2020 #80

Biden certainly should NOT call him "Mr. President." maddiemom Sep 2020 #60

He will call him Donald BannonsLiver Sep 2020 #39

I would rather Joe just called his "AnusMouth" or "Shitgibbon"..... lastlib Sep 2020 #77

Well, as someone said - pmurT has already lost the first debate and Joe wasn't even there. GoneOffShore Sep 2020 #15

I'm not. I'm thinking if it were pay per view I'd buy it! Just look at how Trump can't handle Maraya1969 Sep 2020 #70

Sounds quite right. JB need to confront the lie, clearly, CONCLUSIVELY, and quickly! empedocles Sep 2020 #4

The office...which Trump currently holds. BannonsLiver Sep 2020 #64

If mumbling "no puppet; you're the puppet." like a six-year-old didn't show Trump's skin was maddiemom Sep 2020 #61

If they start out shaking hands Joe ought to make sure he has something sticky on his hand captain queeg Sep 2020 #7
