    No you haven't, it one of the factcheckers raises his hand or flips his light or whatever that they think a lie was just spoken does the moderator stop the debate so they can declare what is the lie and the others then get to discuss and vote and then if can the candidates challenge their ruling and rebut? Do you realize the MESS that would make of the debate?

    How do you know that, and what are supposed to be doing listening to the candidates or reading the factchecker scrolls of what was said 2 minutes earlier and then have the canididates go back? Like if Biden says he and Obama saved the economy will the factcheckers post the history of the recession and the dates when the stimulus was passed showing it had nothing to do with ending it and turning it around and will they note that the stimulus failed by Obama's own measure? They will put all that up there.

    It’s not going to happen. This is just an attempt by Bidens handlers to get him out of debating but nobody will fall for it. The debates will go on or Biden will chicken out which will cost him the election. After all if he’s scared to debate Trump how could he stand up to other leaders of other countries.

    No. There are no undecided. At this point, everyone in the USA either Biden or Trump-attached, and no debates or fact-checking will change that. Of course, there's a small group of these who will vote for neither but again, no debate or fact-checking will make them vote for Trump or Biden. Simple as that.

    I'll split the difference... there are not no undecideds, but it's likely the smallest number in history with 2 months to go...

    Just what is "undecided"? Are there these who are still not sure if either Trump or Biden deserves their votes, are looking to the merits of these two candidates, trying to choose between them? If someone suggests this to me with a straight face, I'll :roflol:

    Well me personally never brought it up. Presidents nominations I would assume get put thru vetting in terms if that considering it is in the constitution to be president. Another thing If it wasnt for thatI wouldnt care as long as they upheld the constitution, respected the nation, and overall a good president unlike what we have now.

    Fair point... I certainly don't know any personally, but I have to believe they're out there because I believe there will be a huge drop in 3rd party voting from 2016 and the Trump/Biden pcts don't combine for even 97% yet

    In my perfect dream world, we'd just move on to the election ASAP and let all the money spent on useless campaign ads on both sides go towards filling the unemployment shortage or keeping Stars and Stripes afloat.

    Although the ad I saw today with the moms and dads of dead veterans responding to what Trump reportedly said about losers was pretty darn good. They put those things out quickly...

    ~ During the "debate" let's see if Biden is asked about the Obama administration using the. FBI/CIA to spy on Trump's campaign . The cash sent to Iran without Congress approval would be another question. Why Biden threatened to hold back funding if a Ukrainian government top prosecutor was not fired ...
    Check that "fact checker" .

    No, reportedly as in "four people with firsthand knowledge", who are clearly still in the administration, since everybody out has already said their piece and everybody still in is too afraid...

    Supposedly four people who supposedly said something. Even left wing media is saying put up or shut up and the guy that wrote the story admitted nobody actually said Trump said that but he connected dots and came up with it himself

    Wow... easy stuff.

    Never happened....It was Iran's money.... To get the corrupt prosecutor fired, as was the policy of the USA and the international community at the time.

    THAT's what you're going to come with??

    Keep in mind Obama's words of wisdom:

    don't 'underestimate Joe's ability to f**k things up'

    In your dream world Joe can just field the softball questions picked by his staff. I want to see him debate. I understand if you do not.

    And as Molly Hemingway is reporting 11 people ON THE RECORD saying it did not happen including Bolton who unequivocally disputes it. Who are the people who claim it did?

    Did you see the "questions" today after his not an economic speech as announced but let me bash Trump speech today. They might as well have been bringing Trump's head up on a platter, handing Biden the bat and letting him hit it to the back of they room, running back to retrieve it and letting him do it again. It was a journalistic disgrace on display.

    Whoever that is...

    LOL... You might want to lock up Bolton a little better

    SNIP
    Bolton also told Bloomberg it's "it's certainly possible" Trump made the comments "later in the day."

    Not hearing something is hardly unequivocally disputing it...
