Trump / Biden Debate tonight 9/29 @ 9:00 Eastern

300 million people or thereabouts and these two are the best they could come up with I know candidates need a lot of money behind them, but there must be some better ones out there somewhere!

If anything was to make me thankful we don’t have a President then this was it.

If America wants to gain an iota of standing in the world, they should vote for Biden, Electoral College not withstanding, (how odd is that?). At least other countries would not either be laughing at, or feeling sorry for, the USA as so many are now. With Trump as President, that country has become "the swamp he wanted to drain". His actions and reactions have been bred in him. Look at his family history.

And if I hear someone else say the president, red or blue, is the leader of the free world, I'll scream. It's outdated, not true and so last century!

Added to most of the above, I think the moderator was dreadful and should have a mute button. I actually think set piece debates like this are worse than useless in determining who would be the best president ( or PM in this country).

If he does get elected, he may meet an unfortunate little accident not long afterwards and then the Democrats can pretend to be so sad and his running mate, their real choice, will step in.

Strewth!

qq ?????. Really ?

Says something that those 2 candidates are the only ones that the USA can come up with.

I really don’t see what Biden could have done when he was constantly being interrupted and talked over all the time. The moderator was a total farce and should have turned off tRump’s microphone - the rules said that they should have 2 minutes uninterrupted to answer the question.

I don’t think either of them did themselves any favours did they?

I thought Biden looked and sounded frail and Trump was repulsive as always.
Is there not a single American born, 35 year old in the whole of the USA who aspires to be president?

Perhaps we should remember that the moderator works for Fox News, which was immensely helpful to getting Trump elected in 2016.

I have an American granddaughter who aspires to be the first female US president.

She has a canny head on her and I reckon would make a better job of it than these two would, even though she’s only seven years old.

She sounds ideal Sue, but is she a billionaire?

Good grief and I thought we had bad candidates to choose from. Just like two kids scrapping in the back yard.

She’s working on it, Varian.

Her parents pay a damn sight more tax than Trump does. I guess they’re not smart. ?

rosecarmel, having seen them squabbling (like children) on the news, I have no wish to watch any more!

I don't blame you in the least, Hetty!

We missed a golden opportunity with Elizabeth Warren-

Michelle Obama suggested during the convention that we not waste our votes by writing in the candidate of our choice but to vote for Joe- In others words, vote for him regardless in order to win back the oval office-

He's an awful choice .. and admit I'm not convinced I should vote for him ..

Surely you wouldn’t support a Nazi supporter!!!

It was an unedifying slanging match, difficult to watch and listen to in fact. Apparently the format is going to be changed for the next debate thank goodness. Hopefully the next one will be better moderated.

I assume you are changing your mind about Trump after his refusal to condem the group of Nazi supporters? In fact he went further and told them to be prepared!!!

Can you imagine Barack Obama conducting himself in this manner - it was a total car crash! If I was an American I wouldn't vote for either of them. Appalling behaviour!

Trump will still win I think.

What a shocking contrast between the graceful, intelligent decency and dignity of Obama and the graceless, ignorant grossness and narcissiism of Trump.

I won money when he was elected. I think my bets pretty safe this time.
