  1. Not voting is what Trump wants. Those on the fence need to be taught what it means to have an administration a real administration with all the constructs and framework that Bidan or any real president now or in the past would have organized to take care of issues at the lowest level of government. There are no constructs and framework under Trump’s administration. He has intentionally torn it out and disposed of it. He simply has temps assigned to positions ready to tear things down and attack the populace when and where the populace objects to Donald Trump; like Wolf, and his Wolf-Pack Nazi terrorist thugs. If nothing else replace and improve iteratively. Donald Trump has to go! #DonTheCon

    1. Andy Griffith … Look at this YouTube clip history is trying to repeat itself it’s not about white people and their guns it’s just like what Hitler did listen to this survivor and look what’s happening today in the world… Coincidence? I think not https://youtu.be/-awkYhtey50

  2. “President “ seems to lost something called RESPECT that the current demonic entity that pretends to be one is clearly NOT. No sorry, soon to be President Biden was nice because my words would have been much worse.

    1. @Truth Finder Biden didn’t need to say much except the usual talking points. Wallace was their to clean up for him.

    2. I like that Biden told Trump to shut up and called him a clown. Just call it what it is! –Bonnie Robinson

    1. @Miguel FrainoYour so right, Probably the reason why so many Hispanics/ Latinos are supporting Trump in huge numbers.

    2. @Sam McCormack This needs to be seen, and by plenty. Fact checking Trump is the lefts obsession, even when its a sarcastic reply that the left are clueless on or dont pick up. The 2nd Debate is going to expose Joey for the Democrat con man he is.

    3. Nope Biden lost his bearing…it was all just too much for him counter and he wants the most stressful job on the planet?

    1. @N N “The BIBLE” Greatest Book Ever Written.
      Last Days Prophesy!
      Babylon The Great (America) has Fallen.
      All Praises To The Most High and his Son.

      ELOHIM Vengeance Is Upon America The Wicked!!!

    1. 100% When Trumpers do the “but he did it too” which most of the time is some accusation from reputable sources such as Face Book or 8Kun. I ask them so if behavior in a debate is one of your characteristics for picking someone for President, who performed better? Your vote is a relative decision between two candidates. I recommend the lady referred to in the interview just write in her ideal candidate.

    2. If she couldn’t rule out Trump after his rude and disgusting behavior then she shouldn’t have voting privileges in the first place.

  3. “I’m happy my kids were not awake to see that,” in reference to Biden’s comment. Well I hope her kids have been sleeping for four years because Trump has made many more horrifying comments than “Shut up, man.”

  4. That woman is not undecided. She expect him to sit there like a wimp? He has devalued the presidency. SHUT UP!

    1. Narcissists are so fragile. If they anticipate any criticism they won’t let the person speak. Talking over someone and repeating a demeaning accusation toward them is equivalent to a kid sticking their fingers in their ears singing nan-nana-nanya. Trump is so classic narcissist.

  5. When the President of the United States is as arrogant as Trump is, it’s appropriate to tell the President to shut up.

    1. @Tony Bell Hmmm no…… You got that saying wrong. “Respect is earned, not given”. Donald has done more to degrade the office, degrade the presidency and degrade USA’s standing in the world than any other president in modern history.

  6. After years of trump’s abusive words, actions, tweets etc., some woman is upset a very decent man told trump to shut up. Honey, GET OVER IT! We all needed to hear trump finally be told to shut up.

    1. lily and murphy well the only time of Trump that effects me is 2017 Inauguration to today. I really could care less about his words, actions and tweets.
      What concerns me are his policies, agenda and what he has accomplished. So after the election we can all tell the Democrats to shut up 😀

  7. To the “undecided woman” who criticized Biden, did she expect him to back down from a bully? The problem is that few folks have stood up to Trump’s vicious, insulting, demeaning attack. Trump has never comported himself with decency, class or dignity and certainly Trump has not behaved “presidential”. Going high when Trump goes low doesn’t work.

    1. That woman, isn’t going to vote for Biden, regardless of what Joe says or does not say. She just want air time on TV.

    2. @Poboy GotdaBlues, The smarter play for Biden would be to not stoop to Trump’s level, and he failed to realize that.

    3. Poboy GotdaBlues oh! I agree 100 %! If u let a bully push you around, and just COWER , the bully knows he’s got you in his hip pocket! WE HAVE TO FIGHT BACK! Even when it seems like we cannot win!

    4. If she is truly undecided then she is stupid. All that has happened and going on… She should have come to some sort of decision by now. This is not a hard decision.

    1. Like a Leftist bully, you think anyone that doesn’t think the way you do is part of the problem.

    2. As an Independent, I am still “undecided”. I will vote for the party that I hate the least. As of this moment, I hate both parties equally, but stupid people like yourself could make me vote a certain way. Are you Left or Right?

  8. The biggest takeaway to me was Joe defending both his sons, without attacking Trumps family,I’m sure there’s a lot he could say.

    1. @mr ady and mim yay Then you need to brush up your skills of comprehension. Because this was about nepotism, plus Biden not going low at Trump when he could have when the topic of his son was brought up.

      Again, deflection. But that is all Trump supporters have now.:-)

    2. @Harpreet Singh Chawla Biden not going low on Trump….. ‘You’re such a clown ‘……You’re a racist’…… Why don’t you just shut up’…… Very classy.

    1. How childish is it to misspell Trumps name because you don’t like him. Can’t take people like you seriously.

    2. @ARC Services No….Trump won the electoral college. Those votes come mainly from New York and California which Hillary was going to win anyway.

    3. @Elizabeth Gray trump would never do anything as childish as make fun of someone’s name. HYPOCRITE.

  9. I loved his response. Every man in this world would have defended their family and especially his two sons and if you wouldn’t you’re not a man

  10. “I’m glad my children weren’t awake to see that”

    Oh stop clutching your pearls. It was the perfect lesson to teach kids how to stand up to bullies. Someone needed to say it to him and it’s been a long time coming.

  11. You dont bring peoples children into a debate. Biden had a lot he could have said about Trumps kids but had enough grace not to.

  12. The American people need appreciate how Joe Biden resisted walking over to that trump guy and punching him in the face.
