Undecided Ohio Voters Looking For ‘Character’ In First Presidential Debate | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
If they’re looking for character, morals and ethics…. This should be an easy answer and it is? Joe Biden!
Yes!!
Donald: You’re fired t-shirt: teespring.com/dkbye
Jamie Cox Like it – a nice positive statement. Thanks.
for the love of all holy, how can anyone be undecided? what fundamental character flaw in the electorate allows this?
@Ron Willemsen don’t think that doesn’t grieve me.
@ted kaczynski I’m Canadian, like my sisters and brothers in the great white north, we mourn the loss of your great nation to greed, avarice, corruption and unbridled devotion to a liberty that your President is steeling from you and your children…. not to mention how many lives his ignorance has also stolen. When the rubber finally hits the road, Canadians will, like in 9/11 be there to help you get out of the ditch and back on the road
@Ron Willemsen my canadian friends constantly remind me that you are ‘resource providers.’ until now i’ve never considered two of those resources to be moral example and therapist.
@Ron Willemsen for that matter, i’ve never been so ashamed of my aging white male demographic either.
@ted kaczynski It’s who we are as Canadians. We low blow as well as anyone however, that’s when saying or doing nothing threatens health and well being and that goes for anyone in the world. Americans are our neighbors, friends, allies… What we do for you is because it’s best for us both. Christ said to his desciples following the rich man asking him what he must do to enter the kingdom of God… Christ says, “The measure of a man’s wealth is not in what he owns but by the measure of his friends. What makes us great is each other
If you’re looking for a rotten character with the sense of morality of a parsnip, then Trump is your man 😉
Go away European troll
❣🧡🌹🧡
But I love parsnips, they are lovely veggies…
WHY insult them, why – THEY never promissed to build ANY walls, fake or otherwise!
😢😢😢
Hahaha. I have to disagree with you. Parsnip has its own worth unlike that POS.
A parsnip is amoral, Trump is immoral.
What Trump policies? He has none.
Trump policy, I Me Mine!
EMPTY promises now BRIBES
@vote red Trump 2020 Hope you can help with his legal fees. He owes 400mil to RUSSIA.
Sure he does:
1. Kids in cages and hatred of immigrants
2. Violating the emoluments clause
3. whatever Putin wants
4. Tax cuts for the rich
5. Destroy Affordable health care and replace with nothing
6. Nominate whichever judge the right wing Federalist Society lunatics want
7. Destroy everything Obama ever did
8. Start a civil war
9. Get even on everybody who doesn’t worship him
10. Own the libs by any spiteful, malicious and trollish behavior he can get away with
Yes! Exactly.
If they see character as someone who has committed Tax Evasion and possibly Tax Fraud, then tRump is their man.
I like presidents who PAY their TAXES and DON’T LIE to the American People.
@Bao Hoang You need help
What tax evasion?
@Gary Quarty https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-inc-podcast-never-before-seen-trump-tax-documents-show-major-inconsistencies
@Jasmany Foch LOL that’s interesting. I don’t even remember what we were arguing about hehe
@Jasmany Foch OK, you can stop with the cupcake and sweeties. You were right about the babies, but that’s it 😛
‘Undecided’ looking for ‘character’ !? You wont find that in trump, so how can one be undecided? There is no choice.
“If Biden can put together….uh… a comprehensive… thought” – Blondie, you might wanna work on that yourself, and you’re barely half his age. But the real kicker is, she seems to be buying into this nonsense narrative created by the orange blob who never strung together a coherent sentence during his erratic “presidency”… 🤦🏻♂️
The other woman wants to see if Trump can tone down the rhetoric???? It’s been 4 YEARS and he hasn’t yet.
It just shows she is a Fox News viewer . Watch Fox for 24hrs and you’d understand right away .
@first last but if he can do it for just one 2 hour debate then Trump has her vote! 😂😂😂😂
@Keith Willis You’re right. Our idea of toning it down and hers are miles apart, probably. She’s looking for any reason to justify it to herself.
My vote for Trump is simply a middle finger to:
*The dangerously slanted leftist media (CNN, MSNBC, WASHINGTON POST, NEW YORK TIMES, YAHOO, GUARDIAN, VOX, etc)
*Marxism disguised as a movement (BLM)
*Social media censorship
*Cancel culture
*Out of control political correctness and SJW snowflake nonsense
*Colin Kapernick, LeBron James, and other clueless woke athletes who are ruining sports today
*Antifa and pointless leftist rioting and violent protests
*Tearing down statues and banning the confederate flag
*Rich cosmopolitan whites and coastal liberal elitists who think they know better then everyone else
*Identity politics aka modern day racism and the race baiting leftists who see racism in everything imaginable
*Biology deniers who argue that 10+ genders exist
*The politicizing of Covid 19 and the lockdowns and mask hysteria that is destroying livelihoods everywhere
*The climate change hoax and crazy liberals saying the world will end in 12 years because of climate change
*Gun control loons trying to abolish the 2nd amendment
*The Russian Collusion hoax and the illegal spying on the Trump campaign
*The Deep State and swamp creatures who only care about power (Pelosi, Schumer, Comey, Clinton, Nadler, etc)
*Hunter Biden getting millions from his dads corrupt political connections overseas. (China, Ukraine, Russia)
*Defunding the police
I could go on and on. But the fact I don’t even know what the Democrats platform even is says plenty enough. All I hear from Democrats is “Orange Man Bad”. That just isn’t gonna cut it. Add to that, the fact that they nominated a candidate who is obviously in severe cognitive decline and I see Trump as the only option.
None of the voters were wearing masks even though she was… my bet goes to them going Trump.
Their lying, these white undecided voters support Donald dump they are embarrassed to admit in supporting dump they know they’ll be criticized if they support him on camera.
“might still vote for him cause of his policies?!” Trump has no policies! Dafaq?
@Christian 153 You’re about to find out just how wrong you are! Go watch the debate!
@Christian 153 Farmers have been interviewed. And they won’t be voting for Trump again!
@Christian 153 More lies – is that all you Trumpsters can do? Oh wait, yes, you do exactly what he does.
Joanne M I’ve talked to many. And yes they will be.
@Christian 153 We’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we?
Undecided? Where the Fudge have you been the last 4 years? If you are undecided at this point, all sharp objects should be removed from your home and you should be assigned a social worker and a private nurse to change your diapers and help you cross the street, because you are a big baby.
Hahaha. They lied as usual. Nobody is undecided. America needs an overhaul of our educational system. That’s the solution.
Their lying, these white undecided voters support Donald dump they are embarrassed to admit in supporting dump they know they’ll be criticized if they support him on camera.
?????? They don’t know about character at this point? C’mon.
Their lying, these white undecided voters support Donald dump they are embarrassed to admit in supporting dump they know they’ll be criticized if they support him on camera.
The swingers, just repeat what trump is tweeting. Thats not making sense.
Donald Trump asked if people could ingest disinfectant to cure themselves of Covid and said the warm weather would get rid of the virus.
Why are we talking about Joe making a gaffe?
Crippy Trump didn’t say “ingest disinfectant” he said INJECT it. Cadet Bunker Baby Bone Spurs said Covid-19 was a Democrat Hoax and so did Fox “news”.
I would say someone who is a 5×draft dodger, tax cheat, failure in covid-19 resulting in over 200,000+ deaths, calls our military suckers and losers, lied over 20,000 times and likes to grope women and cage children , I guess I’m concerned in what character your looking for. Biden/Harris🗽🇺🇸
4 years of Trump, these voters want someone with character, and they’re still undecided?
These people must not be paying attention to what’s happened. For the life of me, who would vote Trump and his goons back in the WH?🙄
True… which planet these people being living on??
Yup. Don’t even give these “undecided” voters the attention they crave.
Their lying, these white undecided voters support Donald dump they are embarrassed to admit in supporting dump they know they’ll be criticized if they support him on camera.
@SUPERAFRASIABI89 I think that is close to the mark. I guess they are undecided about having the majority of Americans laugh at them if they say Trump.
They are irrelevant at this point.
If you’re still undecided, then you’re mentally UNFIT, to vote. Period.
@Steve Fitts Total Russian Propaganda, nice try comrade!
@Steve Fitts you seem not fit to be a parent if that is what you really think ? We have enough idiots in America as it is please keep your DNA from proliferating ?
sad but most likely true LOL
Hvalpikk I totally agree- how can you not know after 4 friggin years! Dear God! Who are these people!
@Steve Fitts Q died on a toilet in Moscow. Go grieve, and STFU, because your nonsense is dead too.
I am tired of hearing that Trump is incompetent.
We already knew he was incompetent
he is a criminal……..
He’s not just a criminal white Jesus he is simply Putin’s puppet!!!!
We already know Trump’s character. Starts with liar, ends with coward.
…. and held together with spite
Don’t care. I’m not voting for somebody who’s selling our country to everybody willing to pay Trump’s price through his agents like Pompous, JRod, Latoya, Mnuchin The Magician, and Disbar Barr. Unlike Trump, Biden knows how to run an administration; an administration that functions to support and defend our democracy, and our fundamental freedoms. Trump and his people are an operation of the oligarchs of Russia. They are dictators. #DonTheCon
SORRY I FORGOT TOP ADD, FUCKHEADS
😝😝😝😏
Biden has eight years experience as VP, and did a decent a job. He’s qualified and competent to be president. Biden isn’t my dream ticket, but he’s far better than the abysmal and depraved abomination of a dumpster fire we have in the White House now. Biden comes across as the boring, monotone professor that you fall asleep to in class. But I’d rather have him as president and live my life in peace without him being in the news everyday, knowing that the country is in good hands, rather than the scandal of the week circus plaguing the current disadministration. I normally vote third party, but I can’t do that in 2024 if Trump has his way and there is no election then. Therefore, I am voting against Trump, which means voting for Biden; the first major presidential candidate I’m voting for.
@JW Skeptic Amen, sir!
@dave matthews yeah.
I do not believe for one minute that they’re undecided at this point, they’re just looking for attention…
True…they are trump voters acting like they are undecided
@Respect all rational beings nope
agreed. if there is a fence, you can’t sit on it. it’s made of kryptonite, a mile high and razor sharp.
Their lying, these white undecided voters support Donald dump they are embarrassed to admit in supporting dump they know they’ll be criticized if they support him on camera.
@Respect all rational beings Totally agreed, nailed it
Trump has more “senior moments” than anyone.
@orphan 200 did you notice that America is energy independent now because of Trump did you notice that he’s nominated three times for the Nobel Peace prize because he’s bringing peace to the middle East did you notice how he built hospitals and brought ships to New York and they never used them did you notice that he’s making the UN and the European countries pay their fair share did you notice that all the countries respect us now did you notice how the economy is doing no you didn’t because you don’t get your news because you watch MSNBC and CNN fake news so in other words if brains were Dynamite you wouldn’t have enough to blow your freaking nose.
@Leo Ortkras Nice parroting of Trump’s BS which does not equate to facts.
Stupid can’t keep up with his own lies.
I FEEL SO OLD!
RHETORICS? HOW ABOUT WRETCHING?
