Hey, Chris here — Who do you think will win the first debate?
@Jeffrey Payne That comment shows how stupid you are. Trump 2020.
Biden is incapable of winning anything. Its the reason they keep him in the basement, out of the public eye, and ordered their pet media too not ask him any questions that will leave no doubt that his mind is shot. If Biden walks out naked, farts, and then leaves, the biased media will declare him the winner. It’s not that he won but rather the media has set the bar so low for Joe that just showing up is enough for his brainwashed hateful follower to support him for their first win in 4 years. They’ll all suffer the consequences after and argue that Joe is a total failure due to what Trump left him.
Hey Chris maybe you could help out some Democrat ran states. Maybe you should try realty.
McFarland praises Trump for receiving third Nobel Peace Prize nomination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArNZ4XaXL8M YOU WONT SEE THIS ON FAKE “NEWS CNN”
@DTRAX33 True
We get it… you don’t like Trump
@Drunk_Emma that’s because most people with a college education are being indoctrinated without even knowing it. You should really look at the educational system and what they have been teaching about politics over the last 30 years and see the difference between college graduates from previous generations and how they understand the real world better than today’s graduates.
@Scooter Blalock . . . . . . .That is what I’m wondering also, what kind of drugs is Senile Biden going to be on tonight for the Presidential Debate, will he be Coked up or Crack, or some other upper or will it just be Adderall or some other similar type drug. The whole world knows that Joe Biden is going to be doped up for the Presidential Debates, which is why the Senile Biden Campaign REFUSES to take a drug test, President Trump offered to do the same but Senile Joe Biden’s Handlers REFUSE to do any type of drug test!!!! I wonder WHY???? hahahahahahahahahha
@Scooter Blalock I moved bro…
I thought these libs hated racism..I wounder why the vote for Joe Hidin

To examine both candidates we should ask ourselves which of them has a tendency towards uniting the American people. At a time when hatred and division are so rife and so intense, no government can function, whoever is elected. For this reason, in the end, the only thing that will determine the fate of America is the level of connection and solidarity among people. If Americans cannot find a way to bridge the chasms that have been carved among them, the country will collapse into a violent mayhem. The next president’s first, if not only task, will be to patch up the fractions of American society and heal the hatred that’s been brewing everywhere.
If this debates finally has that push up contest Biden keeps teasing us with, we are all winners.
i don’t want to see his lopsided eggdome explode on tv, sorry
@Adam Kendall Biden is cleaning trump’s clock right now in the debate racist.

Biden requested a break every half hour…the dude can’t even standup for more than 30min. You think he can do pushups? lmfao@YOU
Joe is wanting breaks, now this would completely ruin it being a debate he needs his coaches 🤣🤣🤣 what a jackass
@Bubba Nelson he has a wife and 2 kids. Plus he’s an American so your points are both very invalid.

@ed taiwo Fact.
@Dr. Jamal Washington That’s why they are next to the medical clinic.
@Liam Porter . . . . . . . That is what I’m wondering also, what kind of drugs is Senile Biden going to be on tonight for the Presidential Debate, will he be Coked up or Crack, or some other upper or will it just be Adderall or some other similar type drug.

I wonder WHY???? hahahahahahahahahha
@Dr. Jamal Washington I am guessing Adrenalin or adrenochrome. I love the way the medical clinic is right next door. Hence the request for “toilet breaks”. He won’t be able to stand up for a full 90 minutes without falling over.
Still running your unintelligent “inject detergents” b.s. unbelievable.

“I’m Joe Biden….and I’m Joe Biden’s husband.”
@Jodie Banks . . . . . . That is what I’m wondering also, what kind of drugs is Senile Biden going to be on tonight for the Presidential Debate, will he be Coked up or Crack, or some other upper or will it just be Adderall or some other similar type drug.

@Lars Jones Joe Biden just released his 2019 tax returns. Last year he released 20 years of his tax returns. Now what?
You screwed it up, It’s “I’m Joe Biden the husband of Joe Biden”.
@Jordan Right, that’s what the link was in my post – to Joe Biden’s tax returns. He has nothing to hide. The ‘now what’ is for Trump.
Vote blue…🤷
Is Joe inviting Antifa and Blm to be in his corner?
No, the Biden supporters are too busy looting and burning other people’s property.
Is trump inviting the kkk? How his buddy kim, or Vlad?
@Rachel Ash still zero evidence… but Biden and Antifa we have video evidence he supports… see the difference yet child?
bird man The KKK was started by the Democrats.
@Christian 153 Don’t try to confuse a soy boy with facts. You will make him cry.
“if they want to be the party of the poor, they have to keep you poor.” that’s it. they are not concerned about the plight of black americans living in poverty, crime, and subpar education. in fact, it is the reason why they promote policies at the local level that are designed to keep far too many black folks in dire straits. it is why they support rioting and looting in predominantly black areas. “racism is ginned up by people who want “POWER” and who benefit by keeping black americans ignorant, marginalized and dependent.” the last thing BLM, THE FAKE NEWS MEDIAS, JESSIE JACKSON, AL SHARPTON, OBAMA, and THE DEMOCRATS want are self reliant, independent, black americans. The democrats own the education system, the media, Hollywood, Big Tech and administrative government. If there is systematic racism or oppression, it’s at the feet of democrats. Lifelong democrat politicians who never did anything to improve the lives of their constituents, only to pander with the race card every time election season rolls around should be a wake up call for all to see the true hypocrisy/racism that exists within the democrat party.
@Creepy Uncle Joe It’s so true that when it happened even Trump went on record making comments about it.
@Floyd Fluffnstuf search up joe Biden 1988 lmao they made fun of him a lot back then oh yeah all that you just mentioned is bs
@Floyd Fluffnstuf watch this lmfao https://youtu.be/mCJMF7mflGE
Well said, Sir! TRUMP 2020! MAGA!
I am Donald Trump and I forgot to pay my taxes👍
Biden now is refusing to be checked for an ear piece how unbelievably pathetic.
If he has to encounter swap life tonight He has to stoop to the bottom feeders level.
@Floyd Fluffnstuf Trump can only say bigger better more than anywhere in the world its like eat sleep rave repeat with him. Never on heard him say a 3 syllable word!!!!!!
@Mystery Man Trump can’t even read without help. He mispronounces words & can’t speak in sentences without a teleprompter & even then screws up.
@Poby your avoiding the truth, of which the statement said. Why does Joe need an earpiece?
@TripleAstyle1 A exactly. Biden and his supporters know Joe can’t even read a teleprompter lol Their only hope is cheating.
Just say no to Burning , Looting and Murdering .
MY NAME IS TRUMP AND I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DENOUNCE WHITE SUPREMACY TODAY,BUT I DIDN’T. PEOPLE STILL CALL ME A PATRIOT LMFAO😎😎😎😎
Biden’s foreign policy includes making sure the Germans never attack Pearl Harbor again!
Trump actually said that! Not Biden. Everyone is so used to Trump gaffs that no one even hears them any more.
@SleepingDog its actually sad he said that.
I AM TRUMP AND I AM LOSING BADLY IN THE DEBATE👍👍

I wonder if he’s going to bring up the rumours about Beau Biden’s use of the “N” word while he was in the Army?
Democrats asked for new rules, they want potty breaks every 15 minutes.
Hell nah, strap a nappy on Biden and send him out. Deal with the messy nappy after the debate.
Debate prediction: Drumpf will lie at least 10 times.
Lol sleepy joe can’t stand up for 90 minutes. How did this skeleton even get this far? Haha.
Rachel Ash aftermath prediction- snowflakes will claim trump lied 10 times but will come out with 10 lies of their own to try prove him wrong.
saying he has been on the senate for 180 years and just not even noticing the mistake is a gaffe of epic proportions, not something expected from a future prez.
Never forget how CNN got caught interfering with the elections and gave Hillary Clinton the debate questions in 2016.
The voter fraud with ballots has already started l. What is this dude talking about
