    You guys? Longer than “we”
    should have? You act like you didn’t vote for Biden too.

    Or that Biden’s cognitive decline the last 4 years should somehow be blamed on democrats.

    Pretty bad on camera? Compared to DJT? Looked at any of Harris' recent appearances or just watching edited supercuts? I challenge the naysayers here to watch her recent speeches to the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority convention, the American Federation of Teachers conference or the Atlanta rally. Yes, actually watch. You might just get a glimpse of what people are enthused about.

    And as far as "declined" candidates go. get real. DJT has absolutely no business running for office again. Too old, too mentally unstable, too toxic, too stale, too corrupt, too WEIRD.

    The shame of it is, Repubs had multiple chances the last 3+ years to turn the corner and move away from this guy. Excuse the idiom, but your chickens really have come home to roost. and not in a good way for the GOP.

    Lol... some illegals... all illegals. You're covering for her because of my slight exaggeration? Like that changes, her use of Christmas to suit her political agenda to keep these illegals here in the U.S.A… She thinks that everyone has the legal right to invade the United States, and that really the point.

    She's fooling Christians like you, Tilly, and you don't even know it. All the illegals have to go back and yes, we can still celebrate Christmas if these kids go home to their country of origin.

    You know what she really stands for, Tilly? Child trafficking/smuggling. All she has to do is use a word that religious people like you understand (Christmas), and she owns your point of view on that one issue.

    One more thing... I do NOT need her approval nor her permissing to say Marry Christmas.

    Trump is a showman, he’ll do fine in a debate with all the lies and exaggerations.

    But he has to stay as far away from the WH as possible. The way he treats America’s allies is disgusting. Thanks to Biden’s diplomacy skills he convinced several allies to facilitate the release of the American prisoners.

    Trump would’ve traded Ukraine and the security of America’s allies to get the deal done with Putin.

    What I would like to see is a no-moderator, no questions, just let the two candidates go at each other.

    Each gets 3 minutes to say what ever they want (with their opponents mic turned off), then it flips to the other person where they get 3 minutes, and back and forth.

    Moderators can inject bias into the debate by which questions they ask, and how they frame those questions.

    Essentially, that is how Trump operated in the last debate. Never tried to answer a single question asked of him, just went into his pre-determined lies and attacks.

    Most politicians are just going to pivot from the actual question…they all get to their talking points even when it has nothing to do with a mods question.
    All of them do it. It’s only frustrating if you expect them to be honest. They won’t do it.

    I didn't vote for Biden. (I abstained from a potus vote.) And i dont blame anyone for his health, but there have been some things come out that make it seem they have been keeping it under wraps, but even then my issue is that they are now trying to play the high road game.

    Truth is no party has any high road anymore. So when anyone claims it, I find it laughable.

    Not in the least. I won't watch a minute of it. I'm sure the highlights will be here and I can check youtube after.

    It's just a message board conversation. I just find it laughable that after bailing on a candidate ...out of fear...that the democrats are now trying to play the fear card.

    Kamala’s team has been on fire recently and is now calling him out on it. Your move, Donald.

    And THIS is why I left the Republican Party.
    The misuse of scripture for their agenda.
    Have an opinion Rick, but don't claim to base it on Jesus or the Scriptures. Your opinion is yours, but it has no base in Scripture.

    None.

    You should review the parable Jesus told of the Good Samaritan. Review the historical context of the people who did not help an injured Jewish man and why a Samaritan (who was a hated person to a Jew) was willing to lend aid anyway. A river divided them but a bigger theological "border" also divided them.

    And before tou claim that these were "legal" immigrants, you have no basis for that. Jesus NEVER one time, EVER used any such criteria.

    Borders are man made inventions and to attribute any teaching about them to God is theological false and purely made up nonsense.

    The theme is the same throughout scripture...Unless you think the these are not verses from scripture.

    So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against...those who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 3:5)

    When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. (Leviticus 19:33-34)
    -------
    When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. (Leviticus 19:9-10)
    ------
    He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing. And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt. (Deuteronomy 10:18-19)
    ------

    Again. Rich to claim fear when her party just canned their guy out of fear.

    They all suck.

    For the record, it wasn't fear of losing .... it was fear of a 2nd Trump term. Many of us were very VERY fearful of what would happen to our country if Trump were to be allowed back into the White House.

    Not sorry that the Dems care about such things, while Pubs only care about "owning the Libs."

    Yep. A second Trump presidency would be the worst possible thing that could happen to this country. Two totally different situations. Is Trump worried he can’t compete in a fair environment against a candidate who doesn’t have severe mental decline and has to stack everything in his favor before agreeing to a debate? Sure seems that way.

    Then they kicked ole diamond joe to the curb and replaced him with the chief lying sack that the media are feverishly trying to scrub all her crazy far left policies from existence.
    He's still in the white house.

    Yep, being afraid to debate a black woman vs. being afraid of the end of democracy and the start of an authoritarian fascist regime.

    I think we still have the high road.

    Look, no argument from me on the Trump part, but its pretty shallow to call out others for exactly what you just did. React in fear (Not "you" in the literal sense )
