Details: The debate will be 90 minutes long and have no commercial breaks. There will be no opening statements, and instead Wallace will dive right in with the first question to Trump. It will be divided into six 15-minute segments that Wallace has chosen. They are:
1) The Trump and Biden records;

4) the economy;
5) race and violence in cities;

After the debates a poll will be posted on who you think won this first debate. Have lots of fun, keep the commentary fresh as I'm sure we've all heard many of the same lines for months and enjoy the beginning of the end of this presidential election cycle. Just as a reminder, on October 7th there will be a Vice Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.

[Harvey Danger]

On one hand this is probably the first presidential debate I've seen where the moderator actually had a backbone and moderated. I have no complaints about him, especially compared with all the other spineless debate "moderators."

He's correctly calling them out for interruptions, Trump needs to be reigned in for his own optics' sake.

However, his phrasing of the questions is clearly slanted against Trump and designed to give softball questions to Joe. He's just automatically taking a Democratic version of every event from the economy to Charlottesville. He gets Joe halfway to the answer just by asking the question.

 

[NIA-DOA 2.0]

This is basically two old men grumpy because it is past their bedtime.

 

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

LOL did Biden say that we should give Brazil $20 billion dollars to save the rainforests holy shit

 

[Slimy Time]

"Thousands and Millions of jobs"...Joe, that's a massive different, which is it?

 

[Marchesa of the Vast]

I like how Chris just told Biden his own plan to make sure he could quote it and play off it.

 

[Sithis]

BILLIONS OF JOBS
in a country of less than 400 million
wut

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE]

I think it's clear Biden got wasted.

I just want to see a media fallout of this. Holy fuck.

 

[draggs]

Talking about what they're going to do for the next four years if they win is boring

Get back to yelling at each other over principles (kinda over principles)

 

[Fish-Eyed Fool]

The hurricanes are now Trump's fault.

Everything in the world is Trump's fault.

 

[The Wicked Mitch]

Imagine the shitshow if Biden didn't have his earpiece and Wallace debating on his behalf

Joe is programmed and his preprogrammed responses are activated by trigger words. What a disaster.

 

[Rekkington]

Holy fuck, Joe is speeding towards the ground right now. This is unprecedented.

 

[PumpkinSpiceBitchMeringue]

YES HE MENTIONED CHINA AND INDIA

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

"Make sure the environment is clean."

So.....what about your position of fracking, Biden?

 

[Hollywood Hitler]

15%

 

[Drain Todger]

Joe Biden is the kinda guy who would give himself a Dutch Oven and sigh with pleasure as he tugs one out to the smell of his own farts.

I think he's pissed off at Trump and is retaliating by making it easier for Biden.

 

[Toolbox]

Joes pseudoscience here is insane

 

[Kari Kamiya]

If we're only 15% of the world's problem, what about the rest of the 85%?

 

[RodgerDodger]

"If you elect me I will hold back the floods!!!"

Where did we hear this before?
