Through one failure in Twitter sarcasm, this Fox News contributor inadvertently nailed down the entirely of the TV event. It was crazy uncle versus Mister Rogers. There are crazy uncles everywhere, Fox News teems with them, but there’s only one Mister Rogers.

Even Savannah tossed around the "crazy uncle" theme.......

It literally makes me sick to see that after all that has happened Trump still has plenty of supporters. I wonder what it would take for people to open their eyes. Also the Republicans despite they're abhorrent behavior and lack of interest in helping people effected by this pandemic seem to be holding their own in the senate races that are up for grabs. I really don't get it. This should be a slam dunk all around. Democrats should have the White House and control the Senate and the House in 2021. In a sane world they would. But I worry we are not living in a sane world at all. It's a Mad World - "Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow"

Trump doesn't like the subjects to be discussed during the debate Thursday. The topics are Fighting COVID-19, American Families, Race in America, Climate Change, National Security and Leadership. Apparently he wants more focus on foreign policy, the long standing central focus of the last debate. Except this isn't the actual last debate since Trump opted out of the 2nd debate. So some flexibility ought to be exercised. Although foreign policy according to Trump might be a bit amusing to unpack. He's such a whiny baby.

Yeah, the topics are fine. Even if they were going to discuss foreign policy Biden is very knowledgeable and experienced in that area and would blow Trump out of the water. I thought Biden's best response at the townhall was his answer on foreign policy where a person asked if Trump should get credit for there being more peace around the world.

I think Trump thinks foreign policy means talking about Hunter Biden.
