Trump definitely botched a softball/easiest question of the night with the white supremacy thing, not sure how he messed that one up so badly.
But i do think it's funny how many have run with the idea that he's never condemned white supremacy and he supports it and is galvanizing the white supremacists for votes!!!
Just another example of people have lost their minds.
Agree how he fucked that one up
But biden fucked up the filibuster/stacking the court question

Where does this 3rd party stand on the following issues:
- For/against 2a
- Pro-life / Pro-choice
- Illegal immigration amnesty
- Private healthcare / Universal healthcare
- Living wage / low or no min wage
- Quantity and offerings of social services
- Higher / lower government regulations
Understand the each of the current 2 parties have between a 70% - 85% agreement rate between their constituents and party stance. So as you work through where this 3rd party fits, I think you'll see that there's really not a place where they can carve strong position. In many cases, the stance on one issue aligns with the stance on another.
We don’t know because they aren’t allowed to participate.
Hell if it wasn’t for being classified republican or Democrat we wouldn’t know how the two current candidates stand on those issues (at least from watching that debacle last night)
I’d also be surprised if society gives a a rats ass about multiple issues. Sadly it appears people care more about bashing those who disagree with them on a point than they are with finding a common ground/communicating and discussing all of the items facing this country.
The hope would be that getting a fresh voice/party could bring people together, perhaps fiscal responsibility while still working towards effective social programming. Life isn’t black and white, toeing the line because your a republican or Democrat is not beneficial to the American people.

The Commission on Presidential Debates announces that they will propose changes to the format and rules of the next two debates.
Biden camp responds they are grateful for any way the commission can control the ability of both individuals on stage to answer questions without interruptions.
Trump camp announces that the Commission on Presidential Debates is only doing this because "their guy got pummeled last night" and they shouldn't be "moving the goalposts."
The Commission on Presidential Debates is a non-profit organization currently headed by former Republican National Committee chairman Frank Fahrenkopf.

I really feel like Trump would walk off stage the first time that happened because it won't be "fair".

What’s confusing to me is.. isn’t the moderator a Fox News person? Which is pro trump? But he’s making it seem like it’s him vs the 2.

He'd likely never agree to it, and if so, that's fine then no debate.
The commission or whoever should just make that mandatory for both candidates and non-negotiable. It legit solves all those specific problems from that last debate.

None of it ever makes sense.
Yes, Chris Wallace is a Fox News anchor. But, Fox News didn't suck up to Trump enough this year so he's sort of off them (unless they say something nice).
