  1. No way do I want anymore Trump policies that put us on this inflation path. Every GOP President in recent history has tanked our economy. A Trump win will send it to depths we have never seen.

  2. I’m sure that there are a number of US active duty service men (and women?) who are wondering just where the heck they are! Harris’ claimed that none of them are in war zones since she and Biden pulled them out of Afghanistan.
    Maybe they have been discharged and are now in the inactive reserves? The background noise is not explosives or gun fire! Maybe just civilian automobile engines backfiring? .

  3. The debates are rigged by the media. They will never treat Donald Trump fairly so why participate in their little money-making scheme? 99% of the media hates Trump more than they love the country, I don’t believe anything I read anywhere anymore.

    ABC says the debate was totally fair and on the up and up… why would anyone believe anything ABC claims anymore? They will lie to your face.

  4. I don’t need to see the debate. I’ve been to the grocery store, the gas station, paid electric bills, insurance, etc for the last 7 years. I know the difference and YOU do too.
    The debate is over.
