This is what I have been saying all morning. Trump stated “sure”.

The “debate” was just one more way the left planned to trash Trump. They started with CV19, and monitored everything Trump said. The “interview” with woodward was a setup. The numbers were artificially inflated so as to be blamed on Trump. The riots were organized specifically so as to continue up to the election and provoke Trump into doing something they could get him on. The wheeler/tear gas affair was contrived, so as to be blamed on Trump. The fires were allowed to burn so they could be blamed on “climate change” and Trump.

wallace works for the left and was there to get Trump. biden had a list of the talking points, every one of which was a “get Trump” point.

They are obsessed with getting Trump. We have to make that vote count as big as possible so as to rub it in their faces. Get that popular vote up!

This transcript shows Biden offering the name "Proud Boys" before Trump said his dubious like "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by."

No other source of a transcript that I can find has Biden saying "Proud Boys" at all.

My first thought was, “Pretty sure ‘militia’ is in the Constitution, Chris...”. That loaded question bugged me because Chris was intentionally trying to tie militias to WS groups (whoever they are - bc Chris couldn’t come up with any names).

Are we pretending now that the “Trump refuses to denounce White Supremacy” talking point wasn’t planned and issued well in advance of last night’s debate?

I’m sure there are already T-shirts and fully produced TV spots at Biden campaign headquarters.

I stated on another thread that the media is posting outrageous lies about Trump to help Biden use\repeat them in the debates. Then Trump has to deny them and looks bad to uninformed voters.

If Proud Boys is a white supremacist group, why does it have some Black members, at least one Black spokesman, etc? That does not make any sense-if so, then Antifa a black supremacist group-it has a large number of White members, visible at every peaceful riot of theirs...

Trump blew the answer plain and simple. Why? I dunno. Horrible question of course...but to be expected.

WALLACE: “Then do it, sir.” BIDEN: “Do it, say it.”

Lol, what a tag team. And what is Wallace doing inserting himself again in the debate.

Trump has been set up with this "Proud Boys" nonsense.

Here's the video clip of that part of the debate.

https://www.c-span.org/debates/ starting at time 1:05:27.

Wallace asks if Trump would be willing to tell White Supremist "that they need to stand down..." (time stamp 1:05:44 of the above video.)

Trump then asks for a name, and Biden clearly says "White Suprem...Proud Boys. Proud Boys." (time stamp 1:06:11.)

It is at that point that Trump says "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by."

So Trump was asked specifically to condemn Proud Boys by Biden. Trump did not come up with that name on his own.

The Donald missed a great opportunity during the debate when this whole thing came up about him supporting white supremacists. He should have said, “Joe, if I love them so much why did the head of the KKK endorse you?”

Discusting gop idiots are all falling for the ACM’s lies on the proud boys. You know Biden lost by the amount of spin going on.

This crap came up during the Senate Judiciary Committee today. Instead of rightfully questioning Comey.. the leftards brought up this bogus BS. Drama Queen Booker was one of the worst.

Question I have is: Assuming there are White supremacist groups out there, what violent acts have they been doing? I read plenty about Antifa and BLM but don’t recall any stories about White supremacists. Sounds like a boogeyman concocted by the DNC marketing dept.

Did you notice how Biden routinely looked straight into the camera and "talked" directly to viewers, with his "Aw shucks, here's the deal" rhetoric? That had to come straight from his handlers.

Meanwhile, Trump didn't do himself any favors by constantly interrupting and muttering while Wallace was asking the questions or Biden was blathering on. It made him look petty and childish, as if he was just trying to bully them into silence. There were time when he should have just let Biden ramble on and hang himself.

Frankly, this "debate" was a debacle. It looked like two schoolboys fussing over a Sponge Bob cartoon. And Chris Wallace was ineffective in managing the playground.

Ditto. I saw a small portion of Biden talking this morning in Cleveland. Biden brought up that the president referred to troops as losers. What ticks me off is that this was a lie and debunked almost immediately when it came out a couple weeks ago. The dims whole ideology is based on lies and deceit. You can’t have a strong relationship with one other person if you are always lying, so how can this work with a government of an entire country? It doesn’t work.

I only watched for 30 minutes and then turned my TV off and went to bed.
