Combative Trump And Measured Biden At Dueling Town Halls | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

    1. Proof that Joe Biden is the most racist candidate for president in US history:
      1. He signed the 1994 criminal justice bill, incarcerating thousands of innocent black people.
      2. He was a segregationist, as Kamala Harris pointed out.
      3. He opposed busing, as Kamala Harris pointed out.
      4. He said he didn’t want his kids to grow up in a racial jungle, with other races around.
      5. He said the black community is not diverse, which is overt racism.
      6. One of his mentors and best friends was the KKK leader Robert Byrd, who he promoted even late in life.
      7. He said black kids aren’t as smart as whites.
      8. He said, “You ain’t black” to black people thinking of voting for another candidate.
      9. Biden is now on record wanting to defund charter schools. Charter schools are a way for Black and Latino parents to get a better education for their children that Democratic-controlled cities cannot provide in the public schools.

      On what universe is this person allowed to run for President in 2020? And what kind of a person would support this?

      In just three years, President Trump activated a fiscal policy that created the highest employment for Black Americans in 50 years. Trump also got a criminal justice reform act passed. Biden, with an African American president, passed none. Trump is not the racist. Biden’s record shows he is, and anyone who supports him has racism flowing through their veins.

    2. MSNBC are SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL, ETHICAL progressive news, check out David Pakman or Young Turks.

    2. @Eva P They aren’t sell outs, they’re just not who you want them to be. If you know who they are, you can more appropriately filter what you get from them. Form follow function (Frank Lloyd Wright).

  1. There are so called undecided voters who do not know who to vote for, how somebody can not make up her/his mind after 4 years of watching all this?

    1. @Jestin Morse How can people not have made their minds after watching 47 years of Trump?
      The guy was a sleazebag.

  2. Another debate would be pointless. If you don’t have the measure of these men by now, you never will. Time for choosing.

    1. Exactly- I do NOT want another debate- Trump will just embarrass himself and the American people if given another chance to interrupt and act uncouth.

  3. Interesting. Trump’s claimed that he’s got “the best you know what” as he points to his head and that he’s got one of the best memories the world has ever seen..
    Yet he cant remember if he was tested 2 weeks ago, the day of the debate. K. Cool.

  4. Don’t be that gal on election night saying I should’ve gone to vote, vote early, in person, Google your early voting place
    Did you see how slouched over loser is?

    1. Vote as those your vote is the only one that matters…because it is!

      Republicans, it’s ok to vote for Biden…just tell your friends and family you voted Trump, no one needs to know.

    2. YES AND I THINK THAT MR.TRUMP IS A VERY SICK PERSON. MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH COMBINE WITH SELF-ESTEEM OF GREATNESS. IS A DANGEROUS THING FOR ALL AMERICANS FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. AMEN.MARGERE BEST GRANNY

  5. A man or woman who can not take criticism, or own up to their mistakes is a man or woman who will never grow. One can only have true growth when they’re willing to admit defeat and/or accept blame, even when it isn’t his or her fault.

    1. @Bobby Rosario it’s a personality disorder actually. And regardless of personality disorders people still have choices. In the most important issue that applies to this situation is responsibility and accountability that come along with leadership roles. He has undoubtedly the biggest most important leadership role in this country and with leadership and privilege comes responsibility and accountability. Bottom line. Personality disorders are not legitimate legal or moral defenses against criminal and genrally bad behavior. I’m not asking you to judge him. That’s a relevant to me. All it takes for evil to Prevail in this world is for good men to do nothing. In America it is past time four good men and women to stand up and speak out and do everything within their power to create positive change to stand up for the disenfranchised into speak out for the voiceless. It’s also past time for people to call things as they are and for what they are. It is not the time to make excuses, or to passively apologize for abhorrent behaviors from our leaders. I’m not worried about attempting to judge Donald Trump. It isn’t my place nor my responsibility to judge him. It’s my calling and my responsibility to stand up and speak out against evil any and every time I see it and most importantly to do all within manpower to rectify it.

    3. @AlienPrincess ATX you still don’t get it. It is hard to understand at first because we’re programmed to think a curtain way and have opinions, which won’t matter before god. The human mind works like that, where we allow our opinions to become our judgement, so Once again I say to you, I won’t make any judgment. It is clear to me that is all you want to do. May god bless you and may peace be upon you. Goodnight 🙏🏼🙏🏼.

    4. @Bobby Rosario Perhaps you still don’t get my points. Again, this isn’t about judgement as I previously explained. It is about accountability and the responsibility that comes with being a leader. Those are all biblical age old prinicples. The fact is that as the president he is held to a higher standard for many reasons. My intention is not to judge him as a person, I’m just stating truth. I dont have to judge him. He will be judged by one far higher than I. I wish you health and safety. Ha e a good night as well.

    1. @Kevin Maguire You’re first sentence made no sense at all, but I get the idea. Let me ask you my friend, would he fight for you? He had that choice back in 1969 and went on to receive how many? 5 bogus deferments. What has every military leader who has worked for him said about him? Not good things. You better think again about just who your laying your life down for. You people are absolute mindless lemmings that simply DO NOT have the capability to think for yourselves. No matter you’re going to lose “bigly” on the 3rd. No need for me to educate you anymore. Just like every other Trumper, you’re a waste of my time.

    2. @Don S end liberal homosexual rule. Every Democrat municipality in America is governed by homosexuals though they only make 10 percent of the population.

    3. @Dolores Reynolds

      I missed the memo where all other politicians tell the truth and we can rely on their words. Yes, Trump lies more than others, but not a single politician tells the truth. The question, or dilemma, we face is choosing someone who lies more than others or someone who panders to literally every demographic stating his policies will give them this, that, and the kitchen sink; and don’t worry, others will be taxes their fair share of the free goods the government gives away. Demagogues become tyrants; ask yourself which one is the demagogue.

    2. “The rhetoric of today’s right wing Republicans are taking us down a dangerous path to a country controlled by big business, fundamentalist religion, antigovernmental libertarians. A place with a weak central government, no safety net and no regulation. A place most Americans don’t want.” Claire Conner.

    1. And that is? History is history?
      Well that would explain banning books from history, removing statues.
      Things will repeat themselfs if you remove history.

      Probally why democrats use the exact same approuch as in 2016 and wel see 4 more years of Trump.

    2. @supernumery Er take a chill pill Democrat party activist yer sure gonna need one when ‘ The Donald’ is re-elected in November ! And then EVERYONE will be waiting for you Demos to accept the results of the election ?

  6. “excess mortality”. He talks about dead Americans like they’re miscellaneous line items on his expense report. This man is dead inside. Can you imagine the tweets if Obama were President and this many Americans died of COVID19? Trump was roasting Obama’s handling of the swine flu back then, and it only killed a handful of Americans. I think the Biden campaign needs to resurrect the many contradictory, and ironic tweets and interview that this egotistical maniac has on the record. For example, for a guy who demanded transparency from the Obama admin, he’s provided none:

    no tax returns
    no medical records
    no school transcripts
    NDA’s for every lawsuit he settled
    no transcripts of discussions with dictators

    What are you hiding Donnie? Scared of those subpoenas that are waiting for you in the SDNY?

    1. @tzipporah batami He will receive respect when he deserves it.

      Those who deserve respect , don’t say these words in mid March on their handling of coronavirus: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

    2. @tzipporah batami He does NOT deserve respect. He diddled with Putin who pulled strings, putting him in office among other things. Hard to respect a mythomaniac.

    3. MSNBC are SELL OUTS!! NBC (MSNBC parent company) decided to give in and air Trump’s townhall DURING Biden’s, and MSNBC decided to air Trump’s INSTEAD of Biden’s!!! Who cares about democracy. If you want REAL, ETHICAL progressive news, check out David Pakman or Young Turks.

  7. “He’s been telling people to wear masks ”

    🤔 No he hasn’t. He calls masks weak and claim they’re political props.

  8. He literally never answers questions. He just says a whole lot of nothing and his supporters get confused and think he said something amazing.

    2. @Eva P NBC claimed they didn’t do it for the money but for the fairness 🙄😒 If they wanted to do it out of “fairness ” They could have had trump in at a different time and/or day. If they really wanted to be fair. Im not at all shocked though…… money talks and in the end that’s what most mainstream media ( and I hate to use that word ) is about….. the money.

    3. @Eva P the young Turks? Did I read that wrong? TYT is beyond pathetic. At least MSNPC and CNN are good actors (i guess)

      Chunky yogurt rapes horses btw.

      But “kidding” aside, they are the most pathetic “left wing” channel on YT. How Jimmy Dore ever worked with them is beyond me.

  9. “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,” the retired Marine general has told friends, CNN has learned.
