1. So who's fault is it that

Republicans have no platform, no covid plan, no policy proposals except destroy the safety net, kill the ACA, keep women subservient to men, cut taxes for the rich, and keep blacks and immigrants down?

Who's fault is it Trump can't answer question from liberals?

And should only agree to a debate if mics are cut for not following debate rules. Of course trump won't agree to this.

5. I think he said just that during his town hall, on Thursday. At least about the test.

At least that's my recall.

And DEFINITELY, hold to the mic-cut for interruptions. Actually, they should be cut for the entire response. Then if the response goes over the 2 minute allowance, give a 10 second warning and then cut that mic, too.

But, of course I know better. It's the fumble fingered, rage tweeting spelling.

Just when you think they are finally gone, they pop up again like a slow-motion game of Whack-a-Mole. Go away, no one cares what you think and they aren't going to buy anymore of your videos or fake awards.

15. rethugs: it isn't right that someone who spent Christmas with the Obamas should moderate a debate

Also rethugs: it's absolutely fine for the president to have his daughter and son-in-law with no government experience in any of the fields overseen by government be senior advisors to the white house and shape all the policies that affect the lives of every American.
