You know CNN practiced with Joe for this show!

Letting Jake Tapper moderate is like having reps from Israel and Palestine debate, with the moderator being Ben Shapiro.

[missreserved]

Whos in charge of holding hands and walking him on and off stage??? FJB

[mikusoxlongius]

Trump vs Biden and 2 "moderators"...

[solotron]

I wonder how many times Biden will say, "Oh, shut up, man! That's a lotta malarkey. You know I got nothin'."

[walterdyson]

Get your peanuts and popcorn ready for the FJB comedy show.

This ain't a debate, it's a Trump witch-hunt

[drowningpooralice]

It's hilarious they think cutting his mic will help. Joe will still be able to hear him. He's gonna get rattled. There's no way Biden won't have an earpiece. Trump is a wildcard. He's a big mouth, but one thing he's not is in need of assistance.

I can’t afford anything underneath Biden’s economy

[smitty]

Nothing "MODERATE" about Jake "the slanderer" Tapout - The whole lamestream media against the people's choice

[Spuzzmacher]

I hope this goes as badly as possible so we can all quit pretending our electoral system is anything other than a broken unfunny joke at this point.

[jagusiff]

no debate, life was better 4 yrs ago, across the board! even in the midst of Covid19, that tells you all you need to know

[ronaldredmond]

This debate is such a joke. RFK JR should be there. It's going to be a 3 ring circus with 2 clowns not discussing the REAL issues in this country. Wake up America vote Independent!!! RFK JR 2024

[ianritta]

They both agreed not to let Kennedy debate, because they know he'd win. It's shameful how blatantly the establishment tries to control who people vote for.

[robertcramer]

spare us please what a disgusting spectacle, don't watch it!

[tomkjr]

Isn't it strange how CBS aired an interview with Trump but had no statements or footage of Biden?

[Thebob]

Biden needs this. Trump does not. And could Biden go on Newsmax and debate Trump? No.

[dennisspurgeon]

What about sharks vs. electrocution? Or snakes?

[peterfishman]

$525 billion to Ukraine and $750 billion to illegals and $700 to Maui people that’s your president America..

Moderator to Trump: 'What's the square root of 487628?!'
Moderator to Biden: 'What's you favourite ice cream?'
