It is so maddening that they clutch their pearls about Jan 6th, while trying to pretend like “Summer of Love” and Russiagate were somehow ok.

[BigM]

Imagine two presidential candidates sitting down and having an intelligent and civilized debate like this. It should happen, but it won't.

[WhosPloxity]

Ben saying he thinks the guard rails will hold and Trump isn’t a reasonable person, but is still voting for him is actually ludicrous.

I checked 3 times to make sure I didn’t put the playback speed to 1.5.

If Jan6 was a person, it would be Juessie Smoley.

The classic Trump paradox..."I don't take him seriously, but I do take him literally"

[TheJDUBMedia]

The whole world watched a sequence of events play out on TV over 2 months- we watched Trump tell the proud boys to stand by, he told them to march down to the capital- Ben is from the Alena Habba school of lawyers

[ZackGisme]

Ben is doing such mental gymnastics. It’s clear he doesn’t believe at all in MAGAs election nonsense but is such a partisan he can’t openly disavow them.

I think the whole country needs to watch how these guys were able to sit down and have a rational discussion on how to examine both side of this and any issues that deeply concern this nation, and let each guy talk without losing their minds.

[Dieselman.]

So guys can’t go to the capital? - Shane’s dad.

Jacob chansley a man guilty of nothing more than misdemeanor trespass was given 6 years in prison. A man that wasn’t there was convicted of some trumped up charge and was given a 18 year sentence.

Maybe this individual can explain why they would not verify the mail in ballots. Against the voter registration database for verification of the mail in ballots.

[WickedHumor]

No strawman, bad faith, character assassinations. Are they even really debating?

[yankee]

I love it when two people who disagree with one another can still sit and have a reasonable conversation without shouting and name calling. One of the things that we’re missing in todays times.

[mattmatthews]

Most politicians make promises that they don't keep

[Butters-_]

Is Ben stating on one hand that Trump isn’t a rational person and isn’t capable of understanding facts, and on the other hand he’s fit to be president? How’s that possible

[letsgobrandoniagree]

lol, YouTube still pushing the “context” box.

[yourbigheadcousin]

There's nothing Trumpists can't and wont rationalize

[ChefClary]

Any person with the only name of “Destiny” should not be taken seriously.
