honestly, I gain a lot of liking to Biden for his love toward his son. Attacking on another person's family is not political, that is a personal attack, and I am honestly expecting Biden to go off on Trump, but he actually kept it at and dealt with it.

Why was it a disaster? I thought that it was very revealing. You get what you vote for folks...

America is a literal laughing stock/embarrassment. I'm not even an American and I'm disappointed. What's more disappointing is that some of these comments here are a mirror image of this debate. The whole world is probably in disbelief by what they just saw.

They need to shut off his microphone when it's not his turn to speak. If they won't do that, then cancel the next two debates. It does Americans no good to get more of the same.

The people of USA need SOS a Law that required the Presidents Candidates to:

Phycological and psychiatric tests

Disclosure of their taxes before beginning the Rallies and Campaigns

Create a judicial Committee that have the power to process the President as any USA citizen, when he or she breaks the law. Nobody is above the law.

The candidate should have knowledge in the Law, Geography, . International Affairs, Diplomacy and how to Speak.

Try and be honest lol. Good work Joe. Easy opponent I know but a win is a win

This wasn't a Presidential debate; it was basically my 2 grandfathers (1 Caucasian and 1 Latino) arguing over the dinner table minus the turkey. And keep in mind this was the more Republican friendly debate since Chris Wallace is on FOX News which is essentially Trump's boot licking channel. If he struggled this much with Wallace, imagine how much he'll struggle with the moderators for the other 2 debates.

Basically health care, civil rights, Supreme Court, government integrity and stalling law is as at risk... watch by the 3rd debate only these issues will be somewhat covered... by now people have made up their minds...

Would prefer a different format; if no speech from guests then make balloons bigger so easy to read; we are not all 20 out here.

[Frenzy]

Last night Trump got hammered🔨, all by himself, and he didn't need any help from Joe... BYE-DON 2020 💙

Agree with all the comments on the thought bubbles. Pausing the video everytime one comes up, especially when two or three are connected, is really irritating.

[therakshasan]

This was just the 1st of 3 trains running rampant down a broken track . Trump might hold back a bit at the start of the second debate, but he will fall back into his tirate .

[nathanlungtau]

Long Live Trump...he suffered for America like an ambassador for Jesus Christ....im praying for Trump from far far away.

[braveinternetguy]

Take the stupid thought bubbles off... Christ

[ritchievernon]

When God was passing out manners Trump said oh he's passing out banners! So he went to his home looked at his wall and waited for something to appear! God looked on from afar shrugged his shoulders looked at Trump and said it is what it is!

[angelahall]

they just need to turn Donald Trump's mic off while somebody else is speaking because he's going to just stand there and run his mouth to try to control the narrative. when the argument is lost the loser turns to slander.

[sjay]

Trump over-talks everyone, and in America you have to give back as much as you get, otherwise a large percentage of America won't respect it, as childish as that is.

[wdq]

That's what you all get for VOTING a President like Trump lol. VOTE HIM OUT! hahaha

[neuma]

Does anyone know if Chris Wallace is a candidate of Democratic Party? Never mind. VOTE FOR TRUMP.

[Mana_Thief]

What is this stupid bubble popup thing?
