Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

He runs from a FOX hosted debate? He must be scared shitless of that woman!

For serious. That's his cheer squad, guaranteed to try to help him. I thought she'd reject and he'd make a big deal out of it for the rest of the campaign. What a coward. Oh, Donnie. You shitbag.

That was exactly what I was expecting, too. But hey, Donny saved us ;-)

He did so poorly during the last one that his handlers are sure to keep him away from that debate stage at any cost, especially when it's so close to the election. They can't afford to have him say more dumb shit because they don't have gaffe-prone Joe Biden to grab soundbytes to play on repeat and the news will just report on Trump's nonsense.

Chickens naturally run from the fox

He's making up so much ground, he does so much better when he stfu or just says the things people expect him to say.

The more time he spends away from national cameras the better, that debate was brutal for him, it made even his followers have some doubts.

Well, it did reveal what kind of idiot he is, so this debate was extremely useful for the voters.
