plutherusThe moderator will not be fact checking.
NBC has an entire crew on it. :) (But, they never showed up. Maybe they'll have a fact-checked version up later?)
"You won't see a lot of live fact checking from Biden, unless something is particularly egregious." Hah!
Why would he say what he's gonna do in his second term? He still hasn't come up with an agenda for his first term. (At least, none that he'll admit to)
First question, Supreme Court
What about the nominee? Should you continue, and what will change?
Trump: We won and we have the senate. She's super qualified and respected by everybody.
Her qualifications? A professor from her law school said she was the best student ever. (Seriously, he said that.)
Biden: Quoted McConnell, "The American people have a right..." but didn't give him credit.
100 million people have pre-existing conditions, and will lose them.
donald says no there aren't, so they don't matter. Reiterates that they *can* put her on the court, so therefore they will. Still hasn't said why they should. Reiterates that ACA is bad, so it's good that they'll be getting rid of it.
Donald says biden wants socialist health care, no private plans (that isn't true)
Biden already points out 200,000 dead, it would be worse without health care.
Donald again claims he did a great job, it's the democrats fault he didn't do anything about covid. He wanted to, but they said no.
Trump on roe v wade: "It's not on the ballot. You don't know that. you don't know what's on the ballot. You don't know her view. You don't know."
You mean, other than all her public statements?
Chris: You haven't you come up with a replacement for obamacare... "Yes I have! Yes I have!"
Wallace shuts him up, tells him he's wrong. Trump is upset at being called out.
