God I hope this goes well for Biden. Trump voters will vote for him no matter what he says or does, so I feel like Biden has more to lose. Although, ultimately, I doubt there are too many swing voters.
More than one person has commented to me that it seems that Biden is showing signs of neurological deficits. I haven't noticed this, but tonight will certainly be closely watched. Not sure how many people might change their minds because of it, but I have to think it could affect at least some voters if they believe they are seeing evidence of this.
I'm scared. Biden has more to lose because he is ahead yet Trump has set the bar really low for Biden. I'll be happy with a gaffe-free, steady performance.
I completely agree and I'm scared, too. If he can just *not* say anything stupid, I'll be satisfied. I also agree with the above poster re. the irony that Biden is be painted as mentally deficient when Trump himself can't form an articulate sentence. I also think Trump is preempting a bad performance by saying that he isn't preparing because "he has a country to run." That way when he bombs, he can make his sheep followers think it's because he's busily advocating and governing based on the interests and needs of the citizenry. He's so transparent. I can't believe how many people support him.

Biden will tell the truth. Trump will lie. Choose which one you want for President.
Chris Wallace has no control over this debate and is letting Trump act like a schoolyard bully. Biden needs to stop letting him interrupt and responding directly to his vicious outbursts.

On the other hand, there's Trump who is a walking neurological deficit...
It's amazing that he's managed to spin it so Biden looks like the deficient one.
Reagan had Alzheimers for much of his presidency and I would even take him over Trump!!!
Neurological deficit = People who watch and BELIEVE FOX NEWS

I can't bear to watch
Happy that Biden is keeping his cool so far! Trump is acting like a 3 year old and moderator is clearly fed up with him.

Wallace is horrible. I had to leave - it was torture to watch.
They seriously need to give the moderators the ability to turn off mics.
They need to do this on zoom and give the moderator the ability to mute the candidates!
@Anonymous# Or as I just saw someone suggest on Twitter, a pack of wolves that the moderator can sic on whoever is talking out of turn...
90 minutes ago I would have said that was OTT, but now I could be convinced.
Biden shouldn't agree to anymore debates. There is nothing to be gained by debating Trump.
