How did they snag that account? I'm always wondering about how companies/groups can do that.

Biden confirms reports from earlier today.

SNIPPY-SNIP

Stuff like this is what makes Joe so endearing. Hillary just doesn't have the same level of charisma.

What? You didn't find "POKEMON GO to the polls" endearing?

I still maintain that was hilarious

[Ferguson97]

Let's go Joe!

[Ferguson97]

I really like Joe's tie

Biden's making a mistake supporting Obamacare. It almost cost him the primary, and it could cost him votes from Bernie Bros (and Warren voters) in the general.

Public option is more popular

[Ferguson97]

Chris Wallace is a Jim Lehrer tier moderator wow

[Ferguson97]

"Keep yappin', man!"

lol I love Joe

[Ferguson97]

I think the consensus will be that neither of them won, which means Trump lost because he needs to gain Biden voters and he isn't doing that

[Ferguson97]

Uh oh, Trump just mentioned Pennsylvania and Michigan. You folks currently in hysterics think Trump is gurranteed to flip them now?

I think you're being a bit disingenuous (and I think neither of them are winning the debate).

"The debates aren't going well."

"OH ARE YOU SAYING TRUMP WILL WIN HAWAII? HUH? YOU DOOMER?"

Like you're sort of the opposite, where nothing is ever bad news

[Ferguson97]

Wallace is worse than Jim Lehrer

[Ferguson97]

Also, "Biden will win" and "Biden isn't doing well in the debates" are not incompatible statements.

This debate is a train wreck, but it also won't change anything. Biden will win in a landslide. It's not incompatible.

[Ferguson97]

"Crime bill Biden won’t say law and order!"

[Ferguson97]

Biden gets a C+ but Trump gets a F-

[Ferguson97]

Lmao this is effing nuts. Trump is like a ten year old kid talking sh-t in a COD lobby somehow found his way to a presidential debate.

"And I got with everybody's moms.  Everybody's.  Tremendous moms."

"Big, beautiful moms."

[Ferguson97]

How hard is it to condemn white supremacists? That's not a hard question.

He doesn't want to alienate the base

[Ferguson97]

"Are you talking about Hunter?"

"I am talking about by son Beau."

"... I don't know Beau."

I guess even Trump isn't dumb enough to touch that topic lmao

[Ferguson97]

Jesus Christ, Trump urging his supports to "watch the polls" get... ugly

And now he's blatantly said, again, he won't "abide by" the results of the mail in ballots

[Ferguson97]

If I had told you five years ago that during the first televised Presidential Election debate that one of the candidates would call the other candidate a clown, a liar, the worst president ever and tell him to "shut up, man"..... and he would have been viewed as the "mature" candidate in that debate...  would you have believed me?

5 years ago? I would’ve assumed Trump somehow won in ‘16, so it’s not that crazy.
