Customer Reviews
Biden must step down
Thank you for having the integrity to honestly critique the debate. If Biden isn’t replaced by someone whose sell-by date hasn’t expired, I’m going to be a Republican. The mendacity that ushered in the Hyde Amendment and put up the least likable most qualified candidate in 2016 will lose my vote forever.
Grow a spine
The hand wringing and bed wetting over Joe Biden is nonsense. Some democrats always act like losers and then wonder why they lose.
Debate
Sitting there making excuses for biden about having a cold and “getting in his head” Biden is in cognitive free fall and not fit for office! These leftists with this narrative is why we are stuck with biden in the first place.
