Aren’t there rules of debating? It is of no value to me to hear one person shouting over the other so I can hear neither of them. Aren’t the debaters supposed to listen to the moderator? What a disappointment. If they can’t act presidential, could they at least act like adults!

Even through the din of the debate, President Trump’s message and creed were loud and clear: “Rules do not apply to me.”

Judge Judy must be called upon to moderate any future debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

I think Joe Biden missed a golden opportunity to distinguish himself as a person who respects the institutions of our nation. He should have pointed out that while he found President Trump to be a totally incompetent president and one who has deceived the American people, he did respect the office of the president and should have refrained from calling him a “clown” “and telling him to “shut up,” especially at a time when a lack of decorum among our political leaders has gotten much deserved attention.

At least close to home, Melania Trump’s anti-bullying campaign is an abject failure.

I saw 30 seconds of the presidential debate, almost by accident. I later texted with my older son, Jules, to see what he thought. His response was that if you are a Trump supporter, then President Trump won, and if you are a Biden supporter, then Joe Biden won, and by not watching, I won.
