5 things to watch in final 2020 presidential debate

during the 2 minutes of time the other candidate is entitled to at the start of each 15-minute segment. The other 10 minutes or so of each section will be free-range.

"If you watched the first debate, easy to see that those rules were not followed even though they'd agreed to it," Frank Fahrenkopf, who co-chairs the Commission on Presidential Debates, said on MSNBC."So, all the commission has done is not create a new rule, we didn't touch the rules, all we did was put in a situation where if someone is interrupting, they won't be allowed to interrupt.

"I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense," Trump said. Clinton shot back,"That's horrifying. That is not the way our democracy works." Those concerns became moot after Trump won. But he's now making similar statements, again raising concerns, and this time he's the incumbent, with all the powers that come with the office. And Trump's beenwhite supremacists and far-right extremist groups who say they're spoiling for a fight in the event of a disputed election.

The debate will be one of the last chances for Biden to press Trump on the issue and for the president to explain his position, which could either defuse tensions or turn up the heat and provoke more conflict and potentially even violence.

This article is replete with false and misleading statements. You would think a professional reporter and an NBC editor would be able to catch such 'errors'. Some of the 'allegations' are now proven to be true. Is there an update or correction coming?

I find it odd that a guy who’s been in DC for 47 years, (& has extensive debate experience in order to keep getting re-elected) needs 4 days to prep for a position he’s been seeking for decades... The guy isn’t well.

I'm not convinced TraitorTrump is showing up. We'll have to see. TrumpIsLosing
