Tillis is responsible for the most economically destructive pieces of Biden economic legislation, the misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act" which should have been called the "Inflation Creation Act." The Democrats were able to pass that with a simple majority because Tillis and other RINOs helped Biden earlier pass his "Ingrastructure" Bill which contained a whole lot of spending that had nothing to do with infrastructure, by a 60+ vote margin. The Senate has one shot a year to pass a spending bill that does not require a fillibuster proof majority. The only reason the Democrats had that availible to pass the "Inflation Reduction Act" was that thats to Tillis and other RINOs, they had not had to use it to pass the "Infrastructure" bill.

Of course, Tillis has been a total Biden Republican when it somes to spending, debt, and taxes. We badly need to replace him in the next primary. Tillis is completely unacceptable.

RUmor has it that someone who was forced to resign from the county GOP executive committee for openly campaigning for the Democrat nominee for sheriff in 2022 is contemplating a run for sheriff in 2026, probably as a Republican. Would he be a viable candidate with such a history of political opportunism?

Was this all a set up by Biden's puppet masters like Obama? Biden was given a debate demand to make to Trump that very oddly included this very early debate. Never in the modern history of presidential debates has one been held before the national party conventions. That is odd - very, very odd. Was the whole idea to get Biden to crash and burn before the convention so he could be replaced? This is the latest chapter this year of the "Democrat" Party acting VERY undemocraticly. It all started with the party hierarchy refusing to let rival Democrats like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and others run on many primary ballots, including North Carolina and changing the first primary from New Hampshire to South Carolina to rig it for Biden. This is an attack on democracy by the misnamed Democrat Party.

The problem with biased liberal debate moderators predates Trump by decades, and has been a concern of conservatives long before Trump. The idea is a FAIR debate, and having two moderators, one chosen by each side would accomplish that no matter who is running. With your TDS, your tunnel vision focuses just on Trump, but this has been a much larger and older problem. The important thing is to fix it so debates are fair to both candidates.

Actually the MAGA cry seems to be: everyone hates me, and it isn't fair. At some point it just gets old.

I guess Bolshevik Bob hasn't received his talking points yet on which side he is supposed to take on this issue.

I see very little news about this in other publications. My feeling is that the general public is not aware of this debacle. I checked with WITN but no reply. This failed system started in the late 80s when school consolidation was the coming thing. We have proven that to be a failure. Why are we continuing with this failed system? Change the method. Change the results.

A bait and switch by the Democrats would be a real assault on democracy. I wouldn't put it past them, but I do not think it will go over with voters.

Are the Biden operatives and his media cheerleaders going to tell us that the old and feeble Joe we saw last night was a "cheap fake" from CNN? The real "cheap fake" is named Joe Biden. I have little doubt that CNN gave Biden the questions, but even with that advantage, he couldn't compete with Trump.

Bobbie, many conservatives want to improve the fairness and objectivity of presidential debates, which has been badly needed for a long time. That is why the RNC cut its involvment with the Presidential Debate Commission last year, before even knowing who the nominee would be. Left wing "journalists" should not have a monopoly on control of presidential debates. Yeah, Trump kicked Biden's ass, but the issue going forward is lets establish a level playing field for future presidential debates. Tapper and Bash could have been more blatant in skewing questions than they were, and the back that their bias and the network's bias was made so public probably stopped them from doing more than they did.

What is really needed for future debates is to let each candidate choose one moderator. Among other things, if a moderator got out of hand with such an arrangement, it would be clear to voters which candidate was to blame for them.
