Hard to figure out who to watch first -
Trump - who will be crazed
Biden - who will keep it together, thoughtful, and in command.

I hope that there is a huge gaff for the Tā€¦like nuts. Not a stretch.

Who are you watching first??

of courseā€¦start with Joe

I guess Iā€™m just going Biden because Iā€™d like to learn something new

Heā€™s holding it together, and making sense. And he speaks in complete sentences.

Even if he is low-key, and a slight stumblerā€¦but he is sounding Presidential

Sigh.

Oh, you may learn something new from Trump. It may not be anything based in reality, thoughā€¦

Hereā€™s a compare and contrastā€¦

And hereā€™s Mr. Smarta$$ with his vindictive, bullying waysā€¦Not music to Suburban Womenā€™s ears for sure.

Earlier, Trump ducked a question about COVID-19, saying he did not remember when he last tested negative. He also defended holding a White House event with Amy Coney Barrett, after which numerous attendees tested positive.

Trump bristled as Guthrie continued to press him on his response to the virus.

ā€œI knew youā€™d be doing this,ā€ he said. ā€œI know you very well.ā€

About 60 voters, all wearing masks, attended the event at the PĆ©rez Art Museum in Miami.

The dueling events set up a ratings battle, as Trump hopes to tout the enthusiasm behind his campaign.

At a rally in Greenville, N.C., earlier in the day, Trump called the event a ā€œcon job.ā€

ā€œYou know, Iā€™m being set up tonight,ā€ he said. ā€œIā€™m doing this town hall with ā€˜Concast,ā€™ because itā€™s a con jobā€¦ Itā€™s NBC, the worst.ā€
