This has got to be the most anticipated political debate in the history of this country.
So, what should we be watching for tonight?
One thing we all must remember is the energy it takes to be the commander in chief of this nation at a time like this. We are in the midst of a pandemic and a social uprising from far left-wing anarchists who mask themselves as social justice warriors.
This country needs a fighter. Trump is a fighter.
Joe Biden is no doubt a better politician.
Biden knows how to say the right things, how to pander; he’s better at showing empathy, and he’s "nicer" to the news media as well as his political opponents
Arguably, he’s also less divisive.
The problem is Joe Biden is also an empty box, one with no real principles.
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who will likely have to step in at some point during a Biden administration is morally vacant.
Defining Biden and Harris are the fact they both are standard issue politicians only interested in one thing, and one thing only — what’s best for them.
Joe Biden couldn’t care less about China destroying our country.
Both he and his son Hunter have proven that ad nauseum.
And while we're at it, let’s be honest, China is likely our biggest threat today.
The nation that purportedly created the coronavirus, and the resultant pandemic ruining 2020 for the U.S. and the rest of the globe, the country surreptitiously doing everything in its power to destroy the U.S. and its standing as leader of the free world garner's limp reactions from Biden.
Translation? Joe really couldn’t care less.
Donald Trump is by most people’s standards, a horrible politician.
He’s brazen, even at times insulting. He often lacks the soft touch needed from a public servant. Yet, Trump is a born and bred fighter. Thus, he's ready to do battle with anyone and everyone that doesn’t see this country the way he and his millions of followers see it.
This explains why our nation is thus so enflamed.
Most leaders would pander and coddle groups like ANTIFA and BLM as they destroy our cities. Most leaders would listen with kind, empathetic eyes as they push their totally nonsensical narrative telling Blacks they’re born victims.
Remember Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats kneeling before BLM on Capitol Hill?
Recall Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, marching with BLM in Utah?
Those represent some of the most embarrassing images I’ve ever witnessed.
There are reflective of the types of political games Trump doesn’t and will not play.
So tonight, while you’re watching this debate, think about what kind of leader you want.
Do you want a political party on power that kneels before Marxists who hate this country
Or, do you want someone who sends in the National Guard to drag "nimrods" back into their mom’s basement?
I’ll be hosting the debate tonight at 8:30 eastern on Newsmax TV!
