Leave it to Weird Al to make that debate worth watching. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/un9x-DjTMT0/maxresdefault.jpg "WE'RE ALL DOOMED - Trump vs. Biden ft. "Weird Al" Yankovic") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un9x-DjTMT0) ---

The Democratic Party is therapist party. I fixed that. For you. ---

The first debate was very hard to watch. There is no insight to be gained from other debates, surely. ---

I like Canadian columnist Andrew Coyne. He’s knowledgeable and usually right. He was not a fan of Trump’s message. 15% of Canadians would vote for Trump (some like his foreign policy or favour a Conservative judiciary), but he is pretty unpopular here. > **[Opinion: Trump’s debate conduct was mortifying.

Going back to the issue of debates, I think Biden has his excuse to get out of the next round if he wants one. The Trump entourage cannot be trusted to wear masks and behave in a manner that is consistent with protecting public safety. It’s as simple as that.
