Trump destroys the Republicans' chance of winning | Richard Schiff 

The GOP is DEAD to me. I will NEVER vote for GOP.

Let's just not elect people who have NO MORAL COMPASS !! STOP IT !

VOTE Joe for the People. Brilliant numbers by any metric, across the board. These people who aren’t CERTAIN need to take a lane or grow a spine.

The Democrats have to pick up only 3 seats to flip the House! They are going to do that easily. They are expected to pick up around 20 seats! And if we hold I’m in the Senate then we can really do some good. Like adding 2 or even 4 Supreme Court seats.

I agree with you totally.I hope everyone gets behind him and worry about his age later. This is our democracy we are talking about

Need President Biden to stay in and we need to back him. If something happens to Biden, we already have a VP, so stop fretting. He's perfectly fine and capable and not dropping out. I'm Riden with Biden and a Vote for Joe is a Vote for Roe.

It’s not the age of one but the criminality of the other.

I’m voting blue

#NOCONVICTEDCRIMINALS2024 🇺🇸

Thank you sir for speaking for the Americans. Most of us are with Ukraine and Europe.

Corporate greed run rampant. Politicians not solving the problems of the country. Lobbyists pressure. Common man forgotten.

We need Democrats to win big in the senate and the house

how about you just elect Joe Biben, get Trump out and convict him for his crimes and worry about wether Mr Biden can keep doing his job later!

California is NOT a mess. I live here, do you?

This is to dangerous 😢we need to vote 💙💙 if we want to save our country and our democracy.

Biden is a statesman . I pray he declares early. Stephanopoulos was horrible.

He’s not backing down to diaper don

Now is not the time to switch horses in the middle of fording a wild river.

VOTE B.L.U.E.! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 for the sake of your future and you'r kids future !!!!

Pay attention to what Alan Lichtman says. We win with Biden or we will lose. We need to see the big picture & play the long game. Biden 2024

I'd vote for a ham sandwich over Trump, so I'll vote a old Biden for sure, plus Biden as a good team and that's what Im really voting for.

Stop it, pull up your socks and get to work, Biden and blue up and down the ballot, the voters have always not agreed with you all in the bubble.

😢America only one choice Freedom and democracy or a fascist dictator ❗🤷🏼🤦🏼❤🇺🇸

i support president biden

I believe it is a stunning act of patriotism for President Biden to run again at his age. He is running because he is the best candidate to beat Trump. All he has to do is get elected and sworn in.

VOTE 🗳 BLUE ALL THE WAY!!

I stand beside Biden 100%💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Stay with Biden. He's the incumbent, and he's the BEST!!! I'm with Biden, and he can win.

As an American, if you need motivation to get out and vote, read Project 2025. That will scare you to vote blue 💙

Coming at you from the USA: We have a great plan for this sort of circumstance, elect Joe Biden. Biden is fine, and Harris as his VP backup is an excellent choice. It's that pompous, orange, demented Bozo we need to be concerned about.

What happened after Truman and LBJ stepped aside? Exactly. Debates don't win elections, a party united behind an incumbent does (among other things)

Grow a backbone and stand up straight! Fight like your life depends on it. Call out the crazies and their lies. My god, encourage people to vote blue all the way down the ballot . We’re finally at the year where we can do something about the gridlock we’ve been in and the house and senate for the last 4 years. It was 1 night, Biden has a very competent administration behind him.

I am 88 and I am sharp I only get confused when I am very tired and haven't had enough sleep

I'm with Biden. The problem of having Trump in the White House is even WORSE.

I'm voting blue !!

Never Let A Snake Bite You Twice!!

If you add the population of New York state, Illinois and California you have 70 million people. They are represented by 6 senators, all Democrats. If you add the population of Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Alaska you have 5 million people. They are represented by 8 senators, all Republicans. So 5 million people get to impose their will over 70 million people You can call that system of governance anything you want, but democratic is not really the description that comes to mind.

COVID19 was never the problem, although it didn't help. The fact that Trump and so many other extreme right-wing demagogues got elected over the past decade or so -- before the pandemic -- shows that there is a common denominator at work that has made people in democracies all over the world feel angry. The demagogues blame it on immigrants and "the elites", but the actual cause is the financial-economic strategy that Ronald Reagan introduced in 1981 and that quickly became the universal default not only for the right, but sadly also for the left. It's called neoliberalism and its core policies include privatization, deregulation and taxes breaks paid for by endless austerity measures. The idea was to free the corporations and private enterprises and leave everything to them, because the rising economic tide would float all boats. Unfortunately, that was mostly the freedom to exploit, resulting in enormous income inequality. This is what actually makes life so hard for people. Eventually, it resulted in the political instability we see today. So, if the Democrats and other center-left parties around the world keep pushing those neoliberal policies, sooner or later the Trumps of the world will win. The alternative? Regulate the corporations and tax the rich.

our vote is the greatest weapon we have. vote, vote early, and vote often. Local elections are just as important as Presidential, this is how you build a wall against fascism

The US is in a pretty good position as a result of Biden's leadership, during nearly impossible circumstances. I think he may still be the best option for defeating Trump & running the country. I believe that he would actually have stepped down if a more promising candidate had stepped forward. Continuing to lead is perhaps the Best thing he can do for our country. The debate showed more issues with Trump than with Biden and the debate circumstances are not indicative of the same skill set for running the country. We are buying into Trump's lies to say he won the debate - the truth is they both botched the debate, but only Biden is honest enough to admit mistakes - we should not be wallowing in several lost train of thought comments of a 90 minute debate! It is not news to voters that Biden is old - I would think that most voters realize that both candidates are beyond average life expectancy. There can be no comparison in the extreme differences in these candidates but a major consideration is that Biden has an entire trustworthy administration that can work seamlessly even if something happens to Biden. Trump's former administration is in jail, or cooking up project 2025! Any administration Trump puts together will likely be entirely corrupt as it will first require that candidates adhere to the election lie. While Biden poses no major concern, Trump is obviously disastrous! We need to make the case to all voters that Democrats are our only hope this year, and ensure democrats have majorities in congress. Don't despair - everyone needs to take action!

Biden is still going to win. That’s how bad trump is. People just don’t care what Biden looks or sounds like. The debate didn’t change the vast majority’s mind. Debates aren’t predictive of anything anyway. In 2016 Hillary Clinton won all 3 debates pretty easily.

Trump is destroying the Republican Party 😂

It is a stunning act of patriotism for Joe Biden to sacrifice a quiet retirement for the miserable mess that is our democracy so he can save what is still good And the primary voters of both parties bypassed multiple younger candidates in favor of these two octogenarians, it's not the parties's choice. They have to work with the candidates who choose to run.

Allan Lichtman: -3- He said he would seek retribution. Why was that not in the headlines? Why was that not the greatest concern from the debate rather than all the focus on Joe Biden?

I can’t understand why anyone wants to vote for an orange Mussolini. It’s bewildering.

Why did CNN allow EvilTrump to lie Throught out this questionable debate?

President Biden has accomplished an incredible amount during his term. He is not a performer. He gets the job done. The debate was Trump lying over 200 times - which went unchecked. Why aren't you talking about that?

I’m still voting for President Biden! President Biden may be old but he’s not a liar, grifter, narcissistic person who can’t admit defeat! Anyone is better than Sr Liesalot!

The whole voting for an individual thing is the problem. No one in the media ever talks about who comes with that individual.

Thanks. Your guest’s despair is depressing but provides me at least with the comfort that my thoughts are shared by others. Total lunacy!

How quickly it's been forgotten that "past it, old Joe" has run a very efficient, competent and effective administration for the last three years or more.

Joe doesn't have such an ego. He'll step down when He needs to. Joe is old. Not demented like Trump. Please consider all he's done .

Biden all the way 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Excellent interview. Brilliant end to the convo "If we lose, we lose, but lets join the fight". Too right! We _are_ foolish creatures, we only act when a catastrophe arises (climate crisis, Putins wholesale invasion in 2022) & we're slow to empathise with others, thinking mostly about self-preservation rather than how we can help our fellow citizens & through them, help ourselves too. American-style presidential democracy is too vulnerable to a demigod like Trump. It's weakened further with money & laws on the effective legalisation of bribary (e.g. Citizens United 2010) & the new 'above-the-law' ruling of the farce that is the Trumpist Supreme Court (making the president a king). But we don't have to let our democracies weaken &/or die, we can still fight for them, strengthen them & defend them! I hope you guys can get your act together - love from Australia.

Gavin Newsom, as current California Governor, needs only to point out that as merely the latest in a long line of governors he is not the cause nor at the root of various problems that can be cited within the State, but he can proudly say that his State’s broad voting base decided that he was a worthy candidate to help bring about improvements going forward.

Keep the project 25 in front to show what Trump plans on doing to everyone in this country mothers fathers sons daughters babies grandparents disability veterans teachers working class jobs poor homeless retired

We are literally trying to save America from Trump.I never imagined the situation would be this dire.

You mentioned many reasons including trauma as a cause for the state of politics and forgot the big one, 40 years of neoliberalism and inequality

The US constitution was written without adequately taking into account the danger of monolithic political parties. This became evident very early on - as pointed out by Washington in his farewell address to Congress.

United States of Corporations

I'M PART OF the Republican Realists that Trump Thinks he's tossed from the Party AND can take for granted...WHICH SOUNDS a lot like a lesson from my youth...You can't eat your cake and have it too....

Show your support for President Biden. Send him $1 and let people telling him to quit know he's not going anywhere.

The UK just showed you what to do, we the people have the power to stop Trump in his tracks. Vote for Joe 💙💙💙

Biden stands and as 2020 will win

If President Biden has to step down Trump will be older than Biden part way through his term, so Trump should be stopped from running for this exact same reason…

I love Biden and I think I share this. He's brilliant.

Nothing 'makes sense' to sociopathics. These poor souls don't know... When to laugh When music is good When to cry When to take a principled stand against evil. ... They deserve pity. But, NEVER put a sociopath in command.

How loyal of you. President Biden is doing a great job. I will take President Biden before a dictator! We going all Congress,Senate and the White House. I think you are dumb for not having a little faith ( mustard seed) Vote Blue all😮

Won’t win this election without Joe💙💙💙

We get what we ask for! If America votes for Trump then they deserve Trump - that's a democracy - and yes, itis all a game - sometimes we have to lose and learn the hard way what goes up comes down visa versa.

He's been doing that for the last 2 years. It's just recently gotten worse, to the point that many rally goers aren't going!! Many in his base are turning away!! 😂😢😂😮

Showbiz people know better. A bad audition is not the end of the world. Did our esteemed speaker/guest quit after his first bad audition?

This guest needs to do better,stand with Biden for the win He is blind to the obvious Hope he straighten up his act Vote blue ,all the way for all 3 branches. Thanks

This is shocking - what you intimate will happen if Trump gets in again.

We DO have a succession planning problem -- note how Richard Schiff talks of candidates "emerging". We wouldn't field a sports team this way -- just waiting to see if any good players show up!! We must start planning and preparing years ahead of time!!

We had more choices. People voted in the primaries. These two are who we chose

Blue Wave 2024 💙💙💙💙💙

We the Democratic voters support Joe Biden. I gave him my vote and I support him with donations. This is us or them and I will give it all I got. GO BIDEN!

We've made it not worth being the President.

What is patriotism? Richard “Toby” answer so on point. The soul searching and narrative poignant. 🐺

Do you have an original thoughts other than regurgitating media talking points

I was just about to say "has anyone told you you look like Richard Schiff", then I relized it is Richard Schiff. Anyway bless us with your wisdom Toby Ziegler.

These 9 sad democrats that want Biden to step down should get behind him and stop helping Trump and the republican party.

I can’t help it. All I hear is Odin 😂

Vote blue.

Don't change horses midstream.

Wow what a man !!🎉

What a wise man Mr Schiff is - there was a lot of him in Toby Ziegler!

We need a fourth branch of government in the US which would be based on truth and trust by picking representatives at a community level. A redesign of our democratic algorithm is necessary.. Doom-busting.

When a strong cold disables you,. your too old.

Voting blue to avoid Project 2025!!!

Our two party system has served us well throughout our history. Americans are far more traditional than Europeans - we vote "for the man" not for an esoteric theory. Our obsessions with openness and fairness (quote unquote) has piled on more burdens to anyone crazy enough to declare. The primary system gives us worse and worse candidates. Despite all the smoke-filled conventions, they gave us FDR, JFK, Eisenhower and forced FDR to take Truman whereas primaries gave us Dukakis, McGovern, Trump, Biden and Carter. Things were actually better when candidates were selected by folks who could find Ukraine on a map, knew what an amendment was and the three branches of government. A local station on election asks folks in line: "Can you name your rep?" (no) "Your two senators?" (Nope) "the Veep?" (nope) Bill of RIghts (get serious) then..."Do you think you're qualified to vote for President? ' Yes-sirree!!! LOL

They bring up a good question, why is this country still ran by a bunch of geriatric corporate puppets

lolololol "Gavin Newsom would have reamed Donald Trump in a debate." lolololololol

Get Arnold Schwarzenegger take him out!😂

🎉vote blue

We have an insurance policy here, the right to bear arms. If Trump wins and he doesn't leave the White House at the end of his term we will have to go in there and drag him out ourselves. I highly doubt our military would do anything but help in a situation where a sociopath is trying to suspend elections and impose a dictatorship.

So much hand wringing "is there enough time". Jeez. In the UK, Sunak announced a national election on May 22, and they held it already on July 4th.

Right before the final curtain, the human species goes insane.

How do we get you to stop putting the highlight at the start? I've learnt to skip it but it's so f'ing moronic to spoil the conclusion at the f'ing start. Who can I directly call to berate?
