  • Trump is as low as can be. It's America's tragedy to have him as a president
  • @Phrozenmusic
    Idc who's side ur on bringing up ur family in a presidential debate is just a low blow.
  • @KP-hd1vv
    Biden NEVER brought Trump’s family into this. And that’s saying A LOT
  • his son was dreading his past coming and tarnishing his dads image. The fact his dad look directly in the camera and said “I’m proud of my son” was the brightest part of that debate
  • @keiraann3550
    The fact that Trump would even speak Beau’s name, who is Biden’s DEAD son, is despicable. And then to mention Hunter and his drug use is just an added layer. Appalling.
  • @Catsongpub1
    That arrogant face looking at a father who has lost his son and is so proud of him.... heartbreaking.
  • Never a fan of Biden but the fact he acknowledged his sons problem and still loved him through all the headaches and worries. This made me start thinking a lil diff about him
  • @mfspittin
    You think Trump wouldn't alienate all the people in the Mid-west who have suffered through the opioid epidemic.
  • @ice319
    When Biden talked about his son, that hit me in a sore spot. I shed a tear for this man, because that was the real Biden.
  • @AdamTait-hy2qh
    Trump blew it. He lost. He acted like a petulant child who cannot follow basic instructions. No discipline. He was having a meltdown by the end and looked exhausted. Biden was smiling.
  • @chantelf7381
    You wanna talk about giving kids jobs. Listen Mr Cheeto
  • @cleverkins
    MIC control for those who can't control themselves. This debate was disgraceful and not helpful at all.
  • @arieyaflynn7982
    So many people in this country have family members struggling with substance abuse. To use that as an insult to a candidate shows you how out of touch he is.
  • @peacelove6117
    I’m proud of joe Biden for defending his son, because he owned up to his son having issues with drug abuse 👏👏 I’m glad that he was able to over come his drug problem!!!
  • @Tia-bd3ps
    Pretty low blow to attack someone's SON during your presidential debate. Let's talk about your entitled little children then, Trump.
  • @CegeRoles
    As someone who's coming up on his fifth year of sobriety, Biden talking about his son's recovery really struck a chord with me. Too many people see addiction as a moral failure, something that never happens to "good people". But it can happen to anyone; it could be your sibling, your parent, your best friend. They might be fighting a battle inside that you know nothing about. Joe's not perfect. Nobody is. But he's a good man.

    Overcoming addictions is no small feat, it is winning an internal war. We should be supportive to all those suffering from addictions.
