"The United States Constitution says, 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed'. Given that the Constitution provides the framework for the federal government, how do you reconcile your firearm agenda with the 10th amendment that states, 'The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people'?"
"Since it is a known fact that fatherless homes are a contributing factor for poverty, violence, drug use, and other systemic issues, how will you support States' efforts to address this and other fundamental issues in our communities?"
"Why can't a politician ever say, 'I don't know; I'll have to ask someone who understands that better than me'? Surely, you don't expect the nation to believe that you possess a depth of understanding in Asian politics, Middle Eastern politics, Latino politics, global economics, public health, military readiness, global environmental issues, etc. And, secondly, what is the airspeed of an unladen African swallow?"
Another beat me to response of your original comment, I was going to say "you're in the wrong country bud".Total US indebtedness is $26.6 trillion. FY 2019 spending was $4.4 trillion
You don't think it would make an impression if you said you would make every division of the government make do with 5% less as well as no annual increase - with that money devoted to debt retirement. Especially if you leveled with people and told them that all things being equal we would need to maintain that discipline for 121 years just to pay the current debt without accounting for new debt run up by deficit spending
I think most people can see that 'stop digging the hole' is job one, but they don't see a path toward that goal

If Biden suddenly says "Make America Great Again" then you'll know.If Biden reneges on the earpiece agreement, Trump's crew is entitled to hack into it and feed Biden stuff to say. That would make the debate worth watching.
Why so any questions based on political mud slinging. Why not press on the actual issues?
Have you noticed any single person, this election, actually caring about more mundane policy positions as opposed to hyperbole?
