The 2020 presidential debates are now complete. The elections are now only a few days away in this pivotal decision America will make. Education on the issues is critical for all to understand before making our decisions. In this light, the Right Wire Report participated in a citizens debate online from the Paltalk Democrat2020 chat room and the Right Wire Report chat room. There were three questions posed by the Republicans and three by the Democrats. Each side had two alternating attempts of two minutes per attempt for each question. Here are the audio-videos of the six questions posed (click here for a full six video playlist).
Question #1: Why do you think the mainstream media is “liberal”?
Note: A Democrat debater made an initial opening statement and was outside of the agreed debate rules.
Question #2: In Biden’s four decades of service as both Senator and Vice President, what are his accomplishments that have benefited the American people, and qualifies him to be a president?
Question #3: Assuming Trump wins…what specifically is he going to do about getting the economy going and with the ACA being eliminated by SCOTUS, how are Republicans going to handle pre-existing conditions?
Question #4: Why are Socialist/Marxist policies, endorsed by the Biden/Harris team, better for the average American than the Capitalist System?
Question #5: There is a polarization of the mask-wearing. Many argue it is their “right” to not wear a mask while stores exercise their right to refuse service to anyone (such as no shoes, no shirt, no service). Many argue the refusal is an assault on other’s health and is dangerous to the public at large. What would you do to stop the polarization of mask usage and do you think it was right for Trump to downplay and undermine the wearing of masks?
Note: A Democrat debater jumped the mic queue, was outside of the agreed debate rules.
Question #6: What data justifies the BLM/Antifa social justice riots and how have these riots improved life for minority communities?
So who won the debate? Please leave your comments below and tell us your thoughts. We want to thank all participants on both sides of the political aisle for their participation. Please come into the Right Wire Report chat room to join in the debate next time.

Excellent exercise in theory . Unfortunately, in practice there was no debate. There was not a single counter point offered to the RWR stated points. There was no defense of liberal bias media only deflection and statements that were not accurate . There was no defense of Biden’s stated accomplishments deconstructed and shown to be negative outcomes rather than positive ones , not one single counter point was made. No defense of his problem with segregationist leaning history , racial and bigoted statements for decades, Plagiarism and lies consistently ten women who accuse of sexual inappropriate behaviors, Banking .credit card friend in senate, Nafta , Pro China, wrong on all Foreign policy issues and on and on. There was denial of citations that show how pre -existing coverage and health care plans exist ( several) including Trump’s exec,.order .Ignoring that Senator Tillis legislation was blocked by Dems just 2 weeks ago that provided fed level mandate to cover pre existing. Debate on Marxist /Socialist economy vs Capitalism resulted in no evidence of grasp what Socialism is vs Capitalism has resulted in real terms for citizens where it was tried. Clinging to Nordic countries as a socialist model was successfully exposed as not accurate .The notion of “blended” was never backed up with facts. No point was made to support capitalism had negatively impacted the global citizen or American citizen. The mask debate was simply a lack of basic knowledge of what the scietific community actually has agreed on the issue ( citations were given) versus “feelings” and weaponizing covid politically. Straw man that Trump or Republicans tell people not to wear masks . No counter point was given to facts laid out by the RWR debater. And of course the question from their side on BLM was chosen just so they could call the person who debated it a racist! Again all strawman attacks no counter points were given to actual FBI stats which prove blacks are not suffering more “police brutality”. A strong defense was given about Antifa and BLM destroying billion in property , livelihoods and even violence couched under ” Brother and sisters have a right to be heard after being ignored so long.” When the issue of the frequency cops engage with Black citizens was pointed to , more blacks call police where black ob black violent crime is high -the racist cared was predictable played on RWR .debater. There was no counter point to how the violent protests has destroyed black communities will keep investment in commerce from coming back in * food desserts”, or the massive spikes in murder rates in black communities post riots and defund police movement. Sadly , No debate was given from the Dems. Please see citations .https://www.rightwirereport.com/debate2020-citations/
Well done for the RWR team for staging this debate in the most polarized emotionally charged political climate in US history as we face the most critical election in US history.
I feel that the Republican side presented the best data with valid sources and credible arguments on most points .
Republicans clearly won on security and the economy with the Dems in total defensive mode and unable to impress.
The Democrats did not convince me of the scientific justification for masks or the real benefits of ACA or why I should vote for Biden-Harris.
The Dems used appeals to emotion, attacks against Republicans in general rather than address the topics and failed to back up their claims in many cases.
The Republican arguments were overwhelmingly compelling on most points.
Proof again that conservatives are best at debate and with much greater civility too.
I look forward to another round…one day.
