This is why I have always considered Trump to be the first 3rd party President, being labeled a Republican made his candidacy and campaign easier to deal with. He is neither Democrat or modern day Republican, nor is he a politician.

I agree Oddball. He's not really embraced by either side.

The first two questions I'd like to see in the debate are asked of each of them.

1. Have you or anyone on your staff obtained the questions to be asked tonight.
2. Are you wearing any electronic communication device.

The former top manager to President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, Brad Parscale, was hospitalized Sunday after his wife reported that he was armed and threatening to harm himself, authorities said.

Parscale, 44, had multiple guns when police officers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, arrived at his home, police spokeswoman Sgt. DeAnna Greenlaw said in a statement.

Police took Parscale to a local hospital under the Baker Act, Greenlaw said. The mental health law allows for involuntary and voluntary admittance.

Parscale was replaced after Parscale said that millions of tickets had been sold for a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, earlier this month. But the event drew a far smaller crowd than anticipated.

teenagers coordinated to sign up for tickets that they never intended to use


And here is the video of Brad calmly talking to the police only to be tackled to the ground. That was not a suicidal man barricaded with firearms as the news reports have said. He was unarmed sitting on his front porch without a shirt on. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that he had a fight with his wife who happened to know just the right things to say to inflict the most damage.

And did anybody else notice that the alleged police report, his complete home address, and the body cam video were all instantly available online? Of course maybe he did have a breakdown and needs help, but to me this whole thing stinks.

OF COURSE all that was shown on FNC’s Special Report was his being tackled by the police. Other clearly anti-Trump reporting tonight by John Roberts too. Special Report getting closer to my blacklist.

While we are focusing on the insurgency of the BLM/Antifa taking over the Democratic party, the bigger story may end up being Trump gutting the Republican Party of swamp creatures.

A sad, false report.

All these reports of him being barricaded with multiple weapons threatening everyone?

Bodycam footage - him sitting on porch in shorts with a Bud Light and then walking up to the officers, talking normally before being tackled by the SWAT team. Looks like the Roger Stone FBI arrest. Is this just a vindictive wife situation?

I understand what you are getting at... and you are certainly correct that Trump is NOT a career politicians of any stripe.
However, he's not the first 3rd party President.
He's a Republican. He ran as a Republican and he has the full support of the Republican Party, which has been re-made in his image. 90+% of people who consider themselves Republicans fully support Donald Trump.

The political parties do change and evolve over time. The Republican Party certainly needed a shakeup from a guy like Donald Trump to save it from itself. But the Republican Party is not dead, indeed it is stronger now that it is not dominated by establishment types like the Bushes and the McCains. It's now Donald Trump's political party.

There are those who refuse to accept this, we call them Never-Trumpers, but the party goes on without them.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The Biden campaign requested two breaks (one every thirty minutes) during tonight’s program, which was denied by their Trump counterparts, in negotiations over the last several weeks

Fox News’s Bret Baier pointed out that the debate commission always said the debate would be 90 minutes straight through with no commercial breaks.

The debate, taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, is slated to begin at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

Disagree. Trump is no more a Republican than was Bloomberg when he ran, and was elected as, a Republican. The only reason the GOP is supporting Trump as it does is what choice does it have? Remade in his image? Hardly.

For now. If you think the change you think you're seeing in the GOP is any kind of permanent, I think you're dreaming.

Yeah, people who support and vote for Trump are Never-Trumpers.

Not sure how that works, but ok.

Four years ago Hillary and the Dems didn't want Trump in charge of the nuclear football. Now they think a guy that's clearly failing mentally is fit to carry it.
The same people that want universal background checks because we shouldn't give crazy people guns. Nuclear footballs ok, guns not ok.

In some other unimportant news, the President is nominated for the Novel Peace Prize for the 3rd time. Big Grin

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...-nomination-doctrine

Trump gets third 2020 Nobel Peace Prize nomination
Trump is reducing US involvement in wars, one of his nominators said

By Evie Fordham | Fox News

President Trump received his third 2020 Nobel Peace Prize nomination in September, this time from a group of Australian law professors.

“What he has done with the Trump Doctrine is that he has decided he would no longer have America involved in endless wars, wars which achieve nothing but the killing of thousands of young Americans and enormous debts imposed on America," Australian legal scholar David Flint told Sky News Australia on Sunday. "He's reducing America's tendency to get involved in any and every war."

Flint praised the president's role in brokering a peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

"What Trump did is he went ahead and negotiated against all advice, but he did it with common sense," Flint told the outlet. "He negotiated directly with the Arab states concerned and Israel and brought them together."

"He's also been the first American president to work out how to make America energy independent of the Middle East," Flint added.

Trump was first nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by a Norwegian Parliament member for his role in the United Arab Emirates-Israel peace deal. Days later, a Swedish Parliament member nominated Trump again after he helped secure a deal for normalized economic relations between Serbia and Kosovo.

"It's a great honor to be nominated, and I know it has tremendous significance," Trump told Fox News Radio White House correspondent Jon Decker on Sept. 10. "I just think it's a great thing for our country. It shows that we're trying to make peace, not war all the time."

The Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced on Oct. 9.

Fox News' inquiry to NobelPrize.org was not immediately returned.

Fox News' Yael Halon and Adam Shaw contributed to this report.
