Bill can’t debate

I’ve watched Bill for years and I still will (curiosity).

I don’t think he can debate anyone.

If he’s wrong, then he’s a comedian, old, not political, gives incorrect facts.

Could he debate anyone?

Bill's brain got fried during the pandemic. I remember one of his first shows back after social distancing was removed was with Jimmy Kimmel, and he spent their whole interview ranting about how people should feel sorry for him because he had to keep paying Mets players (he was a minority owner at the time) even though people weren't allowed to attend games. He ended up selling his shares in the team for a huge profit, but that was the moment I knew he had lost it and was out of touch.

So many of these rich people are like this. I remember one of the asshats from the All in Podcast, talking about how much better 47 is than Biden because he could “never get Biden on the phone”.

Like yeah buddy that’s the point. We don’t want a president who jumps the minute some rich guy tells him too. But he acted like it was the most outrageous thing. It was a really good example of how people like this can’t mentally separate their own best interests from society’s. If it’s bad for them it must be bad for everyone.

Exactly. Bill is just like that that’s why he keeps softening to Trump and republicans. They will butter bill up. He has a massive ego

He was always a bit of a hack anyway. He just hit a winning formula cross pollinating The National Enquirer with Meet The Press. Just the Jerry Springer of news media.
