TEN DAYS OUT
From true blue Oregon to battleground Pennsylvania, Americans are divided as never before.
❚ Trump: “We're fighting it and we're fighting it hard… We're rounding the corner. It's going away.”
❚ Biden: “If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this … Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of United States of America.”
❚ Biden: “This is the same fellow who told you this is going to end by Easter last time. This is the same fellow who told you that, don't worry, we're going to end this by the summer. We're about to go into a dark winter, a dark winter, and he has no clear plan.” Trump: “I don't know if we're going to have a dark winter, and at all. We're opening up our country. We've learned and studied and understand the disease.”
❚ Biden: “He says, we're, you know, we're learning to live with it. People are learning to die with it.”
ON FOREIGN POLICY:
❚ Biden: “(Trump's) legitimized North Korea. He's talked about his good buddy (leader Kim Jong Un), who's a thug, a thug. And he talks about how we're better off when North Korea is much more capable of firing a missile that is able to reach U.S. territory. “
❚ Trump: “You know what? North Korea — we're not in a war. We have a good relationship.”
❚ Biden: “We had a good relationship with Hitler before he in fact invaded Europe. Come on.”
ON HEALTH CARE:
❚ Trump: “No matter how well you run (the Affordable Care Act), it's no good. What we'd like to do is terminate it. We have the individual mandate done. I don't know that it's going to work. If we don't win (in court) … we'll have Obamacare but it will be better run.”
❚ Biden: “People deserve to have affordable health care, period. Period. Period. Period.”
ON IMMIGRATION:
❚ Biden, on children separated at the border: “It makes us a laughingstock and it violates every notion of who we are.”
❚ Trump: “Children are brought here by coyotes and lots of bad people, cartels … We let people in but they have to come in legally.”
