Presidential Debates 2020

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

That was not a debate.

It was a high-school style shouting match, a pissing contest. When folks yell at one another and talk over each other, that cannot fairly be considered a debate.

Trump should have held his mud and let Biden hang himself, then gone in for the kill. Instead, he sunk to Biden's level and ran in talking over Joe and shouting in unison with him.

Neither one changed my ideas at all, not even a little bit.

I am convinced that Joe had a earwig, possibly a bone implant or a cochlear implant. His hesitation and "listening" just before he named Kelley Ann Conway was the tell.

Now the Monday Morning Quarterbacking starts where all the pundits tell us why their guy won...

... but as far as I'm concerned, neither one of them did. it was just a shit show, with no winners.

I'm with @"Finspiracy" - next time, they need to cut off their damned microphones if they don't have the floor for speaking.

Bummer. I thought Trump might do better. I reckon I was fooled.

If I had been Mr. Wallace "moderating", 15 minutes in I'd have out shouted both of them and told them if they couldn't control themselves any better than that, then this debate was over, right now. The end. Cut the mics.

A loss on all parties accounts.

I agree.

It was an ugly, embarrassing, visual example of what we sound like, and must look like to the world. 

They hit every forum buzz phrase, and it was no debate, it was just a visual rendition of almost any forum on the internet.

The only buzz phrase missing was, "Where are their parents?"

I have to take a look at the third person on the ticket, that is getting no media attention or time. It is looking like Jo Jorgensen may get at least one vote. Since my vote will be wasted either way. I would rather throw it away on an slim to no possibility, than throw it away on a sure fiasco.

This is not the best that we can be, at least I pray that it isn't. If this is America greatness on display, than maybe it is time we face that we have arrived at Idiocracy, and we have reached the bottom of the barrel.
