Presidential Debates 2020

[Schmoe1]

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.

This.

I likened it to two brothers, aged 8 and 10, brought before their parents, and in trouble.  It was a joke.

If I'm Trump, I'm giving Biden his full 2 minutes so he can dance his way into his own noose.  I understand the desire to address bullshit as it comes, but nobody respects the guy who tries to shout others down. 

He could have made biden look a complete moron, and he did a few times, but Trump did more to damage Trump than Biden did.

There they are folks!  The 2 best options our country has to lead it!  Other countries must be laughing their asses off.  I know I am.
