But on a deeper dive, he got his points across. Could he have been burlier? Sure. But there's a fine line when debating with a lunatic.

My take on the debate is best expressed by Doug Schoen. A Fox news political analyst ( democrat, who worked with the Bill Clinton administration ) who will vote for Biden and is no supporter of Trump....
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/firs...ce-doug-schoen
"The first presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden has concluded. Following the night, the biggest takeaway is that there were no surprises, and nothing happened that will change any attitudes, cause either candidate to gain or lose any votes, or move any undecided voters one way or the other.
Indeed, while the debate was contentious, and at times became personal, it lacked any real substance that could change attitudes in any meaningful way.
Given the level of back-and-forth between the candidates, the substance of the candidates’ answers was often lost and took a back seat to their style of argumentation and command of the room.
Though, in terms of style, in my view, President Trump was the clear winner—Trump was in command of the conversation, in control of the discussion, and if not presidential, certainly more in command."
But Biden did well I think, And Trump failed to express himself well enough on some topics. Both candidates interrupted each other and Trump was the worse about that.
Overall, it was a draw and the winner or loser is going to depend on who you ask.Last edited by Ghostpanther; 2020-09-30 at 12:49 PM.

Mostly agreed yes. I think one of the strongest parts of Biden was when he abandoned trying to argue the idiotic shit Trump made up about his son, and refocused the discussion on what actually mattered to the people they're both meant to serve. It seemed to me like he was the only one who even mentioned the American people. Trump has a fragile ego so he cannot do the same, and it shows why he's unfit to lead. Originally Posted by Machismo

Don't misunderstand, I didn't need him to be measurably different, just a short wish list of a couple points I wish he'd made, and tremendous admiration and respect for the fact that he didn't walk over punch him in his painted, sweaty, bloated, flabby face. Originally Posted by Valkyrst

Republicans on twitter are using Twitter Polls like Telemundo to suggest Trump won the debate, what a joke.
The Debate has yet again shown how pathetic, ignorant and deplorable trump supporters are. Called some Trump supporters out that they support a Racist and they cried foul and acted like Snowflakes.
Plenty Trump Supporters are/were silent after the horrible debate performance by Trump and his support of White Supremacist/Right Wing Extremist Hate Groups.A Fetus is not a person under the 14th amendment.
Christians are Forced Birth Fascists against Human Rights who indoctrinate and groom children. Prove me wrong.

Yeah, what is nearly unanimously being called the worst debate that has ever existed, is a win to Trump supporters... no mention of call to arms for white supremicist? No urging his supporters to watch others vote? Let me guess... still not racist? Did Biden urge antifa to be ready? Originally Posted by Ghostpanther

Shouting over other people is apparently "Winning" What a joke.
Didn't even mention Trumps support of White Supremacist/Right Wing extremist groups.Last edited by szechuan; 2020-09-30 at 12:47 PM.

Sure, if you Simp for a grade school bully, I could see this being the takeaway. Anyone who doesn't drink the kool aid though should be appalled by the behavior last night. Originally Posted by Ghostpanther

Trump was in "command of the conversation" the way a rabid hyena would be in charge of the conversation, doesn't mean you make it president. Originally Posted by Felya

The fact that he and you think Trump was ANYWHERE CLOSE to being the winner, means you didn't watch the fucking debates. Originally Posted by Ghostpanther

I’d just like to point out, that this debate has resulted on an influx of people who are not regulars, posting here... and it seems like good people... Sorry to use you as an example, but I think this debate might have got some enthusiasm on the Biden side... even if only because of Trump “controlling the room”... Originally Posted by Warning

The one other thing I think Biden should've clamped down on was the bit where Trump accused him of using the term 'super predator'. Biden should've also been more pointed on the Green New Deal. It IS a great framework for climate change, but ISN'T Biden's plan. The distinction is key. Originally Posted by Levelfive

It's a fairly big surprise when the POTUS tells a group that has been called an 'extremist group with ties to white nationalism' by the fbi to stand by and won't denounce them. Originally Posted by Ghostpanther

Trump repeated every single post ghost made in this thread, over the last couple of months. From implying Harris runs the show to the military quote that he admitted was misrepresented... but, eye for an eye, so it’s fair for Trump to lie... He was Trump’s target audience...

Biden's performance was not amazing but he held his own against the worst president, he definitely should of said what you mentioned. Originally Posted by Valkyrst
