Debate tonight

[Copper]

Mr. Biden’s replacement will have no trouble beating Mr. Trump.

If Mr. Trump is replaced, his replacement could win.

Bullshit. Kamala Harris won.

Is it wrong of me to get such pleasure at watching the left implode?

Schadenfreude is the word, right?

Yeah. I've also seen "Schadenboner."

So, there's that.

[George K]

Wow...look who's saying this.

[LuFins Dad]

By the way, is Biden speaking even older than he really is? Phrases like “Alley Cat” and malarkey make him sound 20 years older than he really is,

malarkey

It's his trademark word for bullshit.

Oh, I know, but again, it makes him sound even older. It sounds like an expression his dad or grandfather would have used.

Has the debate changed anyone's mind on whom to vote for comes the general election?

If it gives @Jolly some joy, during the first 20-30 minutes even I found myself thinking "I want Trump back in office, maybe I'll vote for him".

If Joe stays in office, I don't think he'd survive beyond 2026. If he stays out of office, he might last a few more years. I get no pleasure in saying this, sorry if I said it before, but Joe.... he has the "look/sound" of someone nearing the end. The froggy old person voice, the transparent hair where you can see freckles on his scalp, the shuffle walk, the beady eyes, the open mouth stare. It's bad.

Me too. Then he lost it. Didn't answer the questions before him, went back to his same old tropes.

I thought that during the short bit I saw that Trump wasn't the same as in previous elections either. He seemed to be completely lacking in charm or any kind of personal connection. I'm not trying to downplay the Biden debacle because he was absolutely horrible, but Trump wasn't that much better. Does anybody really want either of those two to be running the place in 3-4 years time?
