Trump needs to quit responding to Biden’s attacks and answer the questions directly.

[Mik]

This is like an online flame fest.

That's like saying Rick James needs to stop snorting coke. He's Rick James, bitch.

Yup. He tends to deflect and not answer the question. The childcare discussion is a good example.

[Copper]

They are awful

I can't take anymore tonight

[Mik]

Yep. Trump could have come out a clear winner had he just stayed out of the gutter. But he didn’t.

I had to swtich it off as spouse was talking too much to the television.

[LuFins Dad]

And Trump blew the closing…

Tried to cover too much ground.

But nobody's going to remember his closing...

[Mik]

They both need a long walk on a short pier.

[Renauda]

Watched the entire gobsmacking spectacle.

Heard it described on the post debate analysis here as “jaw droppingly excruciating” to witness.

There will not be a second debate between these two candidates.

From your lips to god’s ears.

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

[jon-nyc]

Yes. I was going to vote for Joe Biden.

After the debate I decided to change my name to ‘None Of The Above’ and run for president myself.

[kluurs]

Biden has reached the stage where the kids need to tell him to give up the car keys. Still, the Presidency is not one person. The Executive Branch is as effective as the people who are chosen to support the office. Every President is helped and hurt by the people chosen to head the various components of government. While Biden has bumbled some choices, I think that Trump's choices will not be as qualified as the last time he held office. They'll be chosen solely for loyalty to him.

At least we have a Supreme Court that let's public officials accept bribes - so long as it is after the official has provided the service. America's one percent has bought a responsive government.

[Copper]

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

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