1st President Debate

If either of them said "I don't want to hold anymore debates", would you hold it against them?

Seem like most summaries I see are about the debate being a bit of a disgrace. Not really calling winners and losers.

Biden physically looked much older and weaker.

Trump was a bully, but also landed way more punches.

Ultimately it was a disgrace, which would’ve been on Trump’s shoulders alone had Biden not called Trump a clown twice, told him to shut up, told him to stop yapping, and literally called him a racist.

[89th]

Trump’s mind is so quick and sharp though. Not sure if you saw it, but at one point Trump was making a point and talking while Joe was also talking and giving a list of reasons for something, and Biden skipped reason #2 and when he said “number 3” Trump said without skipping a beat “you’re still on #2”.

Yep.

But for the next debate, let's do away with the moderator.

I spent tonight literally scrubbing the toilets at work. It sounds like ya’lls night was worse.

You know - I didn't find anything in it unexpected or memorable. Pretty tame and par for the course as far as Trump goes.

Completely useless though.

One of the better lines of the post debate: I thought Trump asked better questions than Chris Wallace. Maybe next time Trump should be the moderator.

Yep.

Why? Is there really anything either could have said that would change your mind?

What would either have to say in the next debate (if there is one) that would change your mind?

The debates are bringing out the worst in both men.

I say we get Samuel Jackson to moderate the next one:

Wow, so many new posts. Didn't have time to look through them, or look at the debate. My guess is that the debate will have swayed Larry and he'll now vote for Biden. Am I right?

[jon-nyc]

Later today he’s knocking doors getting out the vote in black neighborhoods in Knoxville.

Seems to be the consensus this morning.

Anderson Cooper said the same words.

Most polls show that nobody won, and it was just a shitshow inside of a clustefuck next to a dumpster fire.

But this, I think, is interesting.

If there is some magical gut intuition or AI that knows what to target I will be tempted to put down my pencil as they say.
