I sat through the whole thing last night. It was embarrassing. I am ashamed of my country and of any who would support this effing monster.

I really don’t appreciate the BBC acting like CNN did in 2016. In their misguided desire to appear neutral, they are pussy-footing around the inescapable fact that Trump’s behaviour turned the event into a non-debate. While Biden may have made a couple of statistical mistakes (notably about the deficit with China), practically nothing of what Trump said was true. The BBC is making the same mistake that CNN did in 2016: presenting the peccadillos of one side as somehow equivalent to the outright violations of the truth on the other side.

I rather like Jan Hall’s idea about placing the candidates in sound-proofed booths with turned-off mikes for anybody who wants to speak out of turn. And we all know who that will be, eh?

Watched the whole of the non-debate and feel that Biden did about as well as anybody could under the circumstances. He managed to deliver a few one liners, several of which are worthy of more attention. But he succeeded in avoiding the temptation to get down into the gutter where Trump wallows. The parts where Biden talked directly to the viewers were pretty good (IMO). He should have used the phrase comparing Park Avenue and Scranton.

Wallace tried – but it wasn’t his best – to keep Trump to the agreed rules. Wallace seemed to be pretty frustrated towards the end, but his followers won’t pick that up. They will like the fact that Trump was rude and overbearing (like a one-trick pony).

Wow. Trump is more capable than I ever imagined. He managed to tweet dozens of times DURING the debate.

Bring up the Kobach ‘3 million illegal votes’ debacle.

I’ll bet Trump’s supporters will say he owned Biden and Wallace and that he showed how much he’s fighting for America.

What an effing mess. The Election Commission has to give the remaining moderators a mike cutting switch.

Now Crybaby is urging his supporters to go to the polls and “watch.”

I believe that Trump fans will think he aced this. However, I doubt he won over anyone new. I hope he turned off plenty.

Chris Wallance lost control from the very beginning. I really thought he would do a better job. Trump has made a complete ass out of himself tonight.

C’mon, Joe. Tell Doofus that the vast majority of California’s forests are on federal land!

Now Wallace argues with Trump, leaving out Biden. Oy.

Wallace has unexpectedly brought up climate change.

Trump just refused to condemn white supremacy again.

Good on Biden for bringing up son’s military service and challenging Trump on calling troops losers.

Can’t they both be put in a sound-proof booth to answer questions?

I think Biden should say something like, "Do you think talking nonstop looks presidential?

A great left hook by Joe.

Wallace is doing a pretty good job but I do wish he would cut the mikes when they interrupt. Trump is drowning out poor old Joe more than half the time.

Biden looks cool, calm, collected and healthy for his age next to sweat bag Trump who looks like his underwear is soaked, sticking in his crack, and he can’t wait for a commercial break to do a reach around and pull it out.

Biden debating, Trump holding a rally.

Trump “responds” by bringing up Biden’s old “super predators” remark and segueing into he’s supported by law enforcement.

Excellent Biden attack on race. “This is a president who has used everything as a dogwhistle.” And he brings it back to COVID killing more people of color.

.

@John McKee With all due respect, I wouldn’t count on that happening John. Trump’s supporters will STICK WITH HIM LIKE KRAZY GLUE STICKS TO SKIN!

Biden needs to say something to shut Trump up or make him unglued and defensive.

Chris Wallace has totally lost control of this s***show and he’s too afraid to tell Trump to shut up.

Joe is wiping the floor with him on truth and actual real world things, but I haven’t seen anything yet that will shake the faith of hardcore Trumpists. Hopefully, those on the margins of Trump’s remaining supporters are seeing the scales come off their eyes.

Wallace just allowed Trump to cheat by getting extra time,.
