After having watched on PBS (story upcoming), with Razorfist chuckling in my ear-piece from my tablet; after having slept on the memory and arisen to read the several fora (fori?) across the media, I will give my personal summary and not pick a winner.

Trump was forceful but, when speaking of policy, he gave a positive future for the US.
He did not lean on his record but projected and active POTUS.
Biden was weak and when speaking of his plans, he leaned exclusively on his record and on Party determined policies.
Biden, was too open in explaining the future of the USA under a Biden/Harris administration.

The backstory was directed by Trump and that was the all the shenanigans of the Democrats under Obama and continuing out into his Presidency.
POTUS got his licks in and those paying attention to the words, noticed.

Biden couldn’t refute the atmosphere nor the backstory as violent civil unrest led to the can of worms regarding all the Deep State action; from Hunter to Muller to DNC server.

Wallace was a failure and exposed as a shield for Biden.
At one point, around 10PM(E), Wallace and Trump exchanged question-point-rebuttal while Biden just looked on.
Wallace was debating Trump to give Biden a chance to...?

For me, the part of the debate where I held my breath (in anticipation) was the request to dis-avow “violent right-wing and white-supremacy” groups.
Trump handled it brilliantly by asking Sissy, “like who...name them.”
Sissy weakly offered (our brothers in arms) Proud Boys.
Trump stomped on that like a dung beetle.
I let out my breath, deflated.
I was REALLY hoping Sissy would say, “QAnon.”

Overall, Trump looked energized and espoused a robust future.
Biden looked like a sotted drunk leaning on the lamp-post of the Obama years, trying to explain his presence to a police officer.
No winners because Trump (1) cares little about winning a debate and (2) Trump was just Trump.
But I can say with confidence, Biden and his shield and surrogate Sissy Wallace lost.

Next 2 debates will much the same...if they happen with Biden as the opponent.
He’s still gonna pay for that “I’m the Democrat Party!” remark.
Could you just see her face when she gets invited to a meeting by Obambi and she walks into the room and sees HRC AND Soros waiting for her?

Back story on debate from PBS.

Lurlene tells me she wants to watch the debates.
After she revives me with a whiff of Knob Creek, I head to family room.
Ol’ Cletus gets the toob set up and, knowing that media is bulls4it, sets it for FNC because the moderator is their puppet.
I don’t really care where I get the feed from but, since FNC was controlling, I imagined we would get some angles other don’t carry.
Cletus heads into the kitchen to get some chocolate peanuts and another couple of fingers of KC.
Then, stop by the old reading-chair and pick up my tablet and bluetooth so I can stream RazorFist’s live feed.
[And, really, a not-to-be-missed feed during the debate]
Settle into the couch next to Madam Yokel and...YIKES!
Lurlene changed the channel to PBS!
Cletus is dumb and founded!
But, who cares.
We watched the debate.
I laughed, I cried, it was a show.
Best part was, near the end, I got to show Biden in an outright lie to Lurlene.
I cued up the “stupid bastards” video on my tablet and played it her for after Biden said, “I did not say that.”
She comes from a military family and the look on her face said it all.
She’ll either vote for Trump or not vote for POTUS at all.
She WILL be in line in person on Nov 3 after asking Cletus his thoughts on mail-in voting.
Cletus was comfy.

No matter what Biden did, just the fact that he appeared was a win for the good guys. If he had been incoherent and obviously suffering from dementia, it would have been game over for the election. But he was actually coherent. That is a win right there, because it means he cannot use “diminished capacity” in his defense when he goes to trial. The whole world saw him. Able to form coherent and logical sentences and stay on topic.

No way could a defense attorney argue with a straight face that the person we saw last night - the person who all the Ds think should be running the country - has diminished capacity.

Biden also claimed on camera in front of the whole world that Hunter did nothing wrong in China/Ukraine.

When Trump said he “caught them all”, Biden did not interrupt.

Furthermore, Wallace has now exposed himself and made it clear which side he is on.

***Biden and his shield and surrogate Sissy Wallace lost ... Next 2 debates will much the same...if they happen***

I wonder if Trump should agree to any more debates. Obviously the Biden team cheated - either by wearing a 'wire' or by the strange device on his left wrist... and some evidence that Joe's team had the questions in advance.

Furthermore, where can we find a genuine journalist who will treat each candidate equally? Wallace debating Trump is outrageous - AND how does Hunter Biden get passed over? Even if all his China and Ukraine shenanigans are accepted as legit business, how to explain a $3.5 mil bribe by a Russian oligarch without raising the question of blackmail of Joe as POTUS - the very thing they tried to destroy Trump with for three years and are still selling to the woefully stupid!

If they found an honest journalist that we could accept the Dems would never accept them... they have to cheat!
