Joe Biden is the gift to Conservatives that keeps on giving and Tuesday night's Presidential Debate was no exception. Under a banner reading "The Union and the Constitution Forever," I've never seen two candidates come out swingin' so quickly. It was a fight from the start and Biden, despite his unpatriotic black-and-white tie, was the one bleeding.
Joe's blunders began almost instantly. When asked why President Trump should not nominate a replacement to Justice Ginsberg, Joe invalidated the 2016 election claiming the American people were "not going to get that chance” to have their say in the selection of a judge.
Feel that, America? You just got slapped across the face.
But Joe's first proper blunder was claiming Roe v Wade was on the ballot in the courts. Trump and I had the same reaction? Ummmm. We looked like my kitten when she's puzzled and cocks her head to one side.
Within the first 10 minutes, Trump's strong personality and message had moderator, Chris Wallace's, voice was shaking with anger and Biden laughing, visibly flustered. By moving them to emotion, Trump instantly gained the upper hand. Kudos, Mr. President, kudos.
Blunder #2: "Everybody knows [Trump's] a liar."
Am I the only one who noticed Biden's inability to look Trump in the eye when he said it?
Blunder #3: "I'm not going to answer the question."
Isn't that the entire point of a debate!?
Blunder #4: "Would you shut up, man."
I let out a piercing scream (of delight!) and my husband ran into the bedroom to say, "Joe's just lost. He just told the President to 'shut up'. If he has that much disdain for the office of the Presidency, how's he going to protect the common man."
Blunder #5: "[Covid-19] is what it is, because you are who you are."
Suddenly, the virus is about one man's personality. This from the party that keeps yelling about science, science, science.
Blunder #6: "There's millions of scientists, there's thousands of scientists, who don't work for him."
Joe's one homerun swing was to look into the camera and talk to the folks at home, like some kind of Fireside Chat instead of a Presidential debate. His mistake was using the word "smart."
Trump jumped on him, ""Did you say 'smart'...Don't ever use the word smart with me. There's nothing smart about you, Joe."
Joe had no response.
Blunder #7: "If I were running, I'd know what the plan was."
Wait, did Joe just say if I was running!?
That's exactly the Republican's point. He doesn't seem to be trying to run at all!
Blunder #8: "Will you just shush for a minute."
Trump proved again his great timing as a comedian when he noted that Biden's rallies are much smaller not because of Covid-19 but because "Nobody will show up."
Biden, God love him, laughed. It was almost as good as the "Cause you would be in jail" moment from the 2016 Trump/Clinton debate.
Blunder #9: "I'm going to eliminate the Trump tax cuts."
You hear that, Mr. and Mrs. American? Small business owners? Freelancers like me?
Blunder #10: "You're the worst President America's ever had."
Trump's instant response: "I've done more in 47 months than you did in 47 years." Burn!
Blunder #11: "We handed him a booming economy. He blew it."
Even Chris Wallace caught that one, correcting Joe Biden.
At this point, I began feeling sorry for VP Biden. They weren't equally matched and then Trump brought up Hunter and my empathy went away. With his head hanging, Joe tried...oh, how he tried to defend he whole Burisma thing.
Blunder #12: "None of that is true. None of that is true. Totally discredited. And by the way...It is not true....His position has been totally discredited."
Really??? I hadn't heard that.
Blunder #13: "It's hard to get any word in with this clown."
Shut up. Shush. Clown.
I've never heard anyone speak so disrespectfully to a President.
Two Segments down. Four to go. I'm already exhausted. This article is too long already so I'm going to press.
We are the greatest nation on God's green Earth and that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the best candidate the Democrats have. He had only two messages: Trump lies (you know that) and people died because of Trump, as if he engineered COVID-19.
I would say, "God help us all" but fortunately, Donald Trump is doing his usual spectacular job in the debate and, if you look deep in your heart, you know he'll win with ease on November 3rd.
Biden either had the questions in advance or standard answers written out. He was reading from notes a couple times his lips were moving as he looked down to read.
He had a pen in his right hand checking off what he had used. Whenever he wasn’t laughing and flashing that weird smile he was looking down at the notes. At the end just after Jill went on stage to collect him an aide rushed over to the podium and picked up what looked like a spiral notebook. (Old fashioned paper notebook) It looked light brown. I watched on Fox News as she walked off stage with it.
Joe lost his mind when President Trump mentioned that he called Blacks “predators on our streets”
Joe just screamed that’s a lie.
It’s been all over you tube and other sites. Original video from the floor of the Senate.
The Basement Boy can’t call Portland or Seattle, cause he’s not in office (but the Jimmy Carters and Lebronzzzs can).
What a complete fake.
Joe mentioned President Trump and bunker two or three times. I was hoping to hear President Trump say how’s your basement bunker Joe?
Notice how a thread ON BIDEN'S BLUNDERS still attracts these trolls to bash Trump, when CLEARLY polls are showing people think he won. The media can't even muster up enough enthusiasm to LIE about Biden winning. They are even down on him.
yea whatever, troll.
I didn’t know FR was so full of snowflakes that don’t understand President Trump’s gift.
He knows how to fight.
Common sense Americans - tired of having to choose between lying Democrats and spineless Republicans - finally have a champion who tells the unvarnished truth and has the guts to stand his ground.
Snowflakes don’t like it - they just wish he would be more presidential.
Screw “presidential”.
.

Oh trust me the Bush/Romney Republicans are still here and the crawl out of the wood work pretending to be concerned or disappointed.
really? BS
Look at the after debate commentary are they saying Biden won? Nope. Neither are the snap shot polls.
the media isn’t even claiming his victory.
(Since 2020-09-13)
WELCOME! to Free Republic.
At times it was felt Sleepy Joe had been rudely awakened; his fingers clenched in a fist ready to punch.
Unable to catch the entire exchange word for word, but when Where’s Hunter was mentioned, somehow Joe found himself speaking of Beau (the better son?)
You must have just loved GWB's soft voice. His "high-road" policy lost us the House, and effectively the Senate, in 2006, ultimately leading to the election of Obama in 2008 and the imposition of ObamaCare in 2010.
Nobody on the other side ever complains about "tone." To them, politics is blood sport. No holds barred. And when they win, they shove down on us everything possible -- Constitution be damned! -- while they have the chance.
Exactly what is your "soft-voice" response to the Left's maniacal obsession with absolute power?
Trump did clean Slow Joe’s clock. The effort to smoke Joe out so he would spew out all of the lies and leftist nonsense he brewed up in his basement was perfection. He even got Joe to call him a jerk and a clown. That kind of character flaw we can’t have loose with other world leaders. In fact, we would never want him over for Thanksgiving dinner.
Agree. After a night’s sleep and overall reflection: Biden had NOTHING of substance to say. He refused to answer any direct questions. He continually said “That’s a lie” but had no other rebuttals. Trump had concrete accomplishments and was cut off by Wallace when refuting Biden’s nonsense. The MOST IMPACT was when Trump listed police departments across the country that support him, and asked Biden to name just one that supported him. Biden had NOTHING to say and was “rescued” by Wallace asking a different question. The evening was a thorough beat-down and Trump won.
As I posted elsewhere...
Used car salesman.
A polished robot, smarmy and not to be trusted by regular folk.
Then you weren’t paying attention - once again he went into hostile waters with the sharks massed up to take him down and once again he ended up on top - with Candy-Crowley-Wallace there, it was an impossible task to have a “snap-decision” blowout, but Trump flustered Joe into some obscene gaffes and drew Wallace out into the open as a partisan hack.
When it was over, OANN folks said it best...”Wallace USED TO BE a highly respected journalist but threw it all away during the debate.”
Joe had dilated eyes and amphetamines will do this. I think there is a high probability he was juiced.
>>Grow a pair and fight or get off the battle field.<<
lol...stop dragging your knuckles Bruno.
I happen to like a debate where your side can articulate a cogent thought rather than blurting out sophomoric insults and gotcha one liners.
Grow up
Trump probably does too, but there was no way he was going to get it last night. So he had to try to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
Chris Wallace lost the debate. He was constantly badgering, correcting and arguing with Trump and then tossing to Biden with reverence.
As far as Trump vs. Biden, given Biden’s refusal to denounce Antifa or Court packing I’d say Trump will win the economic and Law and Order vote and our senate races can be run on the pack the court issue.
Biden is creepy and slimy to me.
He’z got that smile like a used car salesman that has just realized he is about to screw you and you think you've gotten a great deal.
I got what I expected from Trump last evening. It didn't change my mind and I don't think it changed anyone else.
Here we are, 30+ days from election day. If you're supposedly sitting on the fence as to who you'll cast your ballot...you're a weak individual.
A very famous rabbi taught me, “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.”
