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.
In spades
And that facelift! OMG, his eyes are pulled tighter than Nancy Pelosi's! So fake looking.
I am a staunch Trump supporter, and I have lost NO faith nor favor with Trump because of last night's debate.
No one seems to want to comment that last night really WAS a debate !
If Wallace had not been there, America might have seen what we'd like to see in politics rather than "my esteemed colleague on the other side" .... a couple of guys going at each other for real.
I posted my comment in reply to individual comments, not to the FR world in general.
I made a judgement call that I still agree with. Trump sucked last night and will go forth to win his second term, but I DO now believe it MIGHT not be the landslide I have prophesied all year.

I POSTED MY COMMENT AS AN HONEST ASSESSMENT.
I expected Trump to play 3D chess but he didn't ...
He had at LEAST three opportunities to answer the question with nothing more than a laundry list of his accomplishments, long enough to run out the 2 minute clock and he never did ...... Trump's major asset is a job well done, promises made/promises kept and every ONE of them well documented.
I summed it all up with IMO Trump sucked

Biden’s just got that shyster look to him.
Correct. However, the MARXIST’S on the communist left, do not care. Their HATE FOR DONALD TRUMP is the worse I have ever seen against a republican. It is only passed for my hate of Hillary!!! Now that is total, unadulterated, unmitigated, hate of the Klintons. I have to nightly ask the Good LORD to forgive me for it. It is one of my many daily sins. We all have them.
even though Hunter is a crook, but because I don’t like anyone talking about family members in a very personal way
//
Really ?
Every mass murder , theif and pyschopath in history were someone’s
” family”
,,so it’s verboten to talk about them ?
Glad you weren’t a judge at neuremberg ,
all the nazies would have walked scott free.
You would never get the chance. I run with a very small, carefully selected upscale group//
Wow aren’t I impressed !
Who exactly ?
The Clintons ?
The Obamanations ?
The Bidens ?
Harris ?
WallAss ?
Or just the common average pack of obliviouse snobs that run such prestigious organizations such as academia , media and the central committee of commies and their crap holes around the world.
SPIT.
Good post. Thanks.
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it. :)
Oh, that’s good. Wish I’d written that! I could NOT believe Biden brought up Hunter (?) of his own volition. Yeah, not smart.
That was so weird. Biden seemed to confuse himself with Trump who does a rally every night. Just the man we want with the nuclear code...not!
Wow! I was watching CBS, I think, and they instantly cut to the studio so we didn’t see any of that, while the talking head told us sadly how badly Trump did. Had to switch off the TV. Oh, my blood pressure!
Wallace and Biden didn’t know the difference between an absentee ballot and an unsolicited ballot, even though Trump explained it to them 3 times.
I almost felt sorry for him, the way his lips were shaking, but then I remember Hunter...Burisma...all those little girls. Yeah, no empathy.
Brilliant! LOL
Thank you! It was a challenge to listen, type, edit all at the same time!
So the venue (technically a blog) is what dictates where a topic (news) is posted? Understood.
Btw, I’ve been trying to find the Rules for this forum with no luck. Are they posted somewhere or must I continue to learn by blundering around, apparently making “mistakes.” Not my favorite way to learn The Rules.
Thank you!
If you're going to police the threads for rule violations, why don't you police yourself.
Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience.
There is no reason for you to name-call people like that, as if it's the reason for your ire.
