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 has absolutely no respect for the office he seeks.
“ Biden stating he will rescind Trumps tax cuts is a commercial they are making already.”
Oh, there’s a LOT of good commercials coming out of this. We may have seen the one & only debate.
That is pretty much all you want
As long as biden didnt faint, the media will be happy
Biden said under his energy plan buildings would emit less gas and oil.
He also spoke about all the equipment gotten out and about the governors praising him, which they did.
The next step is to put commercials out of the governors and mayors praising him. They need to engulf the airwaves.
I was kinda hoping Biden would be his own worst enemy...he was not. Actually he did quite well. He looked into the camera several times and made his appeal to the voter.
Not that it made a big difference. Going in to this debate, 34 days before the election...I don't think anyone really changed their opinion regarding who they will cast their vote for. I thought Trump sucked too...still casting my ballot for him.
Trump sux on the debate stage. Period. As president...he freaking rocks. Best president in my lifetime.
Well Leanora, Enjoy your sleepless night... 4 MORE YEARS!
excellent recap
Did he change anyone’s mind? NOPE.
The debate was difficult to watch and listen to for several reasons.
Wallace made a false accusation against the President along with each of several questions. That was worse than begging the question. The same accusations have been repeatedly made by the Democrat media companies many times.
Our President could have done better by providing some specific details with some of his answers, but he has his own style of speaking to audiences. Remember that so far, the Democrats have the support of many low information voters.
So it’s up to all of us to make up for that in these last very few weeks before the election. The big media companies are not on our side. We must tell the young people in our communities specifically what the Trump Administration has done for us and will do during the next four years. It can be done with many very short bites of important information in many different ways (word of mouth, T-shirts, bumper stickers, etc.).
But Trump already had the reputation of being rude. Now Biden does too.
Trump came off as grounded in reality, and Biden came off as grounded in party narrative. With Trump seeming gobs more competent to handle real world problems.
I do. The feelings were generally the same, though I do feel a few posters feel a bit more hysterical than they were last time.
Gonna get scorn for this but here goes...
Ted Cruz is by far one of the BEST in tactical debate of any conservative. Kick Christie to the curb and ask Ted to assist in debate prep for the next one. He well help POTUS stay on message,
Biden FLAT OUT LIED about calling troops Stupid Bastards.

Challenged Biden couldn’t name one Police organization that supports him.
Would not say he wouldn’t pack Supreme Court.
Tell me Biden did well and why.
>>Did he change anyone’s mind? NOPE.<<
Nope. I only watched for the entertainment value. Well, not too entertaining...more like a mud slinging match.
I have a saying for this: There was a fight and a debate broke out.
Biden was pretty pathetic when Trump hammered Hunter over over the $3.5 million Hunter got from Moscow. All Biden could say was “not not true”.
Biden didn’t look good.
I thought the whole thing was a disgraceful fiasco. I don’t want any of them as President but will still vote for Trump.
I did not know Wallace was running for office.
The President never learned that a soft voice turns away wrath. Instead he just jumps into the fracas and joins it.
What a disappointment.
