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.
Trump handed Biden his rear end tonight.
he also said Trump killed 200,000; how many are still alive? LOL
Biden is running as a reasoned, temperate alternative to a belligerent Donald Trump. He is absolutely the wrong guy to run as that type of candidate — and it really showed.
Honestly — I think almost ANY of the other Democrat contenders would have fit that role much better than Biden does. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were masterful at it.
You don't want Trump as President but will vote for him?
I hope you misspoke.
Funny you said that net rumor is that
Someone on Fox said that too
This simply wasn’t a debate.
No honest debate requires one of the debaters to debate both his opponent AND the moderator.
Instead he just jumps into the fracas and joins it.....That’s why we vote for him. What do you want, somebody in office for 47 years who never does anything?
It wasn’t an extract and it was not presented as news. It was presented as analysis. Think of it as a vanity.
I’m not into people pimping their blogs, but sometimes you remind me of a cop pulling people over for doing 81 in an 80 MPH zone.
Shame on you! Trump did his best despite Wallace trying to be a menace to him by constantly running interference and cutting Trump off.
I missed that one. Good catch!
stfu
I’ll give Wallace credit for asking a couple tough question of Biden, as well as Trump, but his overall conduct was bad in the mud fight. Also, bringing up California fires and climate change was weak, and both sides Charlottesville debunked lie is awful. Not good overall.
I think you mean "excerpt" and yes it is posted in news.
This is some unemployed chick's blog and certainly NOT news.
I am pretty sure Biden saying he is raising everybody’s taxes and corporate taxes will.
“Problem with Trump is his thoughts are disorganized.”
Doesn’t matter. Most people don’t watch the debate. They watch the highlights. There were plenty for Trump.

He has so much he needs to say and knows he won’t get a chance to say them I think that’s why they are disorganized.
Yes, I mean “excerpt” and I don’t bother looking for “Where” articles are posted. I see them when I click on forum. I’ve been here since ‘97 and the only high level lings I ever use are “latest posts” and “latest articles” and almost always the latter, except when the site is slow. Then I use the former to see what people are talking about.
So my bad. It should not have been posted as “news”, but that nuance is irrelevant to me.
Trump wasn’t there to preach a sermon.
He was counter-punching against both Wallace and Biden.
Wallace turned out to be just as despicable as I thought he would be. What an extreme ass!
