How damaging was Joe Biden’s statement that he would destroy the U.S. oil and gas industry in last night’s debate? So damaging that at least one Democrat congressional candidate in New Mexico was disavowing him and her Party in real time:
Biden’s latest promise to destroy an industry that provides more than 2 million direct jobs and supports another 8-9 million nationally will have major ramifications down the ballot in close races, not just in New Mexico, but also in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, California, Alaska and the crucial swing states of Ohio, Michigan and most of all, Pennsylvania, the hub of the giant Marcellus Shale natural gas resource.
The irony is that Biden’s promise to “transition away from the oil industry, yes” came mere moments after he had outright lied to his national TV audience, claiming that he had “never” promised to ban hydraulic fracturing, a lie that Trump pretty much immediately disproved by tweeting out the same video he showed at this week’s big rally in Eerie, PA. That video shows both Biden and Kamala Harris promising to eliminate fracking on at least a dozen different occasions:
The President responded to Biden’s latest fracking lie by looking directly into the camera and telling the truth: “Basically, what he’s saying is that he is going to destroy the oil industry. Will you remember that, Texas? Will you remember that, Pennsylvania? Will you remember that, Oklahoma?”
Joe Biden can’t win this election without carrying Pennsylvania. He has no road to the White House without it going through the Keystone State. By promising one more time to eliminate the oil industry, the Democrats’ Unfrozen Caveman Nominee essentially told PA’s tens of thousands of workers who rely on the industry to support their families that they need to “learn to code,” to quote Barack Obama’s infamous advice to coal workers.
In 2016, Donald Trump basically secured the election with a win over the Pantsuit Princess in their final debate. Last night, I believe he essentially did the same thing with a clear dominance of Biden, who became increasingly confused and fatigued as the debate progressed and even made the George HW Bush mistake of getting caught looking longingly at his watch about 2/3rds of the way through.

Despite the incessant interruptions and typically slanted “questions” coming from hack moderator Kristen Welker, Trump also got in the two most memorable zingers of the evening.
At one point, when Biden said “I don’t know where he comes from…”, Trump interrupted by quickly saying, “Queens.” Hilarious.
Then, when Biden rolled out the despicable Democrat lie that the border facility holding cages were an invention of the Trump Administration, the President responded with “Who built those cages, Joe?”
Oof.
Then there was this exchange:
President Trump: “He thought I shouldn’t close the border to China.”
Moderator to Biden: “Do you want to respond to that?”
Biden: “No…”
China Joe’s campaign staff must’ve screamed in unison at that one.
The whole night went that way, with Biden stammering through obviously-scripted non-answers and the President directly taking the issues head-on, displaying the genuineness that got him elected in the first place in 2016. Biden “won” in the snap polls that several outlets put out immediately following the debates, but that has always been the case with Trump’s debates. What matters is what people will remember from the debate over the next several days.
After the first debate, all anyone remembered was Chris Wallace’s horrific moderation and the President’s anger, and it damaged Trump. It was in fact the only presidential debate Trump ever lost.
From this debate, people are going to remember the visual of Biden looking at his watch, Biden being confused and artificial, Biden’s negativity and Trump’s zingers and positive outlook.
That positive outlook, Trump’s obvious love of this country and everyone and every business in it, will end up being the overriding key. Biden lost this debate – and in my opinion, the election – when he said at one point that “we are about to go into dark winter.”
Trump’s response? “I don’t think we’re going to have a dark winter at all.”
So, that’s it; that’s the choice America now sees before it: A “dark winter” with a clearly-addled, mean-spirited old career politician who has been on the take for decades, or a bright future with the guy who created the greatest economy we had ever seen before China sent its viral plague to our shores.
As one anti-Trump network correspondent was overheard saying to colleagues in the press room before the debate: “It’s going to be a long 2nd term.”
For the corrupt news media, it sure will be. For America, happy days are here again.
That is all.
I voted yesterday in central Virginia... and what I saw in 2016 was nothing compared to the influx & steady stream of people voting early... It was a constant flow of people in and out.
VOTE for PRESIDENT
VOTE for a US Senator
VOTE for a US Congress rep
Two ISSUES to vote for
then out the door - took like a minute...
People are definitely getting out to vote this time...!!!
“Who built the cages Joe?”
President Trump has the momentum, the senate can help keep this up and help themselves with an investigation into Biden’s emails.
Super Trump super Move the super red wave now engaged.
Vote Trump 2020
I want to learn more about the “Poor Boys.” I understand that a fellow named Willie is their leader, and they hang out down on the corner and out in the streets. Is there more?
I think there were 5 major wins for Trump:
1) Joe putting energy workers out of business and raising gas to $5.00 a gallon doesn’t go well with Suburban moms driving gas guzzling SUV’s.
2) Joe calling Blacks super predators and jailing Blacks may move 5% of the male Black vote to Trump.
3) Trump saying we learn to live with Covid and Bien saying we need to learn to die with Covid, it’s not the Winter that will be dark, it’s Biden being dark.
4) Exposing Biden as corrupt, although the media is purposefully ignoring this, it gets out and puts doubt in people’s minds.
5) Trump exposing Biden as being in charge the past 8 years and accomplishing nothing, all political talk, nothing done - ultimate insider.
6) BONUS - Biden looks weak, can’t verbalize words, hiding in basement, not campaigning - people want an energetic President.
7) Double Bonus - Trump wants an open economy and so do people who have lost jobs or income or their businesses, Biden wants to mandate mask wearing and shutting the economy and schools.
DB talks about Biden looking at his watch, I have seen some comments on other sites about it might have been a smart watch and Biden was looking for a lifeline.
Joe Biden's thoughts of our future included a "dark winter" and plans to keep talking about our "systemic racism." Ending fracking, closing out the oil industry and that Biden never took a penny from a foreign government, granting amnesty were also highlights of my night listening to this 47 year political democrat shell spewing his plans. I hope enough voters heard his message for our country.
Today is a great day.
One of the highlights of the debate when Trump cornered Biden into admitting he will destroy the oil industry.
Second was Biden denying he’s ever said he’d end fracking.
Hannity played the videos of Biden saying just that immediately and I believe Rush also has a montage of Biden and Harris saying same.
I think Biden’s answers in this debate are proof that, at the very least, he had the questions in the previous debates, assuming that his campaign didn’t actually provide the questions in the first place.
We have a relative staying with us who is an RN with decades of experience.
He refused to watch the debates but came in at the end and was shocked by the appearance of Biden - said he looked very frail but was covered with make-up to try to hide it.
I thought Biden had fallen asleep during the debates.
LOL
Yep, that jumped out at me as well. His eyes ere buggy, I have to believe they pump him with stimulants for these.
Trump has to win by 100,000 votes or more in every swing state or they will steal it..
LOL Chris Wallace, after this debate, actually said he was ‘jealous’ of Kristen Welker and how well this debate proceeded to unfold. KW had a heavy load to cart. Not only did she have responsibility to begin an attempt to persuade voters MFM is NOT the enemy, she had the equally heavy task to persuade voters TRUMP is BAD ORANGE MAN. Walk that tightrope, Kristen. It is truly a CIRCUS, clowns, magicians, and acrobats.
Trump did not lose any debate.
3) Trump saying we learn to live with Covid and Bien saying we need to learn to die with Covid, it’s not the Winter that will be dark, it’s Biden being dark.

Over & over, Joe was doom & gloom. From the first statements to the last and a few times in-between.
POTUS was upbeat & optimistic.
I knew from the 1st ‘doom is neigh’ statements, that Joe had lost it. Americans crave hope, not despair. There was a reason zer0 hammered ‘hope’n’change’.
