“And the PRESIDENT missed the opportunity to correct the false statement again. Time and time again, he misses it. Not prepared for debate.”

That was very frustrating to me. Let the racist statue lie hang out there, the military “losers” lie hang there.

Biden had memorized talking points and pleas in to the cameras. Trump just did his usual rambling and didn’t come across very well at all.

He has a lot of work to do before the next debate. We can’t have Joe in the Whitehouse.

I still don’t know how he has the strength to go on. He is literally fighting the media, the cheating dems and the entire federal government every day.

[Shortstop7]

I think you are wrong. Joe looked confused at times....and Wallace chimed in and covered for him. Interesting that Biden had notes that he read. When Wallace would say, we are moving on to next segment....you could see Biden immediately look down at his notes. He always checked what was coming next.

I thought Wallace was an absolute disgrace.

[Engedi]

I agree. There’s a difference in defending yourself. President didn’t prepare for the debate questions and answers. He presents better at rallies for 2hrs but misses so many opportunities to correct the record in debates when hit with false quotes, false events, etc.

[Pravious]

Wallace did Biden no favors either. If you have to have a member of the media rescue you this much, it makes you look like you are too weak to fight your own battles.

That’s true. Wallace’s biased behavior was so over the line I can’t believe any person with a speck of objectivity in them couldn’t see it.

[chuckb87]

I agree, that person is a clown just like dopey joe.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Just watch

Wallace and the Dems overplayed their hand again

Trump is going to make hay on the campaign trail and Twitter over what a travesty this was

If CNN is calling this. Sh*t show, you know Biden didn’t come off well at all.

[Pajamajan]

Wallace gave Biden the questions ahead of time. The whole thing was A COORDINATED ATTACK ON TRUMP! It was not a freakin debate!

This is all on Trump. He agreed to the conditions.

Dana Loesche: “I didn’t think anything could be worse than Candy Crowley moderation. That’s when Chris Wallace told America to hold his beer.”

Pretty much, it was horrible. HORRIBLE.

It’s an unpopular opinion but one I share and we here at the house share even though all of us are Trump voters. My military buddy says the same. Trump forgets he is trying to win the middle undecided voter and keeps playing for his base. The best debate for him would had been one where most people here would have been disappointed in his fight. But the fact most everyone here is fired up proves my point. He came across as a jerk to the swing voter who is the 10% who hasn’t made up his mind.

As my son just said: he should had commended Joes son Bo for his service. Trump doesn’t have that decency in him. It plays well here-but not out there.

[funfan]

My head is not buried in the sand. I will proudly vote for Trump as will millions that is the bottom line.

[Jrabbit]

Trump should absolutely refuse to any more debates.

[Williams]

You’re an old timer here so I respect but you’re wrong. I watched Trump interrupted by Wallace and Biden, then Wallace demanded Biden not be interrupted. Then Trump never given a response. And that got worse as the night progressed.

[Pravious]

I don’t think I heard Trump call that ass Joe “clown” or anything.

—

Nor did he tell him to shut up.
Biden was obscenely disrespectful.

[miserare]

Moreover, Joe Biden is the enabler and the mentor of Hunter Biden.

That’s what makes it disgusting and disgraceful.

Crooked Bidens...Trump is right about that.

As an aside,Jill’s dress was atrocious. She can wear it again at Joe’s funeral.

[MayflowerMadam]

For the few minutes I had the fortitude to tune in, it seemed that Trump had all the bullet points on every subject in his head, and would throw them out willy-nilly. He was determined to say what he needed to say, was afraid he might not have a chance to say it, so blurted it out.

If he had been patient, he would’ve been presented with opportunities to smoothly work them in. It needed to be more finessed.

I could be wrong; it’s how I perceived the 10-15 minutes I watched.

[caww]

Worth a re-post.....says what went on pretty much throughout the debate folks:

Some of observations after watching the debate-

Chris Wallace asked questions challenging Trump’s record and his statements. I did not hear him ask anything challenging Biden’s record or his statements.

Chris Wallace was running interference for Biden. He regularly interrupted Trump and challenged what he said. He never did that for Biden.

Chris Wallace will not let President Trump challenge Biden, but he has no problem Biden doing the same to Pres. Trump.

“Far too many yes-men EverTrumpers cannot dare ever say he does wrong.”

He doesn’t do much very wrong. He does a lot very right. I can’t stand when people like you get on this website and tear this President down, one of the best Presidents for getting the conservative agenda passed that we have ever had. Liberalism (Dems) and Never Trumpers are a mental disease. Look in a mirror. Do you see two faces in there?
