I agree. To me, Joe performed well above expectations and PDJT, below expectations.
Of course, by not messing his pants on stage and being mostly coherent, and launching only a couple of short tirades instead of dementia-fueled rage, Joe wildly surpassed my expectations of him. Congratulations to his his handlers/drug dealers/’doctors’ on keeping him relatively ‘aware’ for the whole debate. The question is, what happened to his eyes? His pupils appeared to take up ALL of his irises! How many days will it take for him to recover and appear relatively ‘normal’?
PDJT feeds off the energy of the crowds. As there were few at the auditorium, he fell a little flat, in my opinion. I also don’t think he practiced for the debate. I think he should have better prepared.
As the ‘debates’ are aimed at uncommitted voters, I don’t think many were swayed. PDJT needed a ‘knockout punch’ to convince undecided voters. IMO, he did not succeed. Hopefully, he’ll practice for the next debate and develop a ‘knockout punch’ to destroy Biden’s campaign. Just my opinion.
If you mean Joe not passing out on stage, you're right. But did he really make his case as to why he should replace Trump? Not even close, and that's the bottom line.
