President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden clashed in their final debate Thursday in Nashville.
The two men were supposed to meet three times, but the second event was canceled after the president tested positive for the coronavirus and refused to debate remotely.
They also debated with a mute button, preventing one candidates from interrupting the other during the initial response to a question. But there were still lots of sharp jabs between the two.
Trump went into the debate trailing Biden by 7.9 percentage points in the Real Clear Politics poling average.
Who do you think won the debate? Vote below in our informal, unscientific poll. Thank you for voting!
You know how you can tell it is left leaning? Lightman goes there 10 times a day. (just kidding) Honestly, all the papers (websites) in South Central PA are left leaning.
Or be quick on the click on the "stop" button while loading.
Did that twice, once on my desktop and once on my iPad...different ISPs, different unscientific voters. HAH!

VIDEO: 22 Oct: Mediaite: Trump Lock Horns as Ex-Veep Says ‘I Would Transition’ America From the Oil Industry
by Ken Meyer
Near the end of the debate, President Donald Trump overran NBC’s Kristen Welker in order to ask Biden “would you close down the oil industry.”
***“I would transition from the oil industry,” Biden answered, which Trump pronounced a “big statement” as Welker asked “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?”...
UPDATE – 12:18 a.m. ET: After the debate, Biden sent out a statement to the media clarifying that the ex-veep was directing his remarks toward oil subsidies.
“We’re not getting rid of fossil fuels. We’re getting rid of the subsidies for fossil fuels, but we’re not getting rid of fossil fuels for a long time. It will not be gone [until] probably 2050.”
The ex-veep insisted that people in the oil industry are “not going to lose their jobs,” and that exploring alternative energy will result in a lot more jobs being created.
Watch above, via CNN.

23 Oct: Daily Mail: Joe Biden promises he WILL start transition away from oil industry by 2050 as he and Donald Trump clash over climate with president saying: ‘I know more about wind than you do - windmills kill all the birds’
Democratic nominee Joe Biden vowed at the debate Thursday to move away from the oil industry toward solar and wind to achieve zero emissions by 2050
‘That’s a big statement,’ Donald Trump said, then called the idea a ‘pipe dream’
By KATELYN CARALLE
‘Would you close down the oil industry?’ Trump asked Biden during a back-and-forth on the environment and energy sources at the debate in Nashville, Tennessee Thursday evening.
‘I would transition from the oil industry, yes,’ Biden affirmed, vowing to put a process in place to do so by 2050 if he were elected.
‘Oh, a transition. That’s a big statement,’ Trump said.
Biden shot back: ‘It is a big statement.’
‘WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?’ the debate moderator, NBC News’ Kristen Welker, cut in.
‘Because the oil industry pollutes it significantly,’ Biden said. ‘Because it has to be replaced by renewable energy – over time, over time...
‘We actually do give them to solar and wind and that is the biggest statement in terms of business, that is the biggest statement because basically what you’re saying – he is destroying the oil industry. Will you remember that, Texas? Will you remember that, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Ohio?’ Trump lamented.
Biden assured reporters before boarding his plane at the Nashville airport after the debate that people in the oil industry would not lose their jobs because there would be more created in the transition toward renewable energy.
‘Eventually we’re going to have to go to oil, but we’re not getting rid of fossil fuels,’ Biden clarified from his debate remarks. ‘We’re getting rid of the subsidies for fossil fuels, but we’re not getting rid of fossil fuels for a long time.’
When pushed on if people would lose their jobs, Biden said, ‘Well, they’re not going to lose their jobs. And besides, they’re gonna...there are a lot more jobs that are gonna be created in other alternatives.’...
‘We are energy independent,’ Trump assured after Biden claimed the ‘fastest growing industry in America’ is solar energy and wind...
The former vice president vowed while remaining on the topic of the environment and energy, that his plan would bring the total emissions to zero by 2050.
‘We have to move toward a net zero emissions,’ Biden said. ‘The first place to do that by the year 2035 is an energy production. By 2050, totally.’...
As Trump went all in against wind energy, he praised solar for being the better option of the two, but claimed it’s not ‘quite there yet.’
‘It’s not powerful yet to really run our big, beautiful factories that we need to compete with the world,’ Trump claimed.
‘False,’ Biden cut-in.
Trump also railed against Biden for his vow to ban fracking, which the former vice president has claimed was taken out of context.
‘He takes everything out of context, but the point is, we have to move toward a net zero emissions,’ Biden said.
Trump slammed the idea as a ‘pipe dream.’...
