Right. There would need to be two buzzers, not “a” buzzer.

I didn’t (couldn’t) watch the debate — just followed along on FR thread. But did I read that Joe mentioned the Charlotte lie AGAIN (which has been debunked even by left-leaning Snopes)?

It’s crucial to remember that what imploded debate night was not just candidate
Joe Biden, but the obliteration of a cheap, carefully constructed Democrat facade.
<><>Biden is not “wise, strong and as alert as ever.”
<><>he’s not “all right.”
<><>his age-related infirmities are not a “wicked lie.”
<><>the economy is not “thriving.”
<><>the border is not “secure.”
<><>foreign policy and national defense are not “The Best They’ve Ever Been.”
<><>our beloved country is not “fine” under Joe Biden.

Even more frightening is to think that Biden actually makes any decisions
at all, much less on the fly, which is what a President is supposed to do.

Debate night Joe was befuddled, bewildered with nowhere to turn. We should be worried. All of our countries’ enemies saw that we have no functioning president. You can bet they now smell blood. Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un were all watching and are making plans accordingly.

The deep state, democrats and their media allies have put our country closer to peril than ever before with the stunt they pulled debate night, and Biden couldn’t stop it even if he had the intellectual acuity needed to accomplish it.

This Democrat cabal under Joe Biden, has given us government by secret committee and it doesn’t work.

Look at Hollywood that industry is a mess. They can’t make a movie real or animated that people pay to see. Academia can’t get students to pay for Ivy League brainwashing anymore. The Liberal propaganda is failing worldwide and now the media is going bankrupt too. They will be soon making the Movie The Last Paperboy/person.

Yes. The format worked very well. Comments here are about politics, not format. I hate CNN, they are the worst example of a “news” outlet. But they leveled the playing field with this format that highlighted the debaters and what they were saying. You could clearly see differences...snd that is the purpose of a debate format.

CNN kept it tame. Didn’t abuse.

So everyone will say format is OK.

But then they can use same format, and all the tricks we anticipated, next time, with Joe (if he is around or whomever).

“..”Trump is just lying and making stuff up but he says it ‘vigorously’ and doesn’t get fact-checked. Therefore he’s winning,” Kelly wrote, adding, “We’ll spend the next month debating Biden’s age rather than Trump’s staggering incompetence.”..”

So just how many Trillionaires are there?
which is greater 1.9% or 10%
so what is the cost of insulin these days?

“ The debate format was tailored to give Biden an advantage.”

In what way?

Who came up with the idea to have no audience? They could not have thought Biden would do better with no audience.

Im sure Trump allowed whatever format they wanted without hesitation . He was probably thinking‘I can win this debate eithe both hands tied behind my back

Notice they claim only Trump lied. Biden lied about the percentage of inflation when he took office and said it was 9% but it was actually 1.4%. He lied when he said no troops died under his admin. He lied and said 40% drop in illegal border crossings, lower then when Trump was President.

And for the buzzer, who gets to decide that it’s a lie?

I found Erin of CNN comment most telling, she said, “I can’t believe Biden did so bad when he knew what was coming”

There also are indications Biden had an ear piece.

++++++++

And if you look back a couple of days prior to the debate, a good portion of our FR brethren were saying how stupid Trump was to agree to this debate. This debate was a God-send so that the voting masses can see what they are voting for.

The down side - Biden more than likely won't be the nominee.

“a good portion of our FR brethren” are anti Trump trolls.

Trump is a winner. You go back to 2015 to see who was saying that. Anyone who doesn’t know that by now is not paying attention. They either have some game to run or they go for the shiny objects the media holds up. Or both.

Had the same thought, too “Why isn’t she asking Joe also?” Like 2016, the question already presumes two negatives about Trump.

There will be fraud. If The turnout for Trump is so overwhelming to overcome it, is there any question whether the Biden legal team will fight through courts and hack judges? No. But then, it will be “fighting for our democracy.”

"Trump is just lying and making stuff up...

I have heard this over and over again, but never with specific examples. What did he lie about?

Heard a pod cast from O’Reilly and he claims from very high source that the president of CNN told the hosts NOT to permit their personal feelings towards Trump to interfere with the debate.

I never watch these things either. Why get aggravated? Obviously, the Soros paid propaganda machine chose Hillary’s narrative that you can’t debate a liar. Of course they’re accusing Trump of what they are doing. Biden told huge whoppers like being endorsed by the border patrol and the debunked C-ville and suckers lies.
