I heard the blasphemy too. Then later he piously invoked God’s mercy.

As a Christian I was so dismayed. Never heard blasphemy in a debate before.

OH MY GOSH—you just called the President a clown!

That's not going to set well with many voters. Maybe sway undecideds toward Trump.

Judge Jeanine talking about this now. "He told him to shut up, called him a clown ..." (she's talking faster than I can type, lol)

Probably right. Rush has a great mind for what he does, but chemo is horrible

Of course I saw that and that was frustrating. I guess it’s too much to ask that Trump change his approach given the enemy he was facing?

“..finding Biden’s stressors...”

I’d say he found a couple... he pissed Biden off a number of times.

Saw the same thing. Probably a lead to the alleged implant he has to receive transmissions.

Also obvious he had notes of at least favorable msm backing of his prior quotes so they can reinforce the message

We are not the people who cancel those who have a different take on things. We are not snowflakes and can handle uncomfortable truths. We can discuss Trump’s debate performance in its totality bc generally this is not a public campaigning venue where it must be “best foot forward “. In that sense, we are in-house. If that is an imperfect metaphor, oh well.

Well, that IS good news.

Biden really screwed up a few times in spite of Wallace covering for him.

Trump is best, by far, at extemporaneous talks. His rallies are really good.

His brawling in debates is not great, and neither is his scripted speech.

finding Biden’s stressors

Biden has many stressors, most with his own voters.

Indeed Trump knew that Biden had spent months committing those answers to memory and Biden wouldn't be able to address Trump. Petty name calling was all Biden had.

It’s not that we’re cucks, it’s that we recognize Trump did not do well tonight. He interrupted too much and came off as a bully.

I love strength and I love Trump’s strength, but he didn’t do well tonight.

Possibly because of Wallace’s egregious bias and constant interruptions of Trump. I think it rattled the president.

Dilated pupils on Biden?

Stimulants and psychotropic substances most commonly cause pupil dilation. However, this symptom can result from ingesting alcohol, mescaline, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, amphetamines, cannabis, inhalants, narcotics, hallucinogens, bath salts, ketamine, and SSRI antidepressants.

Wallace’s hatchet job as a moderator was absolutely disgusting. I’ll agree this was not one of the president’s better debate performances, but then how many debaters have to go up against their opponent and the freaking moderator too!

While I'm in complete agreement with you regarding Wallace, Trump agreed to Wallace being moderator.

We all knew how it would play out tonight. Did not Trump?

And Wallace, a Never-Trumper, was the best moderator we get this time. The next three debates are moderated by Anti-Trumpers.

The GOP -- even under Trump -- remains the stupid party. This is really the best they could do?

Disgusting!

” was it on Wallace’s original topic list,”
Have no idea, I assume it was though.

I own a website filled with Trump supporters. And yes he was unfairly ganged up on by Wallace and Biden. I just think he had the opportunity to be the teacher and adult in the room rather than have a match of trading school yard insults down on their level.

Well, be fair, I think that was precisely Wallace's and Biden's plan, to not allow Trump to be the adult in the room. Frankly it would be difficult for anyone to keep their composure in that situation.

The most honest take from a liberal blogger And I’ll say it again because Trump is amazing at it… “How do you debate against A chimpanzee screams and yells really loud and throws feces?”

Without help from 500 newspapers.

President Trump is beating them at their own game. The man is a once in a millennium genius.
