HORRIFIED?

LMAO!

I wake up every day thanking God that Trump is President and that he didn’t and still won’t listen to people like you on how to be POTUS, how to debate, how to handle the media, etc.

Well GOOD for Laura for agreeing that Wallace was also out to get the President.

I thought President Trump hit it out of the park with what he said about Blacks out of prison. I could feel the fire of his real live concern and care for Blacks, as opposed to Biden’s past record and rhetoric.
What do you think? Have you gotten any feedback yet from Blacks?

Trump’s incessant interrupting. If he only didn’t do that

Biden couldn't say 4 words without it being a lie or an insult or both.

“How long can he continue being jacked up, however they do it?”

Sometimes I wonder how correct our information is. Four years ago I would have thought Hillary would be dead by now. She seems to still be alive and kicking. If she had won she would be running for a second term and heaven help us with where we would be.

Trump won big tonight.   He kicked both Biden's and Wallace's stupid asses, in spite of all the one-sided "moderating", and interruptions being permitted and unchallenged only when it was Trump being interrupted (by both Biden and Wallace himself many times).

I think many of the "naysayers" on these threads tonight, are the same folks who want Trump to stop tweeting, even though that is one of the most effective tools at his disposal, and he uses it like an artist.   (His tweets are one of the best ways of going around the "mainstream media" liars, and getting the truth out, and the leftist-losers hate those tweets just like some of the posters on FR do.   Those tweets are his version of "fireside chats", and he is very effective with them.)

I also think that many of those here bewailing Trump's debating style tonight, are the same ones who didn't like his debating style against Hillary the last time, and thought he had lost those debates too.   There are even some on these threads tonight who want to coach President Trump on how to debate Biden in the future.   My only question for them would be, how many times have they won the Presidency of the United States?   (President Trump already won that position once, with his own, unique debating style, and he is going to win it again this time, barring any massive, successful fraud and treacherous thievery by the evil thugs on the left.)

Yes, prepped him. He interrupted way too much.
As much as I love watching the President every day, I wanted him to let Biden destroy himself for a few questions.

I think Wallace got to Trump once he saw it was going to be a threesome. I think also he was hoping Wallace would be fair. He wasn't. So Trump went into defense mode understandably so. And it looks like that was the plan..to get Trump riled so Biden didn't have to speak at length.

They need to stop giving the moderator positions to Biased media pundits.....these people are paid to present questions to trip people up depending on their bias and that of their networks.

Biden was holding that pen like a dagger.

Yes!

If their podiums had been any closer, especially when Trump threw Beau* right back in his face ... we might be talking about something else right now, lol

*For those that weren't watching, Biden did what most mediocre politicians do--he tried to exploit a family tragedy to his advantage. In this case, the death of his son Beau. Just shameless. The tone of Biden's voice changed, dropped down an octave. You could tell this was practiced. But Trump was having none of it. "Are we talking about your son Hunter, the one that was kicked out of the Army? Dishonorable discharge? That son?"

Stabby Pen Joe: "I'M TALKING ABOUT BEAU!"

LOL!

I hope he doesn’t. I hope he goes for the jugular next time.

It’s not as if this was a real debate, anyway.

It sure bore little resemblance to the Nixon/Kennedy Debate.

The problem with that strategy though is that Wallace wouldn’t let by destroy himself he was so obviously running interference for Biden that Trump had to press the action.

1) bad debate format, Wallace did bad job moderating, was obviously biased towards Biden.
2) Biden did better than I expected but did have help from Wallace
3) Trump did as I expected.

How will it play out across the country? I don’t know but best guess most people found it tiring and uninformative...learned nothing new tonight about either candidate.
