I Love Joe Biden, but....

[DemUnleashed]

I absolutely love Joe Biden, but why didn't he bring up Ivanka and Trumps' other corrupt children at least once when Trump kept calling out Hunter Biden??!

[LuckyCharms]

1. Because he is the better man.

[PatSeg]

34. Absolutely

[TwilightZone]

2. Two wrongs don't make a right.

And this election isn't about their children.

[LakeArenal]

3. There were more important issues.

[RandySF]

4. He's too classy for this campaign.

[Rule of Claw]

5. Because it is not about Trump's family or his family

it is about our families.

The moment that won the debate IMO.

12. Are you Male or Female?

Just wondering, because I think that one will be a big one for Suburban women. Welcome to DU

[Rule of Claw]

15. Male.

[rufus dog]

20. Thanks, my wife didn't say much

but that was her favorite moment too.

And she is DISGUSTED by the Stand Down, Stand By line. She really wasn't aware of Proud Boys, given a bit of background she was even further disgusted. And yes, she is the stereotypical Suburban Woman Voter.

[MFGsunny]

6. Because he didn't need to swim in MF45's sewage. n/t

[Music Man]

7. He did toss it out there, I believe.

And he used it to pivot by saying, "This election isn't about our families, it's about your family."

[pfitz59]

28. He did pivot with Trump's family

and Trump got all outraged with how much his family has sacrificed

[GP6971]

8. He's too decent of a person

to do that.

[MaryMagdaline]

9. Decency is who he is

As much as I hate those cheating bastards, trump destroyed his kids by bringing them into his crime business.

[vercetti2021]

10. You and another poster posted the exact same shit

That's kind of coincidental isn't it

[Sogo]

27. Not at all.

They probably have a set of 3X5 cards to choose from.

[vercetti2021]

29. Most likely

Like c'mon I can catch that shit 10 miles away

[Sogo]

30. Yup...

[beachbumbob]

11. Biden score points big time because he didn't

[SharonClark]

13. He didn't have the opportunity.

If given the opportunity, Biden should call out Ivanka and Jared because they’re part of the administration. They’re more than children.

[Statistical]

14. Biden did great.

While watching I was annoyed at how restrained Biden was and how many times Trump interrupted him but in the shower where I do my best thinking I thought more about it ...

Biden is up in the polls. He doesn't need to score every point. He just need to avoid Trump from scoring and run out the clock. Whatever that was that Trump did for 90 minutes didn't gain him a single net vote and he needs millions.

Biden is a smart operator. He knows what he is doing.

[SharonClark]

17. I agree. Biden handled it well.

[texasfiddler]

16. To be honest, the only thing people are going

To remember about this debate was Trump was an abusive, white supremacist loving, interrupting asshole. About 41% of the country loved it and the rest not so much.

[Hekate]

18. Because he has some class

[dawg day]

19. I thought it was kind of effective--

He hinted that he could say something about Trump's kids, but... let it drop. The hint was there.

I wanted more about the taxes!!!

[Turbineguy]

21. Once he's President

there will be time for a reckoning

[Raine]

22. He has CLASS, that's why! 👍 nt

[Native]

23. He did, he said something like if he brought up Trump's children he'd be talking all night.

[DLCWIdem]

25. Couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Because the wind bag wouldn't shut up

[ecstatic]

31. I wanted him to go harder at times, BUT I've been watching post

debate reactions, and even with Biden's mild push-back, the media seems to be doing their "both sides" crap again. As in, "both sides" were rude and disrespectful and made the debate terrible. So can you imagine what they'd be saying if Biden lowered himself to trumpig's level?

[Denzil_DC]

32. Because, to paraphrase Biden, straight to camera

"The audience don't want to near about your family or mine, but their families.

I thought that knocked it out of the park.

Going after Ivanka et al. under Trump's goading would have seemed petty and just ended up in more jibber-jabber crosstalk, eating up time for other issues.

[DemUnleashed]

33. I get it

I get it...Biden is a class act but it was killing me the number of times drumpf was bringing up Hunter

Someone had asked if I was male or female...I'm a female

And someone welcomed me to the group....thank you!

[ooky]

35. That's probably why I like Joe so much.

He has class.
