Trump has shown his cards. Biden's team can now watch the tape and figure out what worked and what didn't, and they'll be better prepared for the next one.

Meanwhile, it seems like the overall takeaway is that Trump was horrible and didn't do anything to help his election chances. That's because his performance in the debate tonight was just like his performance as president -- which is coincidentally what people don't like about him.

It probably won't help him any to turn up at another one of these and turn in another performance like this -- yet, that is the only thing he is capable of doing.

I think it's smart for Biden to look confident coming out of the debate, and put the pressure on Trump.

only big fans of loud-mouths will might him. He came across like a sour and surly caricature of Archie Bunker, who was himself a caricature.
