Tonight, the soon-to-be-president, Joe Biden, pulled off one of the most incredible feats ever

[mtnsnake]

He made it through more than 90 minutes in the same room with the psychopathic lying piece of sweat-shit without diving across the room and pounding the snot of that fucking blowhard. I don't know how in hell Joe did it, but he deserves a mountain of credit for pulling it off.

1. No shit

That took incredible self-control

[katusha]

2. The Patience of Joe n/t

3. lol No shit!

4. The Biden team knew what Trump would try to do.

Biden acted accordingly and presented a clear alternative.

As Kamala Harris said, Joe demonstrated the difference between here's what you have and here's what you could have if you vote.

I couldn't have done it.

9. Joe is a good guy first and foremost. Thats what people saw. nt

11. Biden responded enough to seem human and not a doormat.

But apart from a couple of heated outbursts ("clown", "shut up" ), he held it together well and his willingness to give way to Wallace at times made the contrast between him and Trump even more glaring.

I found it hard to keep my own thoughts together during Trump's endless tirades, so I've no idea how Biden managed it onstage.

12. Starkest contrast ever - incredible self control versus someone frighteningly out of control

[Roy Rolling]

13. He should have trolled him

If I were Joe, I’d have wandered all over the stage when Trump was talking, and stalk him from behind.

Joe doesn’t need to prove anything, add some flair. 😂😂

14. I was ready to bail about 3 minutes in.

This 90 minutes is likely the longest I have watched Trump. I typically avoid looking at of listening to him.

15. Need to

Cut trumps mic when it’s time for Joe Biden to respond to moderator question

16. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[StarryNite]

17. Yes he did!

[proud patriot]

18. My husband Expressed this very thing

[BigmanPigman]

19. I could not have gone 3 minutes without diving across the lectern.

[nilram]

20. Yah. Anyone else on the world stage would be peanuts in comparison.

[calimary]

21. Can't wait to cast another vote for him!

This time as President, not Vice President.

[ffr]

22. tRump was out of control, like a speed crazed drug addict.

He couldn't stand still for 2 seconds. I was almost hopful Joe did jump him for talking over everything he had to say.

Wallace should have turned tRump's microphone off, but instead just let his rage filled verbal diarrhea come spilling out. He was off the rails.

Couldn't help but to think the whole time though, what is tRump on???

23. My biggest worry - and I KNOW this is silly

But remember how Trump was always hanging out behind Hillary trying to intimidate her? I can honestly picture Trump feeling like he needs to up his game by being more physically threatening to the point that he does a quick step toward Biden or even raises a fist when things get heated between them. And not to say Biden couldn't take him in a fight, but the natural, almost impossible-not-to-do thing is take a step back or defend yourself in some way, and that would get a lot of air time and could just as easily make Joe look weak as much as Trump look like an asshole.

And even though I know it's silly... y'know, it's freakin' 2020. C'mon. It's more likely this year than any other year since the days when our politicians were getting into duels, beating would-be assassins with canes, and challenging random people to boxing matches.

26. Trump makes a move, and Jill's right there before he can take two steps toward Joe.

[TlalocW]

27. Yeah, don't want to be sexist

But to be sexist, that won't help.

24. Did anyone notice that donny got more upset when Biden

was being calm and polite than when Biden did his small lash outs at him?

[H2O Man]

25. Recommended.

[Progressive dog]

28. Trump is a unique person,

he is a psychopathic narcissist who has never learned to control his hatred of everyone who dares oppose his desires. Joe stood up for decency and democracy without showing fear

[honest.abe]

29. Indeed. I am so proud of that man.

[nolabear]

30. Imagine each of those men dealing with a potential nuclear war.

Who would you want?

[malaise]

31. I loved how he laughed at the killa Con

[Arthur_Frain]

32. Chumpster obviously did a bit of speed before the debate to tune up.

Joe probably had to hit the speed bag for a bit after the debate to cool down.
