(5,123 posts)There is no reason there should be another one of these debacles. This is not a debate. trump is not trying to debate. It will be more of the same. Left wing, Hunter Biden, Antifa, Bernie, Green New Deal. He's not even debating anything Biden says. Not debating the policies Biden has proposed. This is just an insult to the public. This is not how a debate works.

(6,019 posts)Biden did well, despite that assholes ravings and Chris Wallaces failure as a moderator.
Dump is helping ensure his loss and will continue to do so in subsequent debates. If Biden refuses the next debates, the whole Republican propaganda machine will never stop bashing Biden over it. Figure it out, people.

(297,167 posts)Really.. I read about what CW said to the Psycho.. Did he have any questions he thought Biden might like?
trump also apparently needed his Depends changed, too.
And, too bad for CW.. sucking up didn't work. trump is Blaming him for his very bad debate performance.
Worst debate moderator ever!

And no one should have to watch any more debates if they don't want to.
BUT I think Biden needs to insist on going on with all the debates, as planned. There's a saying, "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
Dump obviously HATES the debate format because it forces him to engage with people who don't agree with him and don't kiss his ass. He doesn't handle that well, never has. He gets unhinged. He has meltdowns. He looks like an angry old drunk uncle who tries to start a food fight because someone asked him not to use racial slurs at the dinner table.
Biden had his moments of getting heated too, but he was SO MUCH BETTER at being the responsible adult in the room, and that way of talking directly to the camera to address the American people head on and bypassing Dump's bluster, I thought was VERY effective.

Passionate, both of them.

(25,963 posts)It really was that bad, that disgraceful. I am torn about whether it's worthwhile to have another debate. On the one hand, why give trumps narcissistic bullying any more oxygen? On the other, why let him get away with destroying yet another of our political norms? Make him own it, make him throw his tantrums again so that people can see how idiotic, useless, and unsuited to the presidency he is.
Either way, what a mess. trump has go to GO.

(1,725 posts)... but of course that gives that lying psychopath the excuse to say Joe is afraid of him - and he'll be backed by his amoral GOP and his lunatic cult members. When Jill Biden simply tweeted "Joe is ready," the unbelievable number of bot tweets popped up immediately after she tweeted - stupid, ignorant, redundant tweets that were obviously not really his asinine followers. Too many "for bed?" and "earphone" tweets that got boring quickly - 25 in a row. Pathetic.

Great dark comedy with lots of introspection about the nature of life and death and the connections we make in life.
