The Best Biden Lines of the Debate

Last edited Wed Sep 30, 2020, 07:46 AM - Edit history (1)

“Will you shut up, man?”

“That was really a productive segment, wasn’t it? Keep yappin’, man.”

“You are the worst president that America has ever had”

“The fact is that everything he’s saying so far is simply a lie. I’m not here to call out his lies. Everybody knows he a liar”

“It’s hard to get any word in with this clown – excuse me, this person”

“President Trump wouldn’t know a suburb unless he took a wrong turn.”

‘‘It is what it is, because you are who you are”

"He's Putin's puppy"

“Maybe you can inject some bleach into your arm, that would take care of it.”

“This isn’t about his family or my family, It’s about your family.”

BOOM BOOM SHAKE THE ROOM

I was proud of Biden he was prepared, focused kicked his ass ; liked that he spoke right to the cameras to America. He's a good, kind decent person who cares about this country. Bet you $1.00 el pendejo donthe con cancels remaining debates.

topic of coronavirus. Biden made the point that the economy won't improve until the virus is controlled and that many more people will die unless Trump smartens up in his handling of it.

Not verbatim, but as close as I could make out and remember in the chaos.

A difficult format. He had to interrupt just to remain competitive. He got his points across, performed rapid-fire fact checking on-the-fly, did it with dignity and class. Joe brought his A-game.

There should be no more debates. They will only turn off voters. Debates as a Trump Anger Festival is a disgrace to the office.

Chris Wallace was steamrolled. It's not that he wasn't prepared, it's that he's a journalist and a learned man. You know how Trump likes journalists.

in spite of Trump's obvious attempt to derail him. And Biden got in some good zingers in the process. At one point, after a really long rant by Trump, Wallace asked Biden if he wanted to go ahead and answer a question Trump had brought up and Biden asked which question? What was the question? Wallace chuckled and said, in agreement with Biden, "I'm having a hard time following that myself."

I was proud of the contrast in knowledge, demeanor, and having a message that Biden demonstrated in comparison to Trump's wild rants.

Trump sounded and acted like he was hyped up on drugs. Biden sounded like a rational person who would make a good president for all the people.

Trump uses the ruse of constant interruption because he is not -- and never will be -- prepared to debate the issues. Another "debate" would be more of the same. Only next time "President" von Clownstick might give a shout out to the Ku Klux Klan.

Trump had no decorum at all, and he was rude and petulant the entire evening. He was obviously angry, and would listen to no one, even Chris Wallace.

For some reason, that photo of Trump sitting at a meeting with Merkel, Macron, and other leaders while they all stand around him came to mind. Trump has his arms crossed and Merkel is leaning toward him. I suspect they had all just been subjected to Trump’s tactics of talking over everyone and telling outrageous lies about NATO and they were having none of it. No wonder they all despise him.

Wallace told Trump something like be quiet and wait your turn to speak. Then Biden said, “Aww, he doesn't know how to do that.” Like he was a toddler! I was rolling!

Trump's too dumb to know this of course. Plenty of minorities live in the suburbs because why not? It's often cheaper than cities which have experienced gentrification/redevelopment. You would think a brilliant real estate billionaire would know this.
