    Trump brought up Hunter was dishonarably discharged for cocaine use, Biden said that was a lie. Does he think no one knows that or did the dementia kick in?

    Meh.

    Trump supporters will think Trump won.
    Biden supporters with think Biden won.

    Any polls of independent swing voters will be interesting.

    And Biden has insulted and called Trump names. Both are examples of poor behavior. Just because one does something doesn't mean you respond in a similar fashion. Quit actint like children.

    I’m sure we’ll see a break down soon enough.

    I disagree...I think that Trump was defending himself from, frankly some headlines, that Biden merely repeated

    I think that he did a poor job of it

    He could of done better

    I'd say Chris Wallace lost that debate.

    He wasn’t dishonorably discharged.

    It's a wrap!

    Great to see that all of a comments about Biden being senile, not being able to hold out, not being able to make it were extremely exaggerated. He held it with one of the toughest debators in the political game.

    Trump did well, except for when he started angrily talking over everyone and becoming a bully. Straw man behaviour to rile his base but it won't help him secure middle ground votes imo

    I'm still sitting on my wife... she charged our 56 inch TV trying to attack Trump.

    I'm telling her that's not possible over the TV.

    Biden won, but he's not much of a debater...

    The last question... Will you tell your side to stand down and not declare victory until the end? Just answer "yes" and stop there.... He didn't...

    True. Plenty of Bidens responses came out like a Campaign speech appealing to voters instead of a debate at times.

    Warm and caring about the American people, not his opponent, of course.

    I'd say he was the perfect gentleman. Measured responses where appropriate to either side interrupting.

    People who watch Fox News would probably disagree because they are used to Trump pandering.

    Again, warm and caring about the people, not the opponent. Appropriately so, because the opponent said "stand back and stand by" to a white supremacy group, and tried to attack the integrity of the elections all the time. The opponent doesn't deserve respect.

    He said he was for the Green New Deal. Under pressure he caved. That was a bad move.

    Moderators should be able to turn off speaker's microphones if they can verbally keep debaters from talking over each other.

    Trump fell into Chris Wallace's trap, but Biden didn't do
    No. Trump was debating Biden as well as Wallace, so I think he held his own.

    I doubt anyone on this forum was in danger of changing their mind tonight.
