    When Trump carries on like a chicken with his head cut off constantly unchecked it's hard to be good.....

    Trump accomplished his objective: he sounded STRONG, & cruised through 90 minutes keeping his points to highly-abridged Trump-Notes.

    Even MSNBC's lauded analyst, Rachel Maddow, just admitted she was completely unprepared for this, & is clearly, with 90 minutes to prepare, still uncertain of how to approach her analysis.

    Biden endorsed the Green News Deal. Tonight he rejected it.

    Neither deserve respect when they act like petulant children.

    With a debate opponent like Trump there’s no point in addressing his opponent. I thought it effective to make a point to talk to the American people.

    I kept saying, Biden is not a radical leftist and he just beat Bernie by millions of votes, and just disagreed with AOC in all words in front of the whole country. You guys think too much of AOC. She is a young, inexperienced, not very smart house representative and she has 3 buddies in that squad, a tiny tiny minority in the Democratic caucus. She's strident but that's about it. I said many times here, Biden is not being manipulated by the left. He's his own person. Like he said, he is now the leader of the party. Not Bernie. Not AOC.

    For me, the "stand back and stand by" is disqualifying. No American president should say that to a white supremacy group. If we the people re-elect this guy, we are collective out of our minds.

    I think you misunderstood Maddow. Folks didn’t expect this shift show. Heck even Fox called it a pick em.

    He certainly did seem strong and did exactly as expected.

    I think it lacks the shock value that used to have though. I recall the Republican debates in prep for 2016, where he came out of nowhere. The decimation!

    Yes, he did. He said, "That is not my plan. The Green New Deal is not my plan."

    No. Biden was talking about Beau, and Trump said he was dishonorably discharged (Trump mixed up Biden's two sons) and that's what Biden said "not true" to.

    I see at the end Biden's evil spouse came out with a stupid mask on. Biden made it standing for the whole time, I guess drugs do work after all.
    I think Wallace did a bad job. Stupid questions, and he let both men off quite a bit and didn't follow up hardly at all.

    Bottom line:
    Republicans: Trump destroyed Biden
    Democrats: Biden destroyed Trump
    MSM: Biden never looked more presdential, its over, the walls are closing in, Biden will win in a landslide.

    Super bottom line:
    No one's vote was changed tonight. No one.

    Don't plan on getting your broken legs fixed under the Trump "Health plan".... I think the medical treatment for your condition under his plan is "Suck it up, Snowflake"

    Vote early if you can.. We did and feel very good about that decision tonite...

    The purposefully try and find someone saying something radical and attach it to Biden even if he specifically says that's not his stance they still carry on (see tonight's debate)

    It's because it isn't. It's AOC's plan. Like I've been saying, Biden is NOT a radical leftist.
