    Yep. Better than watching Mittens Romney "assume the position" for Obama.

    Where? He answered every question asked where'd he get hung? It was Biden who got hung and refused to answer direct question and resorted to throwing the race card.

    There were 6 "segments" with multiple questions in each one. Several of the questions got at least a cursory answer.

    The other poster said Biden is demented because he doesn't remember that his son was dishonorably discharged and said "not true." It turns out that his son was NOT dishonorably discharged so the charge of dementia is totally bogus.

    As Jill Stein pointed out the party of Joe Biden is the party of Wall Street, warmongers and the Walmart economy.

    That is not the military definition of a dishonorable discharge. All that Biden said was that it wasn't true that he was dishonorably discharged, and he is right about it as it was an administrative discharge, not a dishonorable discharge. Then he admitted to the fact that his son has drug problems and is working on it.

    I don't think being correct once about the technical details of his son's drug abuse and dismissal from the military proves that "the charge of dementia is totally bogus". You know people with dementia still have lucid moments, right?

    My understanding in the guard it’s an administration discharge.

    I think he was attempting to scramble his line of thought, cause a flub by distracting him. But it didn't go over well.

    Please list all the special favors Burisma got. There wasn't any, like all sorts of agencies here and in Ukraine have certified. If something had indeed happened it would have been all over the news. Did you know that the prosecutor ended his Burisma probe in 2012, and Hunter Biden was only hired by the company in 2014?

    Donald Trump lost the debate. He was sweating and irritated from the start and couldn't control himself and even engaging in fiery debate with the moderator.

    Joe Biden gave a presidential performance.

    I just emailed the Biden campaign, told them, I see no further need for anymore debates with Trump?!! Trump was discussing and I sure as hell don't want to see another debate like that! Thank You!

    Trump? What an unbelievable disgrace to the Presidency...

    Wallace was a horrible Moderator...

    IF there is to be a 2nd Debate, Trump will need to agree to give the Moderator the power to cut off his mic (if Trump fails to abide by the Rules).

    If Trump is going to spew ridiculous debunked conspiracies, Biden should refuse to debate him again (unless Trump agrees that Trump's mic can be cut off).

    Trump FAILED to Denounce White supremacists.

    Do his supporters actually find that to be a "good" position?:smh:

    And Ryan was even more pathetic that Romney. Biden threw his ad hominem insults on Ryan and Ryan just cringed in fear. I thought he was going to cry.

    To those complaining of Biden calling Trump a clown: Trump started it, saying that Biden is not smart and mocking his college. It's kind of rich for Trump or Trump supporters to complain of disrespectful name-calling because that's what Trump does, all the time. He calls his opponent demeaning terms all the time. He has no right to complain of that when someone gives him a taste of his own medicine.

    Seeing the liberals calling for Biden to skip the next debate is about the clearest verdict on who won that I can imagine.

    And yet the analysts on MSNBC still seem dumbstruck. The fact that Trump is now PRESIDENT, I think may have caused people to expect more of him than when he was still being considered a curiosity, or a joke. And I know I was shocked by how effectively he controlled the situation.

    It wasn't even just that he failed to denounce them. He said "stand back and stand by" which for me is a disqualifying statement. I'd never vote for a president who tells white supremacists to stand by (presumably to engage in more violence if he loses).

    I'll say that's pretty accurate.

    My mind was focusing in on the opening question in each segment, he (wallace) didn't push for a direct answer. Its like he just tossed a frisbee into the middle of the dog park and let them go. Granted he did try.
