    This whole debate seems like such a mistake/gamble on both sides. The press is going to run wild with any “senility-looking” blunders either candidate makes. I dunno why either party agreed to a debate. We are already very familiar with both candidates.

      If you watched the first one you’d know why.

      I’m watching just to see Biden tell trump to shut the fuck up again.

      Trump got his ass kicked.

        I lived in a very rural area back then, I know a friend whose family was all watching that debate together in their living room, all hard-core Trump supporters of course. That debate literally made them so sad they turned off the TV mid debate, it broke my friend free from being a MAGA diehard.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if the Biden campaign saw something like that reflected in polling, even marginally, and is trying to recreate it.

    This is an awful, awful move by the Biden campaign. He can only lose. Giving Trump legitimacy is a huge mistake. He’s a fucking traitor and the president of the United States should not be debating him.

    Nevermind the fact that Trump doesn’t really debate he just spews diarrhea.

    Feels like a blunder. Westerners/ Americans generally look left to right (because of the way we read). They also lost the closing statement. The headline seems stupid at first, but I think this is a blunder by the Biden campaign. It’s a small one, but this is going to be a close election. Every decision matters.

      The entire Biden campaign is “not Trump”. The most powerful closing statement Biden can make is to let Trump spout gibberish until getting abruptly cut off by the shot caller in the video booth.

        2024: “Not Trump”

        2020: “Not Trump”

        2016: “Not Trump”

        God I’m tired of it. I know its the better option, lesser of two evils, I’m going to vote for Biden if I live to November, but we act shocked when we get evil when we vote for lesser evil.
