The talking points are that Trump was rude, he spoke out of turn, and interrupted Biden but, as Yvonne pointed out, Biden was given permission to answer any charges that Trump made while Trump was forced to interrupt in order to clear the record. Chris Wallace has always been blatantly partisan, so I didn't expect anything else. When he interviews a conservative, it's an interrogation but when he interviews a Democrat, it's an infomercial.
Even more questions Biden's eyes are gray not dark but this pictures shows them dark? Now google/darpa has a contact lenses that can print a computer image that can be read to your eye.
.Thinking about it, the real difference in the questioning of the two candidates were the types of questions and what type answer they called for. There were only a couple of questions that Biden was asked that called for a subjective answer but with those, he refused to answer. Everything else was purely objective or rather, his opinions on a subject. The thing about opinions is that they can’t be fact checked nor should they be because they are a person’s personal opinion and may not have any substance of actual fact attached to that objectivity. Donald Trump, on the other hand, had to field subjective subjects the majority of the time which is pretty much understandable because after all, he IS the President and has to account for not only the facts of his administration but his personal life as well. By the end of the whatever it was, he did a good job considering the circumstances involved. The thing is, D. Trump and J. Biden have a track record and that’s what should have been in the debates which is all subjective material and easily fact checked. Joe’s 47 years worth of accomplishments or lack of against Trump’s nearly 4 years of accomplishments or again, the lack of them. To me, although Biden might have enjoyed the questions he was asked, they actually made him into a sort of paper tiger as it were and I’m sure that most Americans who viewed the debate see that.
When I thought of the Biden vs. Ryan debate all I waited for last night at first was Joe's laughing face. He did not disappoint. The minute Trump jumped in, and wouldn't let Biden get a word in edgewise, he began to giggle. Here we go, but, not to be. Whereas Ryan sat morosely by, Trump, trumpeted merrily along slinging and spewing ala a true NY street fighter. He, to my joy, went after Wallace tooth and nail as well. While I agree, Bobby, that Wallace evoked opinions from Biden as opposed to substantive responses to issues, if you noticed, Trump came at him trying to force some substance from Joe. Regarding track records, yes, they have to account for them, but Biden in one instance stated he was no longer an elected official. How pithy of an answer was this? Even Trump attempted to corner him into responding to Wallace's question denouncing Antifa. He flatly refused other than to insist that it was an idea and not an organization. I loved Donnie's reaction to that one. When Biden was momentarily at a loss for words, he'd turn to the camera and appeal to the people to get out and vote. Oh, they will, Joe. He also in a simpering manner invoked the old, "well this is all about you folks, again to camera, and what it means to you." Granted, as debates go, this was not one. No objectivity, just personal attacks provoked by Trump. It was his way to keep Biden off balance, but certainly Robert's Rules of debating was sorely lacking in last nights slug fest. I was stunned when Biden told Trump to shut up, called him a clown and a liar and the worst president in the history of this country. OK, gloves were off, but this went beyond the pale. Donald J. Trump still is the president of the U.S.A. and deserves some measure of respect despite personal feelings.
“don’t compare me with the Almighty...... I am the alternative”. As you all know, I'm not a believer in God - I'm an agnostic. This statement struck me as exceedingly strange. It is almost an announcement to believers in the dark counter-being to God that, yes, here's your man. I side with all believers in a good God of whatever religion to oppose this. I'm sure of less and less as I grow old.
I am sure that Trump felt that he had to because it's not like Chris Wallace was going to hold Biden to account for anything. With the moderator asking the hard questions of Trump, Biden was able to spend his time insulting Trump, while Trump had to spend his time defending himself. Without the interruptions, that's all there would have been.
Maybe there won't be a second debate. If there is maybe there would be no truly neutral moderator to be found. The very most we can hope for is a moderator who at least acts like he's neutral. Wallace was so obvious in his bias that I cringed. His father would have been ashamed.
I heard a guy on TV earlier say that the best addition to the next round might be a trapdoor in the floor.
Uh, does that not say “pre-debate poll? As I see it, in other words, CNN polled 98 democrats and 2 republicans prior to the event in order to get their prognostications of who would win and called it “won”. Why have a debate at all when we have CNN to give us the results before there are any results?
When Chris Wallace stopped Trump from talking about Hunter Biden to interject about climate change, that’s when he should’ve been immediately fired and replaced. Right in the middle of the debate. — DeAnna Lorraine (@DeAnna4Congress) September 30, 2020
