Trump won't be silenced by this farce.
So in the next debate Trump needs to focus more on interrupting and talking over, while ignoring the moderator?

Just let Joe talk man... ask him to explain his tax plan.

#TRUMP2020

P.S.

In Trump’s defense it didn’t really help he was having to debate Wallace too. The guy may as well have been wearing a Biden hat... Trump came off as a bully... and Joe came off as weak IMO. He looked pale and sickly... and as far as the issues he had no answer for Trumps law and order speech... and had no answer when asked to name a police agency that endorses him.

Now let Joe talk man... maybe next time he won’t quickly correct himself like when he said 200M Covid deaths... (again)
But he didn't. Trump failed at this first debate. He made Biden look great. Trump would have been wise to not attack constantly. There is early voting going on everywhere in the country. This debate certainly didn't help Trump.

Yes, how "we he?"


Such a great question.

Noticed something today and you are the 100th example. All the Trump supporters say it was Wallace's fault and Biden supporters say it was Trump's fault. Nobody is blaming Biden for the disaster and that says a lot actually.

Most of us listen to the rules and follow them so don't blame Wallace. When have we ever seen such a disaster like this in a presidential debate. Should he have tackled Trump to make him shut up.

Basically if your take away from the debate was that the problem was Wallace, it just reflects poorly on your own capacity for reason.

All true, but Biden performed poorly as well.

The reality is that Wallace grilled Trump more than Biden. But that doesn't make it less well balanced. When Wallace called out Biden on his public healthcare plan (and other issues), Biden responded directly to the question. Trump repeatedly fail to address Wallace's questions and that led to Wallace focusing more on Trump to get an answer. Wallace called out both candidates, Trump just responded poorly.

Biden is horrible on stage, and was without a doubt, set to fail this debate. Trump managed to mask that with his childish behavior. I could not have seen that coming.

Such partisan tactics on the part of the moderators and lack of objectivity have FORCED what we saw last night. Had Wallace been impartial, the debate would have been far more civil. Biden, of course, still would have melted down and insulted Trump, as he is demented and can't help it. However, Trump would not have had THE NEED to interrupt if Wallace conducted a fair debate.

Want a "fair" debate? INSIST on an impartial moderator, not just another democrat participant in the debate.
No doubt, Sean Hannity would be a damned good moderator to you.

Nah... Biden still looked like a half embalmed corpse whether you care to admit it or not. My home theater cost as much as a car... I viewed the debate in the best picture quality. It even showed Trumps orange.

Both candidates looked bad in their own way. To say Biden came out smelling like roses is a biased view. He still had no answers for pretty much every topic discussed. At the end of the day that’s all I care about... as do many others. If you believe the Hispanic post debate numbers Trump destroyed Biden... I hear they like alpha males LOL...
