*****Presidential Debate #1 Tuesday, September 29, 2020***** (Putin, drug, CNN, FBI)

[ChicagoMeO]

i understand why Trump acted the way he did at Debate 1 - he had to make sure since Biden and the moderator did not bring up the biggest issues with Biden, so Trump made sure he voiced it.

And since there was no rebuttal time, Trump was not going to allow b.s. to proceed without a comment.

Another theory - Biden was wearing some kind of tech akin to an earpiece, and had something attached to his wrist, either a drug pump or else something that gave him hearing to someone speaking to him in secret, so Trump had to be louder than that, this is a theory, of course, but it could be another reason.

Now i do see that Biden puts his own foot in his own mouth, without any help. I do wish Trump woudl allow Biden to do that, by being quiet and letting him blab on. that would still help Trump because Biden would show by his own words what a loser he is and the truth would come out about his policies.

I think the debates should allow more time for the guys to answer and rebut once or twice at most. better less questions and more thorough answers than to get more questions in and nothing gets learned by listening to them.

so the next debate will have a liberal CNN moderator, this should be interesting.

That's the best you can do? If it's true don't deflect -prove it

"And we have quite a number -- and I've said this quite consistently since my first time appearing before this committee -- we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists and some of those individuals self-identify with Antifa."

Wray's words were in response to Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., who claimed prominent Democrats have called Antifa a "fantasy." In July, Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., had dismissed the idea of Antifa violence in Portland as "a myth that's being spread only in Washington, D.C."

hmm.. so you are disputing this quote that I inserted into that post?

WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Thursday that antifa is an ideology, not an organization, delivering testimony that puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, who has said he would designate it a terror group.

or are you just resorting to deflection again?

Wallace finally had enough of Biden, but instead of asking Biden to stop interrupting, he declares that open discussions are now open. This opened up more problems because Wallace was never clear on when open discussions began or ended.

That incident of Biden's interrupting so early in the debate, set the tone for the entire rest of the debate. Biden did the same thing to Ryan in 2012, he kept heckling, smirking and making condescending remarks. Back then all you people thought Biden's rude behavior has glorious. Now that Trump gave it right back to Biden, you people whine about it.

Biden didn't desire a respectful debate with Trump, which is why he started the interruptions. Biden got his wish, and now he and you are whinging and whining about it.

There's no use talking to you, you are such a loyalist that you are unable to even consider for a moment that Trump could make a mistake.
