Having said that Biden came across well, a calm person who chuckled at Trump's idiocy.
I agree.

No, its a fact!

Neither looked good, but Trump didn't call any names.

Biden did a good job of firing up the Republican base. Lost any goodwill.

Both played to their bases.

I can't even tell if there was a winner or not. Both men looked bad to me. Makes me want to vote third party. Maybe Pence and Harris will do better and there will be some substance.
Then join me in voting third party. The only other party on the presidential ballot in my state is the Libertarian Party, so I'm voting that way in protest.

Yeah. Biden was equal to the insult task. It was a tie in that regard.

Watched entire thing and yes he did and the Proud Boys aren't a white supremacist group. They have HUNDREDS of nonwhite members but you would know that if you read or watched something other than MSNBC and CNN.

It went exactly the way I expected. I am no fan of Biden but I detest Trump and Biden did an admirable job deflecting Trump's bullying without getting too rattled and seemed pretty clear headed. The pundits said the debates didn't help Biden. I disagree. I was very impressed that he kept his cool most of the time and he got in some great zingers. Chris did a terrible job of moderating. They should have turned Trump's mike off when he kept interrupting.

I am just calling it like I see it. Trump was thinking on his feet. Biden was trying to remember what he has been practicing for a week. That is pretty obvious. I am not voting for Trump because I am in a very strong red state and I like the Libertarian candidate much more than these two. But I think this will give a boost for Trump.

Ahhh.... thanks for clarifying. I was just a bit shocked to see a favorable comment from you regarding Trump... and I agree btw.

Bottom line is Biden had no answers for a lot of Trump’s comments. Still... as the analysts just said... the one thing Trump needs to do in the next debate is let Biden hang himself. A good way to do that is to ask Biden about his tax plan. Biden is stuck trying to please both the far left Democrats and the moderate Democrats... and he can’t do both. Trump should just let Biden talk and once the voters hear it come from his mouth... he’s done.
