1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Post here. Treat this bad boy like a WFT game.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

This is a shit show. They need to treat this like around the horn and give the moderator a mute button. Both talking over each other. Is this really the best we have to offer?

I haven't started watching yet, but I'm 0% surprised by this post.

Throw in the towel Joe, it’s over!
Lololol

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

2 old white male sons of bitches going for president in 2020. This is just weird. Old ass bastards.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Trump literally can't STFU. Like he actually can't do it.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Why won't Biden answer the question about packing the court? It's a yes or no question, and he refuses to answer.

Note - I loved Biden telling Trump to shut up. That was gold!

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Trump won this debate hands down

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

In general, I'm not a fan of Chris Wallace. But I feel bad for that bastard tonight. This is brutal to watch.

Unless you can actually mute people, the format doesn't matter imo.

LOL yes Chico. He won. You can sleep all warm and fuzzy now. Gtfoh. Trump shouted conspiracy theories and lies while he interrupted everyone like an unhinged child. You and Fox news think that is great. The rest of us think he needs meds. Winning a debate has nothing to do with bravado or shitting in people’s necks dude.

That was insane.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

I'll give Democrats credit, their message is drilled into 99.99% of them and they don't waiver.

Listened to a montage of Democrat after Democrat using the word illegitimate to describe the supreme court nominee. Was like listening to robots.

Same with Trump's tax returns, paying less than teachers, paying less than teachers, paying less than teachers. Over and over again. One of us one of us.

I remember growing up, that if we didn't give all our money to government, we would have no police. But now we should all hate cops, so now teacher's are used.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Biden trying to run on buy American and reducing taxes is laughable. C'mon. What has he done in the last 50 years where every American shouldn't laugh at him.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Trump, STFU!!!!!!

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Trump's inability to reach a level of maturity of a 12 year old is embarrassing. Fuck my life. Shut up!!!

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Well we should all realize every politician ever talks a huge game. Comes with the territory. But that was fuckin embarrassing that our President is an unhinged child. Just embarrassing. The country is looking for stability and calm and normal right now. Trump lost that debate. Not because Biden won it, but because Trump lost it. Figuratively and literally.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

I wish i saw this thread earlier dammit. Would have been better because i forget so much shit that happened now. Great idea. Do it for the next one. Gameday debate thread. [emoji106]

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Hilarious that Trump could not shut up even when Wallace was about to ask Biden a tough question along the lines of what Trump was yelling about.

I recorded it and did some pre-debate drinking, which in hindsight was a genius decision, so I'll start it earlier next time. This thread wasn't planned, came up with the idea right around when the debate started.

Both of them talking about understanding the suburbs is awesome.

Any Democrats have any thoughts about Biden tonight that are remotely negative?

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Not sure of who won the debate, but my ears lost it.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Trump Jr. is not necessarily smarter than his dad, but he is definitely a way better speaker. Feel free to hate Jr., as long as you're equally ready to call out Biden's son getting rich for absolutely nothing. Why is the Trump family corrupt but the Biden, live off taxpayer money, for 47 years money electable? This is a rhetorical question. We ALL know the answer. As long as he has that D next to his name we should be happy to send him a check.

There is literally nothing more surprising in the world than you coming here and shitting on Trump. NOTHING!

And now I'm actually concerned for your sanity:

"LOL, are you surprised? ............and people want to know why they are riots in the streets , becuase the president told them too that's why."

Are you delusional or just a compulsive fucking liar? Anyone that buys this bullshit statement can just block me.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Summary:

Chico, how do you measure what winning the debate is? Is it not letting your opponent ever talk cleanly without interrupting? Is it measured in the # of votes gained? Because if it's the former, he definitely won. If it's the latter, it's etiher a wash or a loss.

Agree with Baltimoreskins - this is the best we have in 2020? Biden is old AF, and takes too long to gather his thoughts into coherent sentences. Somebody 30 years younger would've wiped the floor with Trump's nonstop talking ass. This truly is a vote for a lesser evil. I really don't expect Biden to do anything to shake up the system if he wins. It will just be a return to "normalcy" or as much normal as it can get in this COVID world.

The one point Biden made that I agreed with was calling for police and minorities to come together to work out their issues. I think both sides have legit concerns that need to be acknowledged. And Trump's failure to fully denounce racism and his racist supporters like white supremacists/Proud Boys/etc. is not going to win him any new supporters.

I don't even know that they will agree to another debate because Trump clearly has no intention of letting anyone talk without interjecting.

This is a recent phenomenon. They showed clips of Kerry and Bush debating and it was how it should be civilized. Two Americans discussing what they think is best for the country. Not what we saw last night.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Trump is not trying to get re elected. He is trying to consolidate power. He literally called on terrorist groups to “stand by”. Junior took out an add calling on “armies” to get to the polling places. Put judges in place to fight the results into his favor. Manipulate the post office. This is what a dictator does when they try to gain power in a non democracy. And people like Chico who applaud it are as American as Moscow.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Only winner might have been our biggest enemy Russia.

Trump couldn't let any one get in a word edge wise. Throughout conspiracy theories one after another and when he did make a legitimate point he NEVER continued down that road. Instead went back to his conspiracy theories. His message was confusing. Was he trying to win suburban moms like we've been told? That didn't do it.

Biden held himself more distinguished but that wasn't too hard. Did let Trump get under his skin. He should never of segued back to his kids when answering questions but when he did he should have followed up more about Hunter's drug addiction battle. That would resonate with a lot of Americans. Overall I thought he was weak in the debate if the Republicans had someone with a clear policy message Biden would have been toast. He didn't attack Trump on things such as job loss in the energy sector. He also fell way short of explaining why coal and oil fired power plants shouldn't be created going forward. Why defunding the police means they will have additional supports etc. etc.

Personally I was disappointed on the lack of time and acknowledgment of climate change. Dealing with climate change is a job creator and a revenue saver. It is a win win. Both fell woefully short.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

I thought Biden was pretty clear about the jobs created by renewable energy. As clear as he could be with a guy having a temper tantrum next to him.

So what exactly do you think he means when he said this, "Proud boys stand back and stand by?"

You're just pissed because trump came off looking every bit the orange faced clown we all know he is.

I agree that nobody really came out a winner but Biden proved he can stand toe to toe with trump .That scares trump.

SD man i like ya too much to block you but im not sure how you can discount the dog whistles and innuendo that Trump spews? He absolutely without a shadow of a doubt has consistently had the chance to sew unity and ask for peace and admit that there is racial inequality. Instead he sews discord and panders to his base and incites violence with his rhetoric. Fine people on both sides? Last night told a known white supremacist group to stand pat? Come on man. Nobody is arguing the fact that a few bad apples take advantage of this situation by looting or starting fires but Trump has yet to denounce the extreme right for their acts of violence. This is not theory. This is happening in plain sight.

1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

All Trump had to do was acknowledge the racial inequality and people would at least know they are being heard and seen. But he knows (and you know) that he cannot do that. His base consists of every racist in the country. No i did not say his entire base is racist. It is a fine line he has to walk not to alienate them, and as time marches on he becomes less careful about walking a fine line. Culminating in him telling them last night in front of the world to “stand pat”.
Because he was put in a corner. If you do not think he wants these terrorist right wing white nationalist extremist groups to disrupt peoples rights to vote you are not paying attention.

Re: 1st Presidential Debate Thread
 

Deep inside Trump probably doesn’t hate minorities or share the views of these racist extremists BUT he knows they are his ticket to power and is willing to overlook what is right or wrong to get it. Or he does share their views. Either way it is dangerous and wrong.
