U.S. Presidential Debate Thread READ OP

I'm going to bed. I'd rather the election thread wasn't 20,000 pages long when I wake up. Talk about the old people shouting at each other here.

Here's the CSPAN stream. If you're wondering why there's no sound at the moment it's because they don't run constantly nattering commentators.

If I wake up to something stupider than I expected tomorrow morning Bogart has my permission to tell The Queen I've submitted our reapplication to the empire.

Edit: Do not make posts without a minimal amount of content.. Nobody cares about your “Oh fuck!” Or “Holy shit!” posts. If all you have is a reaction then there’s buttons for that on people’s posts with actual content.

    Chris Wallace sucks already and we havent started. At least no handshake.

  • HeirHeir Ausitn, TXRegistered User regular
    Glad no handshake. Also I guess kudos to Wallace for saying no one gave the candidates questions beforehand?

    For those of us not watching the debate for our own sanities, can we get context around your reactions?

    Trump has bad hair and he spent like, $70,000 a year on hairdressing as per his tax records the NYT reported on.

    tbh the Republican case for appointing a supreme court justice is one of their stronger areas and spending time on it is bad for Biden

    It's bad for the icon of bad hair though.

    Biden needs to get his feet. Pissing him off is going to get him together fast. Bi can see now that I'm looking for it where he struggles with his stutter.

    Biden already tossing out the 200k covid deaths

  • JuggernutJuggernut Registered User regular
    "Of the 200,000 people who died on his watch, how many survived?"

    Uh...

  • Mild ConfusionMild Confusion Smash All Things Registered User regular
    I’m not impressed with Biden’s opening. He’s not being as clear as he could be and letting Trump talk over him.

    Stop smiling and hit back Joe!

    Wallace ain’t gonna do shit!

    Trump is kind of hammering him so far. It's hard to watch. He keeps interrupting Biden and Joe isn't doing much to stop it.

    It’s judicial, but segwayed to Obamacare and Trump is arguing with Wallace.

    Wallace is putting up more of a fight than Biden so far.

    Wallace is one of the worst moderators I have ever seen.

    Christ, Trump.

    Arguing with the moderator belligerently and refusing to let him finish his question is... a strategy.

    The fact that they have never just said fuck it and cut mics when needed makes these moderators toothless

    Oh god is this where we lose it? Biden is all over the place. They are good points but he's not articulating any of it in a coherent fashion.

    "So we're cutting healthcare" is not the best soundbyte, Mr. President.

    Wow so far it's just two old men rambling incoherently... pretty much what I expected.

  • KetBraKetBra Dressed Ridiculously Registered User regular
    Yeah despite the fact that Trump is spending more time arguing with the moderator than Biden I gotta say this is a terrible start for Biden

    Like, real fuckin bad

    Its actually a fairly smart one for Trump honestly. Just bulldoze over everybody because the amount of words said is the real score. Like, I'm not even joking here.

  • CouscousCouscous Registered User regular
    Trump clearly did not prepare if he is getting mad at the healthcare question

    God this is a shitshow
