It's unfortunate that the quote of the night come from Trump: "I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence and I don't think he knows what he said either."
It was kind of funny that the CNN desk after the debate was so clearly shook by how bad Biden's performance was but then after a quick commercial break they had mostly changed their tune. They tried to keep repeating that Trump was mean and that maybe the average rube was too stupid to realize how incoherent Biden was all night. It was pretty insulting to their audience.
I didn't watch much of it, but for the parts I saw, Trump saying more words that you could make out didn't help him. I guess if you're only trying to gauge who might die sooner. They asked him about the opioid crisis and he started rambling about how he bought a dog then they asked him about climate change and he started rambling about how black people love him.
Unless you have somebody else that realistically has a better shot of not failing against Trump in an election, I'm all for them going Weekend at Bernies with Biden if it means keeping Trump from helping to install a fascist theocracy to stroke his own ego.
lol if you think Biden looked worse than trump YOU didn’t watch the debate or you’re just another doomer who doesn’t care about facts.
Biden might’ve been mumbling too much, but trump was also incoherent in that his answers usually had nothing to do with the question and he was just spitting out lie after lie.
Lmao the cope is real. Trump was sharp and on top of his game, lying or not (which they both did). He looked, and talked, exactly like he did in 2016. Biden was a barely walking corpse who looked like he didn't know where he was half the time.
I think the most brutal thing Trump could've done is *exactly what he did.*
Explanation: If Trump lays into Biden, Biden has an out for the poor performance. He could have been insulted continuously by Trump, and ended up with more support or sympathy for the performance. As it stands, Trump essentially took a page out of Biden's 2016 playbook: Lay back and let the other guy screw himself over. And it worked. Couple that with the microphones being cut--something I would argue that played much better for Trump than Biden--and 90% of the harm Biden sustained was self-inflicted. If the Democrats have a brain working right now, they would be smart to allow the next(?) debate in September to revert to 2016-era rules. Let Trump bluster and embarrass himself by flouting the rules, talking over Biden, etc.
The funniest part is Biden's team actually created the rules/format for that debate, Trump's team just agreed to it. It turned out to be the most perfect format for Trump.
