How was it? I watched about 30 minutes before I fell asleep. ( I had 2 tough sessions of physical therapy yesterday that kicked my ass pretty good) So who won, orange man or the older guy?
I mostly saw tRump refusing to stfu and the older guy trying to answer his questions and smiling to the camera.

Given that Trump is such an ultimate douche but got beat up by Sleepy Joe, I’d have to give Joe the win.

I was at work, but from what I've read so far, everyone here who used the word, shitshow, deserves a gold star next to their name.

It was certainly cringe worthy at times. Trump rather often interjected when Joe was talking. Trump also did his usual say a lot of words but not actually convey anything coherent. All said and done, we are fucked.

I would say Biden did his best to act like an adult and a participant . Trump couldn’t follow one basic rule he agreed to which was shut the fuck up for two minutes . Trump behaved like a drunk heckler at a comedy show . It’s really hard to speak intelligently about an issue or lay out a vision for the future when your opponent does that . I would say it’s a waste of time but at least we all got to witness Trump for what he really is . The shit show is all on him , as usual .

The biggest failure was that of the moderator, as he totally failed to enforce the most basic rule.
It was all just another embarrassment for the entire nation.
Basically the current president behaves like a gangster and has been getting away with it, for years, and a good portion of the public, is just fine with having their country lead by such a person. So really its all way beyond embarrassment. At this point the country is not only seriously dysfunctional, but becoming more chaotic as well. I expect things to get worse, no matter where we go from here. The roots of this self destruction of the USA go back for decades, and the momentum now seems surreal and unstoppable.

What a complete shitshow.. Out of control, smh for an hour and half.
The biggest issue was the moderation. He could not get the debate under control. I don't feel like I learned anything about their stances, it was constant interruption and pot shots, mostly from Trump. They should turn off mics when it isn't their turn to speak. It's messed up that I didn't hear half of Biden's responses. .
Trump is simply more forceful, aggressive and outspoken. Immaturity mixed with smooth-talking manipulation- Just about every answer he gave, he twisted the subject, went off topic, and found a way to make himself look good. So frustrating.
Couple things that weren't fair, imo- .Comparison to past presidencies- The environment and circumstances are not the same. .Spending that much time talking about family members? Totally inappropriate, has nothing to do with a presidential debate.
Biden Blunders.. He was great at the beginning, good at the end, had a few slurring moments, not being able to get the words out. Honestly, I think this will influence voters- Who wants a president that can't get through a speech? There were a few times that Biden had the opportunity to destroy Trump. Whether his mental state or professionalism impact this, not sure. But watching him really reinforced my belief that he is an empty puppet. There's no substance.
Did Trump ever tell the white supremacists to stand down?
Climate change. I am happy they added it to the topics, but I wish more time was spent on it. This is where Biden could have walked all over Trump, the moderator barely scratched the surface when it comes to the devastation the Trump Administration has had on our environment. This is another place where Trump completely diverted. Q: Do you believe in climate change? A: Cali wouldn't be on fire if they raked their leaves. The thing is, most of what is burning is federal land.. He kept bringing up the need for Environment MGMT, so let's go!
In conclusion, I believe what transpires with both covid and economic recovery, in the time between now and election will greatly impact voter's minds.

Trump has to act this way because thats truely all he has to fall back on. There is no substance to anything the man says.100s of thousands of acres of Cali. Is burning because they dont rake up all of the leaves and sticks that fall in the forest? Really dude really? Trump activley came out to supress and undermine encourageing people to vote Biden is only encourageing people to get out there. Its insane Trump lterally up there saying if anyone but him wins the election has to be rigged and is basically calling for violent confrontaion if it doesnt go his way. This man wants blood spilled in the fucking streets and is suposedly the law and order candidate when hes in all actuality a fucking chaos junkie.

They aren’t going to say shit . What can you say after claiming Biden talks like a moron for a year and then seeing your boy get crushed by him . There’s nothing to say. All they have now is hoping Trump manages to stay in power by suppressing the vote and contesting the election.

Raw faith and anger. They often go hand in hand.
In the minds of his supporters, he will keep America great, and the radical liberal communist socialists will do everything to try to ruin the country to make him look bad.
