Official USMB Debate 2020 -- "Round One" Thread..

[Redcurtain]

A lion? Only if the lion is rabid, and lashing out insanely like a maniac. Trump was completely incapable of controlling himself. His face was red and sweaty, and he looked like he was ready to pop a vein.

How would you react if you were running for office and you could tell the election was being rigged against you? Trump has every right to react the way he did.

The election is not being rigged against trump.

So when is Biden cannot allow a Republican moderator??

 

[lennypartiv]

Well Trump said we will be seeing his tax records soon. That stuck with me.

Obviously the tax returns the New York Times acquired are fake.

If this display is still not enough to convince people it's time to elect a third party then I officially give up on America. If 95% of voters are still going to choose between these two ass clowns then let the whole damn country crash and burn to the ground. We deserve nothing less for our collective dumb fuckery.

 

[Devils_Advocate]

I can't wait for AOC, Sanders, Pelosi, and others reaction to Biden proclaiming "I AM THE DEMOCRAT PARTY".

Yeah, that was not smart at all... Harris will have a one on one with Joe and remind him he is there to get her elected and that is all he is there for...

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Does Joe Biden support the Green New Deal, like he stated, or is the Green New Deal not the Biden Plan, which he also stated moments earlier?

This will hurt him with the nutcases and thank Gid there are a lot of them

AOC did endorse Bernie even with Biden as the nominee

 

[my2¢]

She took the words right out of my mouth....

Can you give me some results that you disagree with Trump on?

trump lost this debate and lost it badly.

True, it's being rigged against America.

We did. Cant help it if you dont like our 3rd party candidate. Hes still your president though

 

[WEATHER53]

His lack of courage in answering the packing of the Supreme Court is interesting. We ll see if this hurts Biden.

Biden punted

Yes. Unfortunate. Shows cowardice.

Trump didn’t punt on condemning White Supremacy
He just can’t do it. Looked like he was going to at first, then backed away

He said Proud Boys stand down and Biden said Antifa is an idea?

No. He didn't say ”Proud Boys stand down”.

He did. LoneLoser. Turn up your miracle ear, fatty.

ShortBus, Impeached Trump said, "stand back and stand by." Asked to condemn white supremacists, he instead tells them to stand by.

Stand down and stand back

 

[Redcurtain]

trump lost this debate and lost it badly.

I think Trump won the two against one battle because it was against two people

 

[Snouter]

Which Biden lied and denied saying even though it's on video.

This is one of the actual cases in which Wallace should have interrupted and asked Hidin' Biden, "Are you saying the video everyone has seen of you telling the prosecutor in Ukraine to drop the case against Hidin' Biden Junior, Cocaine/Prostitute Trafficker/Natural Gas Exploration Executive, was a fake?'

Where is it give us some names of these people

Will you shut up and let adults speak? Jeezuz

Jews are not human we step on you

Inbreeding has you punch drunk. Stand down.

Find a country that will take you people in

USA

Already reading that numerous democrats don't want Slow Joe to debate again. Wow! Even his own supporters are telling him to stop.

I told them Biden can't handle an opponent as strong as Trump. Hell Hillary barely stood her ground and she's about as nasty as the Dems have.

Phhhhhheewww....oh boy....

First off, hats off to Wallace. That could not have been an easy job. For those of you who say Wallace is a disgrace...you are entitled to your opinion...but I just dont see it.

I imagine wallace, after he leaves tonight is going to have himself a stiff drink.....or 18....

I did not see where wallace was favoring trump at all. He spent most of the debate trying to shut trump down. Again, that chair was a tough place to be tonight.

Say what you will, but biden did it. He held out for the entire debate and didn't cave. Sure, he had a few moments where he got a bit tongue tied, but at the end of it all, he didn't turn into the nonsensical babbling person people thought he would. For the most part, he stayed on point. Its because of this that I think trumps antics actually helped biden.

Biden, by withstanding trumps onslaught, showed people he has more resolve. I think this is going to play well for biden, not so much for trump.

Trump had a good opportunity here to prove all of his critics wrong. He should have stood up there, and respected biden. He should have respected Wallace, and the rules of the debate. They both should have spoken when it was their turn and respected the other person when it wasn't.

Trump had an opportunity to look presidential, but he didn't do it. He had to be the aggressor and the bully. He had to dominate and try to shut biden down. He could have been the bigger man, and people would have gained respect for him, because he would have shown the country that he could stand there and carry on a debate, calmly, and with reservation.

Again, I think this is not going to play well for trump. Let's hope someone talks to him and gives him some constructive criticism before their next debate.

I think most people have already made up their minds, so, in the long run, this will probably not really hurt trump.

200 million?

Huh?

You say the Slow Joe "did it"... But he claimed 200 million have died from Covid. That statement alone showed his 47 years of doing nothing has destructed his brain. The old man is shot. He had nothing but deflecting fake laughs. President Trump is living in his head now rent free. Let him keep fake laughing while people are dying.

The issue is the two political party system has grown so powerful it is impossible to get a third party candidate elected even in the House or Senate...

 

[BluesLegend]

One thing is 100% certain, Wallace gave Biden A COMPLETE PASS on his 47 year record.

Biden hasn't been president for the last 47 years. I mean, I'm sure you can relitigate the 1994 Crime bill, but then you'd have to relitigate how Trump called for the execution of the Central Park Five.

Stop being intentionally dense.

Unfortunately this debate encompassed how divided we are.

This thread will be unlocked and un-stickied at 5PM Eastern Tuesday for the debate.. DO NOT CREATE OTHER THREADS until 1PM Eastern Wednesday morning.. We do this to put everyone's comments in ONE thread rather than 20 or 40 of them.

Other threads will be closed -- not merged. We're posting floating Announcements in Announcements, Politics, Current Events.. Help us out by BUMPING those and using them for PRE-DEBATE predictions, hype, bets and general hyper-ventilation..

Regular Zone2 rules apply in here.. Don't get reported and potentially TOSSED OUT..

There's a popcorn GLUT because of Covid shutting down the movie theaters so help out the farmers and buy some extra.

Trump wanted a brawl and he got it. I think the President looked forceful and Biden weak on law and order. President Trump also hammered home on the failure of Democrat mayor's and governor's. Defended himself well on COVID response and shutting down travel with China. Trump victory tonight. Biden stammered and stuttered at several points. Also the President pinned Biden on Antifa and socialist policies.

 

[Lakhota]

Biden clearly won tonight.
