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.
