Idk why anyone would be surprised by the debate. Those people should adjust their exceptions to reality.
I think Biden did what he was supposed to do. Trump did what everyone should expect. I’m happy.
Chaos in Cleveland: Good Morning America captioned that debacle correctly. Donald Trump went to Cleveland with a deliberate plan to be disruptive, obnoxious and to talk over everyone. It was his only defensive for failing on COVID-19 and (most likely) criminally defrauding the I.R.S. on his taxes.
If Joe Biden and the Democrats are wise, they'll skip the next two debates while Donald Trump receives negative fallout from his bull in a china shop performance last night.
I have already voted for Biden. But, honestly I thought Trump won the debate only because he dominated the early part (which is where the largest audience will be). Biden looked frazzled and I was shocked that his team didn't prepare him for Trump's obnoxious behavior. I was hoping Biden would have looked at the camera and said early on, "This is the crazy person we have in the Whitehouse who can't even act with any decorum, or appropriate respectful behavior." Or, when Trump was attacking Democratic cities or leadership, "This is why with this President we have such devisiveness and no hope of bringing our country together whereas I can reach across the aisle and bring back productive working together in a democracy/"
My thoughts exactly. Furthermore, a new rule needs to be added. Only the mic of the candidate that is using his two minutes of uninterrupted time should be on. A timer should automatically turn on the other mics when the stopwatch for this is set at two minutes.What he did was what he's always done, ignores the rules, cheats, and makes up his own. Trump agreed to a protocol up front, then sought to silence truth and obliterate facts by shouting it down, and trying to talk over Biden every time the man tried to speak. And part of the blame for letting Trump get away with it lies with Chris Wallace. If the mfkr won't play by the rules shut his fkn mike off until it's his turn to speak. Simple.
As far as the election, this is by far the most important result of the debate. If a majority of undecided voters break for Biden, that will widen Biden's lead. Many of the undecided voters will also vote Democratic in other races which could doom several Republican Senators and Republican senatorial candidates. The House may go even more Democratic. State legislatures may turn from red to blue.
