I didn't watch the debate. Did Trump come off as unprepared? Flustered? Did he stammer?
I completely expected them to feed Biden answers and to have a blatantly hostile moderator, I'm just wondering how Trump did. Because I don't think he's the best debater in the world, to put it mildly. He comes off as someone who thinks rigorous preparation for debates is beneath them.
Trump was the most prepared, on-point he's ever been. He was ALL. OVER. EVERYTHING. But he also couldn't back down for a second and barely granted Biden any of his own time to talk. I'm sure it was a deliberate strategy to expose Biden's weakness, but I think it was a bad one that will turn people off. The gamble, of course, is that Biden will come off a SO weak that people will be turned off him more. Guess we'll see. Biden looked like the weakest presidential candidate in my lifetime.
Always going to be opportunities missed. I'm saying he had a fluid command of the facts and made forceful arguments with ease.
And speaking strictly from an optics standpoint, Biden looked like he'd been doped up on beta blockers. I hadn't watched Biden speak at length for a long time, and it was shocking just how frail he was.
Ultimately I think bad strategy and behavior by Trump ruined what would've otherwise been an amazing performance.
The biggest miss for me was Biden saying he was the democratic party and then 5 minutes later saying he couldn't call the democratic mayors and governors to stop the riots because he wasn't in office. Would have been delicious to call him on it.
I agree. He let Biden get away with saying that billionaires have gotten richer while regular people and small businesses suffer.
Gee, I wonder what could be causing that? Could it be the the lockdowns that you want to put everybody back into for 3 months and that Trump has been saying need to be lifted?
Same thing with the "racial sensitivity training" question. He let Biden get away with saying that we need unity and implying that what was banned actually lead to unity.
