Trump-Biden Debate Wrap-Up
President Donald Trump faced former Vice President Joe Biden for the first presidential debate Tuesday night in Cleveland. It was a televised headache.
In theory, Chris Wallace was the moderator but immediately proved ineffective at controlling the two septuagenarians bickering for the next 96 minutes. By the end, it felt like the debate was between Trump and a Wallace/Biden tag team.
Trump came out swinging, peppering Biden with interruptions and real-time fact checks. He criticized the Democrat’s 47 years in Washington and pointed out how little he accomplished during that half century.
Biden lost his cool several times, telling Trump “Will you shut up, man?” oddly followed with “Keep yappin’, man.” He called the President a racist, a clown, a liar, and the worst president in US history. He directed most of his remarks into the camera, while Trump faced Biden throughout.
Overall, the Democrat held up well during the break-free debate, making minimal gaffes and keeping a level energy throughout. The Trump team lowered expectations so much that it ended up helping him. The President, however, was definitely the most energetic man on stage.
This is where I’d usually discuss the policies discussed but this brawl was far more UFC than Oxford Union. I offer sincere prayers for the transcriptionists trying to document this thing. It was an hour and a half of crosstalk.
Biden refused to answer whether he supported packing the courts, claimed his Biden-Sanders Manifesto didn’t exist, at one time criticized lockdowns then later supported them.
Trump pressed Biden on the lawlessness raging through Democratic-led cities, Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deals with shady foreign potentates, and the dangers of mass mail-in voting.
Wallace and Biden hit Trump hard on COVID, climate change, and critical race theory (which Wallace deceptively cast as mere “sensitivity training”). The “moderator” seemed balanced at first; by the end, he and Biden were shaking their heads and laughing with each other at Trump’s aggressive approach.
The New York Times headline says it all: “Chris Wallace Tries to Rein In an Unruly Trump at First Debate.” It is not the job of a moderator to “rein in” either side. The fact that a Fox News host ran interference for the Democrat does not bode well for bias at the next two debates.
The next debates are scheduled for Oct. 15 and Oct. 22. Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris will meet on Oct. 7.

The Dems think any group that dares to oppose them or their violent street thugs are “white supremacists.” That term is a nice tool for cultural Marxists seeking to badger and humiliate us into silence.
You seem to relish the thought. Sad.
Biden employed the same disruptive tactics he used against Ryan. It is who he is. If anyone doesn’t remember, listen to Mark Levin’s Oct 1 podcast once it is up. He goes right into playing clips from it and it is amazing how much it sounds like what we saw the other night. Meanwhile, Trump’s debate with Hillary wasn’t like that. Common factor….Biden.
Also, there are some boogie woogie boys who wear colorful shirts. Are they the same?
Like Paul Ryan? Biden ate him up and spit him out.
Wait until some Proud Boys look up Sandman’s lawyer.
He condemns Antifa and BLM protesters who are committing violence
As Ari Fleischer pointed out, Biden interrupted first just as he did with Paul Ryan. Trump wasn’t having it at all. Chris Wallace is a liar and a fraud. He broke the rules himself when he introduced subjects not on the announced list. Trump wasn’t perfect, but he didn’t follow Ryan’s example, and good for him.
Not all that different than what you are doing here.
You forgot to add that Wallace then blamed Trump.
Let me elaborate: A liar, a fraud, and biased against Trump. As far as Biden is concerned, when they bury that perambulating corpse, they can engrave on his tombstone “Here Lies Truth” because it never once came out of him.
They are apparently a joke crew, presenting themselves as ironic humor and no more.
Added: That is, the Boogie Woogie Boys are. From what I understand, the Proud Boys are an inter-racial group of guys that meet about guy things (apparently no women are allowed), and love America, and get together and talk about it; they protest in small numbers with permits when they are allowed, and are not willing to be beaten down by anti-fa but fight back; and Ann Coulter says that at times in the past they have protected her against anti-fa violence.
Lin Wood heard my mental messages:

Let’s see if Biden can (also) end up owing $300 million, and we’ll know exactly who it’s owed to, and why.

No, the Dalai Lama is still alive.
Theoretically…or, uh…theologically, the Dalai Lama is always alive.
