I think Biden could have been stronger with some answers, but he did somehow keep his cool during that farce. Would have loved to have seen him ask Trump to define Antifa. I know he doesn't have a clue.

Kept waiting for Wallace to stop things and have Melania come out and change Donnie's diaper.

I was commenting about this earlier to somebody...except my version is that under the weakling Trump, EVERY SINGLE THING IS AS SHITTY AS IT POSSIBLY CAN BE.

...like, you start thinking: "Well, it's just a debate, how gruelling could it be?" Then Trump shits all over it, and you're like: "Oh."

...EVERY SINGLE THING.

"Hey Trump, people are rioting in the streets, go say something"=shittiest response possible.

"Hey Trump, there's a pandemic. Organize a response"=shittiest response possible.

My hope is that his base is feeling some of the fatigue with him that I am...like, Trump's shit doesn't even get me riled up anymore. I am so far beyond that I just find him tedious and boring. The novelty has passed.

At some point, they have to go from :"Woo hoo!" to: "yay, I guess?"

I sure hope so. I wondered how Biden's "Will you shut up, man?" was going to play, strong or "Oooh, lost his cool!", but then Wallace actually helped a bit by telling Trump towards the end of the debate that he had been exasperating all night. In that moment he became the surrogate for a lot of people and also stamped down that Trump had not followed the rules he agreed to. He essentially validated Biden's exasperation and allowed viewers to interpret Trump's performance as ridiculous.

It was a farce. Neither man could competently manage a McDonalds franchise. It was the latest indictment of the 2 party system and their related incompetence and corruption. The partisans from both sides should be embarrassed that they continue to support either party. The only thing an intelligent person not steeped in retarded partisanship could conclude is anyone who is proud to give either one of these losers their vote and allow either party to grow their powers is a goddamn moron.

I loved every minute of it and had to pause and jerk off 4 times.

The Proud Boys themselves are going nuts. The President just legitimized them. A neo-fascist white supremacist group!

When someone tells Joe Biden who they are, it could mean trouble in the next debate.
To be fair, Biden was the one who brought up their name. Trump did his usual thing of when he's cornered about racist shit he suddenly becomes completely unaware that it even exists. "What do you want me to call them?" When told the name he studiously avoids uttering it and then tells them to "stand by". Today his people (NOT him) are saying he "meant" to say stand down. He did not mean to say stand down or he would've said stand down.

You don't even have to listen very hard to hear the dog whistle anymore. It's more like a bullhorn.

Okay, I'll be this dude: People are putting waaaay too much thought into the "stand by" thing. It was verbal diarrhea. Nothing more.

You can't have it both ways. We all know that this dude just spews out shit without thinking, and we comment on it all the time. But this, of course, was a 100%, pre-meditated call to arms to the army of insurgents he's been carefully culling together behind the scenes? No. The dude. just. rambles. Biden made a hundred verbal stumbles, many of which he didn't even bother to correct, and I'm hearing exactly nothing about them, but everyone wants to think that Donald Fucking Trump, in 1 out of a billion cases, didn't do the same here.

I don't know why people are so intent on crediting Donald Trump with far more intent and intelligence than he has ever shown himself to possess. We can point out, as I've said a thousand times, that the so-called leader of the free world shouldn't be allowed to just riff and that's 100% true - but he does. Stop trying to put meaning into any of it. There isn't any.

You can lump all Trump's shit into stupidity but when it serves him, that's what he's hoping you'll do. He's done this before. It's the exact same thing as "good people on both sides". He knows if he overtly denounces racists he'll lose a huge percentage of his voter base.

You can see the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. The angel says "Tell them stand down". The devil says "Say stand down and they'll stay home on November 3rd. Say stand back... wait no... stand BY. Yeah, say that!" He has NEVER said he disapproves of white supremacists. And he won't. You could waterboard him and he wouldn't denounce them.

When it comes to his voter base he's stupid but he's not dumb.

If I asked you if you condemn white supremacy, would you find it as difficult to answer as Trump? It was a simple question and he struggled to answer it. He answered as he did because he was too stupid to weasel out convincingly. We're reading into it exactly what he wanted to do, his failure to pull it off notwithstanding.

This.

Trump probably doesn't even know who the Proud Boys are. He asked Wallace to name him a white supremacist group. If we consider that Biden would not denounce antifa because they are an "idea," Trump too wanted a specific example of a group. It was Biden who said the Proud Boys first, followed by Wallace who initially had no example.

To think there is some nefarious plan in every single thing Trump says or does is conspiratorial and puts him on the level of Augustus.

Trump blew it last night because of his demeanor. What's incredible is, that in spite of that there was no clear winner.

Keep in mind, in the past, the majority of presidential candidates went to the same schools, they belonged to the same country clubs, etc...They were mostly made up of lawyers and were on debate teams in high school/college. That's why all the debates went as smoothly as they did.

I also didn't like the level of moderation. Let the two guys talk following a question. If they have to yell it at each other, so be it.

I was staunchly opposed to the idea of the debate being held on Joe Rogan, but I seriously think that would have worked better than what happened last night.

His refusal to reject White supremacy is absolutely an appeal to his voting base. No question. I don't contest that part at all. I specifically contest the "stand by" part. He always follows up whatever he's just said with a stream of unconscious verbal diarrhea, because he doesn't think before he speaks. I think he just followed up "stand back" with what he stupidly thought was synonymic.

The effect it has, in how it whips up the Proud Boys and their interpretation of what he says is another matter, and something that may prove that verbal diarrhea has consequences, but I don't think Trump actually meant what he said. Like everything else, it's hollow wording to appeal to idiots. He doesn't actual mean it.

Bullshit. If somebody supports him he knows who they are. He lives for idiots to give him thumbs up.

There are definitely things Trump has no clue about that a competent president should know about. Taking stock of who is and is not licking his nuts is not one of them. It's his main preoccupation.

He absolutely knows who they are. I just don't think "stand by" was any sort of order.

It's like when Biden said that Trump doesn't know how to shut the fuck up, and Trump immediately said "you'd be surprised." Verbal diarrhea, pure and simple. No meaning, whatsoever. He didn't stop and think of all the reasons and examples for why he's great at shutting up. He just spewed words.

He didn't say "stand down". Like I said, he knew that was the right thing to say but he couldn't say it. He danced around it and ultimately settled on wording that essentially means "Get ready to wreak havoc when I lose on election night". He wants their support.

Just try holding your breath till corrects himself. He will not.

Donald Trump Jr. said his father was "more than happy" to condemn the Proud Boys in a Tuesday night interview with CBS News.

"I don't know if that was a misspeak, but he was talking about having them stand down," Trump Jr. said of the president's "stand by" comment.

Man, I'm so glad all of the Democratic candidates kissed Obama's ring and dropped out of the race to coalesce around the candidate who hadn't won a single fucking delegate so we could be treated to that tremendous performance last night.

"Stand down" is not a repudiation. "Fuck those little Nazi shits" is a repudiation.

Even f the weakling Trump misspoke, the intent of his sentence was not what it was supposed to be.

As usual, he's fanned the flames of division even more.

I heard an off the wall analogy/joke on TV last night after the debate.
Someone walks into a newly reopened restaurant and asks the waiter for a menu. The waiter says, "I'm sorry, but due to complications because of the virus, we are only offering two selections, rat poison and tuna casserole."
The customer thinks for a minute and then says, "Well ya know, I'm NOT really that fond of tuna....."

I agree, there was no winner necessarily. Trump didn't win and Biden didn't lose. I think by the end Biden had actually held his own and came off better simply by staying calm, sticking to the issues and not engaging Trump's game. The only time he got really upset is when Trump went after his sons, but he responded in exactly the right way.

Trump seemed to think trying to dominate by speaking at all times would make him look like a winner but he severely miscalculated. He kinda did himself in there. Even Wallace was like, "What the fuck, dude?"
