Susan Glasser: “What does the worst debate in American history look like? It looks like the debate that took place on Tuesday night between President Donald Trump and former Vice-President Joe Biden. It was a joke, a mess, a disaster. A ‘shit show,’ a ‘dumpster fire,’ a national humiliation. No matter how bad you thought the debate would be, it was worse. Way worse. Trump shouted, he bullied, he hectored, he lied, and he interrupted, over and over again.” “Remarkably enough, it was seemingly on purpose. Losing in the polls, and with the country stricken by a pandemic that has claimed two hundred thousand American lives, the President offered incoherent bluster, inflammatory racism, and personal attacks on his opponent’s son. But mostly what came through was Trump’s refusal to shut up. He talked and talked and talked. He talked over Biden. He talked over the moderator, Fox News’s Chris Wallace. He talked over Biden some more. How bad was it? The line that history is likely to record as among the most memorable was Biden’s lament, at the end of the debate’s very first segment: ‘Will you just shut up, man? This is so unpresidential.'”
Now people know better it is time to use a mic switch off and put them in separate rooms with video feeds. If Trump is talking for 2 minutes, you shut off Biden. If Biden is talking, you shut off Trump. Wallace tried but Trump started immediately talking over Biden non-stop. If this was the strategy then WTF was the point of having a debate. Supposed to be town hall where audience asks questions......this will go back to a shit show real fast. I switched back and forth as I could not listen to them anymore.
America's Mussolini on display. The only thing that would have helped would have been a straight jacket and some phenobarbital.
"Just shut up man and stop calling out all my lies and corruption!" Biden literally lying over and over during the debate. Here's one lie that is undeniable when he said he didn't call troops stupid bastards.
Trump was obviously irritating Joe to no end. No wonder Joe was getting pissed off. Also, Trump was breaking Joe's attention away from he was trying to say. But you have to admit, Joe was lying and making up stuff so Trump was trying to defend himself with no help from the idiot moderator.
Trump was mad and had no composure at all. Maybe that's your normal state of mind but you can't spin this the whole world saw it asshole. Only cult followers like you saw anything at all good in that debate concerning Trump. He was terrible.
