The debate? Trump was great, Chris Wallace was a dreadful disgrace

[Michie]

Chris Wallace's overt defense of Joe Biden throughout the debate on Tuesday night was so obvious, so blatant, he should be proscribed from ever "moderating" a debate again.


Wallace's performance was as Biden's protector, his advocate, and that is undeniable. He stepped in at every moment Biden seemed lost: court-packing, lack of support of law enforcement, and Hunter's criminality.

The debate was so poorly managed. The questions were designed to aid Biden, to coddle him. No wonder Trump felt duty-bound to interrupt. Trump was debating both Wallace and Biden, and only one of them is sentient.

Wallace's intent was clear: sabotage Trump. Wallace succeeded only in looking like the stooge he is.

Why a two-minute rule? That hardly gives either man time to rebut what was just said about him. Wallace even brought up the Charlottesville charge but did not admit that it was a manufactured lie without giving Trump the time to deny the lie.

Wallace completely ignored and tried to derail Trump's bringing up Hunter Biden's criminal corruption. Why was that not a viable subject for discussion? Biden lied when he said Hunter had been cleared. Not so. Biden has a long history of lying and financial corruption. Should that fact not be up for review for a candidate for president? If Biden were a Republican, you can bet it would.

Wallace should be fired for his wholesale lack of objectivity. He's become a cut-rate Dan Rather.


Trump made important points, all of which Wallace tried to mitigate: voter fraud is real and is being perpetrated by Democrats throughout the country.

Both sides agreed to various rules including the two minute rule before the debate. Shouldn't Trump have to be good to his word and follow the rules? He was interrupting Biden right from the start. Wallace was just trying to get him to shut his mouth and follow the rules.

Biden also interrupted and resorted to name calling as well.

Yes. But he is incapable of responsible behavior.

What was he supposed to do? Nothing? Trump was out of control from the beginning. Why do you defend that?

Why do you defend name calling? Why do you as a Catholic defend Biden knowing his record as a waffler and his defense of procured abortions?

 

[JimR-OCDS]

I recorded it so I could watch it without hearing the spin.

Trump was on the attack against Biden and interrupted from the very beginning.

Biden returned interrupting, but wasn't nearly as close as Trump.

Wallace did all he could without having control of the mics. This was the problem.


Aside from both performances, Biden looked like a frail old man who was out on leave from a nursing home. Also, he's a career politician who'll take orders from those around him, if he's elected president. Those who vote for Biden, are really voting for Harris and the other radical left who'll dictate to Biden on the proposals he'll make as president. God help us if both the Senate and the House go over to the Democrats and Biden becomes president.

Trump and Biden clash over Barrett nomination, abortion, in fiery debate

 

[Michie]

One absurd notion that Tuesday night ought to put to rest forever is that Biden is any less likely than his opponent to lie. Not only did the former vice president made false claims about crime, the economy, and Amy Coney Barrett's views; he also flatly denied that his son Hunter had been paid a six-figure salary by a Ukrainian mining company. Meanwhile Trump himself insisted that he had paid many millions more in incomes taxes in 2016 and 2017 than he appears to have done in many years. Was anyone at home keeping score? Did anyone notice? Did anyone care? I doubt it.

The worst presidential debate of all time

The question here isn't Biden's position on abortion. It is about the debate and the failure of Trump to abide by the rules. Yes, Biden broke rules too, but only after being cut off and interrupted by Trump.

Yeah, he did it first mom!!!
And for us Catholics and him touting the faith, it IS about his position on abortion. This forum is supposed to be used by Catholics discussing these issues from the Catholic perspective.

The worst presidential debate of all time

I clicked on the “false claims” link and there were far more false claims from Trump. I’m not seeing where the writer gets that they were equally dishonest. The most agregious of Trump’s lies for me was the one claiming prescription drugs would drop 80% in price. That would be such a godsend for so many of my friends and family, it just seems cruel to make the promise if it isn’t true. I know someone right now who has to ration his insulin or skip meals.

I think the moderator deliberately baited Trump, knowing how he might react. Biden's not blameless, he kept laughing and calling Trump a clown. If Trump had kept calling Biden a clown, it would of been front page news.

Absolutely.
