Who Won the CNN Debate?

[BCP1928]

Do you know the difference between reporting the news and comparing someone to Hitler?

Yes, that is unfair. Trump is certainly not an ideologue.

 

[Bobber]

It was never going to be fair at CNN with two moderators that hate Trump but they were a lot more civil than I expected.

If true that'd be a sign CNN is trying to recapture an audience that has long since left them.

 

[Bobber]

Biden claimed to have defeated Medicare. Enough said.

One always has to ask how would Trump be treated if he said this gaffe?

 

[ViaCrucis]

Trump is a National Socialist?

The Nazis were a form of fascism. But fascism existed, exists, and can exist in many forms. Try reading Umberto Eco's essay on the subject, Ur-Fascism. Here's a summary if you can't be bothered to read the essay itself.

I think they knew they had to give the appearance of fairness because so many people would be watching.

 

[Always in His Presence]

In a Trump 2nd term, he will not make the mistake of appointing people that are not 100% loyal to his dictates.
There will be no Pence.
There will be no Esper.
There will be no Kelly.
There will be no Bolton.
There will be no Mattis.
There will be no Barr.

All you need now is proof that he demands any more loyalty than Joe does and you have established facts

How can you know that for sure?

We already know how he'd be treated.

Biden’s presidency:

 

[MrMoe]

Biden said "the idea" about thirty times during the debate.

 

[HARK!]

Yeah Joe! You answered every question! Yeah Joe !

His teacher should shower him with glitter, and place a gold star sticker on his forehead.

Those who are challenged by what most of us take for granted, deserve special awards and recognition for their achievements.

 

[HARK!]

...and then were fired by Trump.

I appreciate a President who runs our country like a business. If they aren't performing to expectations; they should find their way to the door.

So we're going to use the most liberal definition of fascism to include Trump as comparable to a National Socialist or Italian Fascist? Is he going to invade Poland or something?

 

[Pommer]

He never wrote anything down

And how did you determine this?

...you think firing employees for having opposing ideas is good busines practice?

If the media have been lying to us about Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities what else are they lying to us about?

We’ve been hearing about how Biden has been going downhill since he took office, where are the lies?

Only in right wing media. The mainstream told us it was deep fake videos. People on this forum told me it was propaganda.

I'm always fascinated by the "facts have a liberal bias" arguments people make. As for the rest of your comment, seeing as it's not serious, it doesn't deserve to be treated seriously.

Perhaps I don't watch the proper mainstream media. Biden's age and poor performance have been pretty standard talking points in liberal and left-of-center circles over the last four years.

I will say, however, that people weren't exactly fond of pro-Trumpers mocking Biden for being old and pretending like Trump was a spring chicken.

Biden isn't fit for office. He really isn't.

That doesn't make Trump fit for office by comparison, because if I have to choose between a senile old man and a senile old man who is evil, I'll go with the first option.

So I guess I'm voting for the second absolute worst choice this November. Yay America. If there was ever a time in the time I've been able to vote, for a third party to really pick up the slack, it's this election. And yet, it doesn't even look like that's a thing.
