Who Won the CNN Debate?

[Bobber]

IMPO everyone who has propped up this man and said he was fit for the job was cruel to him. His condition is no laughing matter it is sad to watch. But this just shows what many on the left will do to maintain power and show venom towards Trump.

The legacy of the time regardless of who wins will be how could they have done this to have allowed one like Biden to actually do this. I 'd favor an age restriction put upon the office of the President latest to start age 70...with two terms done at 78....or start at 74 but only allowed one term. Some say that would involved having a Constitutional Amendment which could take years to bring about but so be it.

At least get things going in the right direction. That would by the way take out both candidates here....Trump and Biden......YES not going to happen now these things take time but build a solid foundation of something for the future.....That's called Nation building. If a nation of over a population of 300 million can't find two people able to govern and do it effectively I'd say you might as well forget it. Not much of a country.

A simple age restriction might be tough to pass. Some people have all of their cognitive health at 100.

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

I told you we already know Biden is old and the selective splicing of video was and is deceptive. And his halting performance during the debate proved my point. The GOP has all the video it needs from simply showing excerpts from the debate. However, I have no doubt that will be manipulated too.

You are contradicting yourself.
If the video was deceptive he would have done better at the debate.

 

[HARK!]

He would have done better at the debate if he had his teleprompter. He did well at the State of the Union Address before the debate; and he did well at his speech after the debate. He does not do well when he is not reading a script. The problem isn't his performance. It's his memory. He doesn't do well when he has to rely on his memory. One big problem is that I doubt that he is writing his scripts, and I wonder who is. Surely they were not elected to be our President. Another big problem is that when he's on the phone with world leaders, discussing the wars that he has dragged us into; he will not be able to rely on a script to execute negotiations, that will protect every living creature on the planet from radioactive fallout.

I wonder if he had a mic in his ear during the debate, many times when Trump was speaking he wasn’t listening he was writing and then spoke from the notes.
He started to do better towards the end because he was unable to do this at the start of the debate.

This is a strawman. Everyone knows Biden is old, just like everyone knows Trump is old. This is about cognitive decline, which not all old people show the same level of decline. Biden has been showing severe cognitive decline for years, which the debate made obvious to millions.

and the selective splicing of video was and is deceptive.

You mean the beginning and end of the videos? That's called editing, which is done to show excerpts. Every media outlet does this. No evidence of "selective splicing" has been found in between the excerpts KJP referred to as "cheap fakes".

And his halting performance during the debate proved my point. The GOP has all the video it needs from simply showing excerpts from the debate. However, I have no doubt that will be manipulated too.

Don't see why they would. The debate has already been seen by millions of people around the world unedited and Biden's actions speak for themselves.

Haven’t you seen a formal debate before? That’s what you do. You listen to what your opponent is saying and take notes of the points they make so you can respond to each specifically when it’s your turn. It’s not supposed to be a WWE style match where each tries to dunk on the other with some prepared line that excited their voters and convinces no one else. What we saw on Thursday wasn’t any sort of debate, it was just a politics themed ratings grab.

I wonder if there will be any "influencing" going on regarding Trumps sentencing. Now that it's obvious that Trump will most likely beat Biden in the election will Trump see himself tossed in jail for four years? This is getting interesting.

And I'm sure that you would be saying exactly the same thing if Biden had performed well and won the debate.

I am against age restrictions, just as I am against term limits. We already have a proven system which infallibly delivers to us the candidates we deserve. Because of how the system works, even though you may think Trump and Biden are bad candidates, they are the candidates we deserve, because we picked them ourselves.

Perhaps not. As muddled as he was, Biden did seem a little more interested in policy.

I didn’t expect anyone to “win” this “debate”.

 

[rjs330]

Well it sounds like you were mistaken.

 

[Pommer]

Oh you watch Fox or Newsmax? The others have been covering for him and denying until now. Just a week or so ago they were talking faked video now it’s undeniable. I think you know who was lying.

I needn’t watch either of these fine news outlets, as I have several fellow forum mates posting their favorites right here.
Yes, Biden is old, Mitch McConnell is slightly older and still running the Minority’s ship over in the Senate, (until November [or he becomes room-temperature]), with nary a word about how he’s “progressing”.
(Yes, true, Mitch isn’t running for POTUS, but the selective enforcement of the “too old to serve” mantra is still visible.)

On the other hand, Jimmy Carter’s still kicking at 99, and is Constitutionally eligible to have someone else throw his hat into the ring!?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Well it sounds like you were mistaken.

Not how I see it.

What do you consider a win, doing slightly better than an old man? Pretty low bar to cross to claim victory but you can have it.

The real test will be in November if the same country who replaced non felonious Trump with old and feeble Biden will go back to now twice impeached and felonious Trump.

Jimmy Carter was on the other end of the mic that was in Biden’s ear during the debate.

Then you’ve set a very low bar for President.

 

[Brihaha]

Electing Donald Trump melted the bar my friend. There are no applicable standards now. It's just an interesting fact. People are even willing to do that again it seems lol. Y'all will be gobsmacked if democrats keep President Biden as the nominee. Same way the rest of us Americans have felt since January 2016. Imagine if Joe beats Donald again in November lol. You will be flabbergasted. Donald Trump is that bad of a candidate It's still a possibility. Then maga might understand the true meaning of low bar.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Better than a criminal and insurrectionist? It is a very low bar to have to cross but Biden somehow does it.

I thought you guys were the moral majority and law and order party. What happened to all that nonsense the GOP used to preach?
