Second Presidential Debate Thread (at 9pm ET)

I'm excited to see Joe Biden speak for two solid minutes without being interrupted.  And excited for America to get to see that.

Meadows claims Trump has tested negative:

We'd better get some f---ing proof.

Both Biden and Trump stronger in their opening arguments than they were last debate.

Trump has been rehearsing this same monologue all week.

Frank Luntz's focus group is all Trump supporters.  That's not an exaggeration -- at the beginning of the livestream he asks them who they're voting for and only one person was for Biden and the rest were for Trump.

In sports terms, Trump was down 4-1 in a hockey game in the 3rd period with 8 minutes left in the game and he got a 5 minute major PP and he didn't score, yeah he didn't get scored on which would have been worst but now he only has 3 minutes left to score 3 goals. He needed to score 2 goals in that game changing moment and he didn't.

It reminds me of Oscar's goal at the 90' mark in the 7-1 Brazil-Germany World Cup game.

Good job, you got 'em, I guess it's not a complete start-to-finish blowout now.  That's not at all enough to undo the failures of the rest of the game, and it's not going to turn anything around.  It's still the mineiraço.  Just you managed to find a way to not humiliate yourself in the final 5 minutes.
