1st Presidential Debate Megathread

[Crumpets]

Trump has addressed someone named "Jim" three times. No idea who he's talking about. Biden?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

"Don't ever use the word smart with me."
- The stable genius

Donald Trump, known intellectual

[Stockdale for Veep]

Biden missed the easy softball on scotus flip flopping. But, otherwise he's doing what he needs to.

[JerryArkansas]

Trump was comparatively coming off like an adult here for the most part but calling Biden dumb just undid all of that. He's not getting any new voters acting like that.

If that was an adult for you jesus I don't want to know what you consider a child.

Funny enough, his uncle was.

Trump: there's nothing smart about you, I think you were bottom of your class, you're so stupid, never use the word "smart" in my presence again

Biden missed the easy softball on scotus flip flopping. But, otherwise he's doing what he needs to.

Biden's lucky time ran out for court packing.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Biden got rattled the first 15 minutes by Trump coming out interrupting him but seems to have stabilised and is winning now.

Psssttt Donald: PENN hates you....

[WD]

lmao this is a trainwreck

[DrScholl]

Trump's strategy here is to be disruptive and annoying to distract from the issues of the debate.

[dw93]

They need to have a kill switch for Trump's mic in the next two debates and turn is mic on only when he's asked a question.

[John Dule]

Biden needs to be more forceful. Don't let him talk about the China travel ban without pointing out that he did that after all the airlines had cancelled flights.

There are about five thousand things that Biden could say to Trump right now that would shut him down, but he is too slow and old to do it. I've been waiting four years for someone to take this moron to task, and Biden is not up to it.

[soundchaser]

Biden, you really just had to say “Herman Cain died” and you’d have entirely shut him down...

[Bojack Horseman]

When Trump said Delaware State Biden should have screamed "I WENT TO DELAWARE!!!!"

[Non Swing Voter]

I'm late to the party.  This is the most appalling display I've ever seen.  I'm sorry but anyone who still supports Trump is a deplorable just like Hillary said.  How can anyone support this?

[Use Your Illusion]

"China plague" Jesus Christ dude...

[John Dule]

Biden, you really just had to say “Herman Cain died” and you’d have entirely shut him down...

There was no way Biden was ever going to remember that name.

[lfromnj]

Trump's strategy here is to be disruptive and annoying to distract from the issues of the debate.

Meanwhile Biden literally refuses to answer an issue.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Uh oh, Trump just mentioned Pennsylvania and Michigan. You folks currently in hysterics think Trump is gurranteed to win them now?

[Blue3]

Trump: Biden will destroy the country with divorce, alcohol, and depression

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

When Trump said Delaware State Biden should have screamed "I WENT TO DELAWARE!!!!"

In my experiences, most people don't even know that a Delaware State even exists.  

(It's in Dover, lovely little campus.  Has a pretty good equestrian team, too.)

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Biden directly channeling Yang by calling the economy a "K-shaped recovery". Beautiful.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

For all the hand wringing on here, this debate is really just a wash.

You all need to chill out.

[DabbingSanta]

I hereby endorse Joe Biden for president of the United States
