1st Presidential Debate Megathread

[It’s so Joever]

Biden has lost. No question about it.

[Illiniwek]

Trump is making his points a lot more clearly than Biden is. Idk whether people will buy the garbage he is selling, but he is winning the debate in that sense.

[MABA 2020]

Rough start but Biden is doing better now

[Non Swing Voter]

Biden has lost. No question about it.

is this a joke? 

[Use Your Illusion]

This is a trainwreck.



"I brought back football"


"People are proud of me"




Oh my God dude.

[Chips]

For the most part, Trump and Biden have said things that energize their base of voters. The real question is how will independents view the debate?

[Ferguson97]

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

I think you're being a bit disingenuous (and I think neither of them are winning the debate).

"The debates aren't going well."

"OH ARE YOU SAYING TRUMP WILL WIN HAWAII? HUH? YOU DOOMER?"

Like you're sort of the opposite, where nothing is ever bad news

[WD]

Love the hysterics over all this. Can't wait for all the polls next week to show a Biden+7-8 lead like just like the past 4 months.

[Hammy]

Is it time to give up on this election yet? The fact that Dems here see a rambling idiot as the winner does not give me hope that Americans are capable of having the basic intelligence to make a sound decision

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

"Show us your tax returns."
"You'll see it as soon as it's finished."

lol?

[bilaps]

Biden blames Trump for jobs but says shut it down.

[Joe Biden 2024]

"People want to be safe"-Biden

"I brought back football"-Trump

Trump's a sociopath.

[We Live in Black and White]

I would like to cordially invite everyone wringing their hands over this to get bent. Seriously, go get railed, work off your bulls**t, and then come back to our reality and watch the debate like adults.

Trump is getting smoked like a side of pork.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

A majority of people in this country came into this debate already believing that Trump was fundamentally unfit to be President.

In order to turn this around, Trump has to convince many of these voters that he is in fact a fundamentally different person than what we have come to experience over the past 4 years.

I don’t see how his performance in this debate does that in the slightest.

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

"You are the worst president America's ever had, come on!"

[YPestis25]

Chris Wallace should not be understood as a serious journalist. This is absurd.

[Blue3]

Trump: if you're smart you go right through the tax laws, I'm a businessman

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Atlas in a nutshell:

 

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

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?

For real. How could someone support this terrible display of elder abuse on live TV?

Someone get Biden some coffee, or maybe cocaine.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Joe laughing at Trump is so, so good. It's the only appropriate response to the sheer absurdity of every damn world he says.

[Ferguson97]

Wallace is worse than Jim Lehrer

[Storr]

Biden blames Trump for jobs but says shut it down.

What?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Biden's excuse that we couldn't close the loopholes because orange man bad didn't happen yet was pathetic.

[Use Your Illusion]

Goddamn it man. It's sad this is the best the Democratic party can give us. This is the 2nd time he answered the wrong question

[WD]

Why is Wallace here?
