1st Presidential Debate Megathread

[ugabug]

Ending the debate was probably the happiest moment of Wallaces life.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Trump won this debate.

“Will you shut up man”

[Hammy]

Trump won this debate.

Trump could get carried out in a straight jacket to a mental institution and you'd still be claiming he won.

[soundchaser]

Dana Bash just called this debate “a sh**tshow.” Hard not to agree.

(Professor told us to write down any useful discussion about COVID for extra credit points).  

I wrote "COVID" and that's it.  

[Ye We Can]

I'd say Biden won. He didn't have the best answers but Trump came off like an asshole. I was actually mildly bothered by the whole "your son is a drug addict" thing

[Badger]

"Proud Boys, stand back.



BUT STAND BY"

OMFG! HE ACTUALLY SAID THIS!

It's official. If you are a trump supporter, you are a kin to a Nazi supporter. Sod off pit. Nazis! The new on rule has been fulfilled. Nazis!

[Darthpi – Anti-Florida Activist]

It was beyond irresponsible to have a topic on election integrity, given that Trump used all of his time to do everything he could to undermine confidence in the election.

"It was a sh**tshow"

Lmfao

[Tender Branson]

This is going to be one big joke.

As if we can expect any of the guys to make decent, substantial arguments about political topics or issues.

Probably somewhat from Biden, but from Trump ? LOL.

80-90% will be attacks or other meaningless talking points.

I feel vindicated.

[Dr. Arch]

Biden addressed the issues, talked to the American people, stayed calm, and, not only held his ground, but he put Trump on the defensive.

Do you still think Joe Biden has dementia, Trump supporters?

[ηєω ƒяσηтιєя]

This was horrific. Just an embarrassment. The world is laughing at us right now and it's mostly because of Trump.

[libertpaulian]

Thank God it's over.  This debate was disgraceful.

[StateBoiler]

Andrea Mitchell bashing on Chris Wallace for the nature of the debate. Eff you Mitchell. Get in there and you try to do a better job.

[Stockdale for Veep]

At least we know now what that Cane attack on the Senate floor would have looked like if video existed back then.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Trump won this debate.

[GALeftist]

I live in Spain but the S is silent

[Joe Biden 2024]

Biden just murdered the senility question.

[Inmate Trump]

The worst debate I've ever seen.

Trump was a child.  His tone was unpresidential.  I think this is going to go down as a huge Trump loss.

As a fan of presidential debates and politics in general, I hope there won't be any more presidential debates this campaign.  Trump makes it impossible with his behavior, and if the moderator won't keep him in check then he shouldn't be given a platform.

[BigSerg]

Honestly, Joe Biden has won the debate.

[JGibson]

The winners and losers:
Losers: Trump and Chris Wallace.
Winner: Biden.

[Pyro]

That was hilariously bad.

[Hammy]

Biden just murdered the senility question.

He would have, if Trump's based lived in reality in the first place.

[Crumpets]

Anecdotally, the most used phrase tonight in my household of me, my parents, my dog, and my cat was "SHUT UP!" I imagine we were not alone.

[Woody]

Biden addressed the issues, talked to the American people, stayed calm, and, not only held his ground, but he put Trump on the defensive.

Do you still think Joe Biden has dementia, Trump supporters?

He was repeating obviously scripted lines like a robot.
