Lets hear from some trump fans about the debate?

It is quite a mystery, you are correct. Very mysterious. I can't possibly understand how our nation's first African-American president selected a KKK-sympathizer like Biden to be his vice president. Quite a mystery. But then, virtually everything that is ever spoken by a Trump supporter is a mystery.

I think it's pretty clear that Biden is not a KKK supporter these days. I certainly believe a man can change. The difference is, Biden can speak to that change. Don't get me wrong... I'm still not a fan of the guy. But I believe he's a better man today than he was back then. I'd like to think we all are, in some way.

I've never seen Trump swear off his days as a scumbag or articulate his newfound convictions in a meaningful way. I'd love to see it, but it seems pretty clear to me at the moment that it's all for show. Everything is "Reality TV "to him, which we all know is far from reality.

Eduardo, this was written tongue in cheek. Biden is one of the foremost supporters of civil rights legislation in the Senate. I was picking at tech58's ridiculous comment so I wrote the post in jest.

Biden's primary campaign was saved by the largely black Democratic primary vote in South Carolina, where they know his long-time record of support for civil rights legislation.

Trying to rewrite history is part of dem's mendacity!
It is what it is! Ridiculous is as ridiculous does!
You know not whereof you speak!

Tech, can you honestly say that was a "good" debate for the President?

I haven't talked to anyone who didn't think it was a complete mess for both candidates, and a disgrace to America. I don't even know what it was. It certainly wasn't a "debate" or a "conversation" or "two grown men expressing reasonable ideas." That was a complete disaster unfolding before our eyes. There were so many things wrong with it I wouldn't know where to start.

[Chicagoan]

The debate was awful. Both candidates are to blame, but from what I saw Trump was more to blame. I do not understand what he thought he would gain from that sort of behavior?

[Eduardo]

He pressed so hard and so relentlessly that I think his sole purpose and honest belief was that Joe Biden is "losing it" so badly that if pressed hard enough he would have a severe mental lapse or breakdown right there on TV.

If so, it was a terrible one-dimensional strategy, as Joe clearly held up well enough given the circumstances. But more-so because I think we all know Joe IS losing it to a degree and this wasn't the way to go about proving it.

It was just a boneheaded, bullying performance all around that did nothing to further his cause.

So you think Robert Bryd changed his way of thinking to take advantage of the huge black voting block in West Virginia? All three percent of it?
Before Civil Rights, the South was solidly Democratic. After Democrats lead the fight on Civil Rights, the south is Republican. If the Democratic party wanted to appeal to large voting blocs, why would they do that? I realize logic isn't one of your strong points, but you really should try it on occasion.
Do you think Democrats support gay and transgender rights because of the large amount of votes that position attracts or perhaps they do it because it is the right thing to do? It certainly costs them more votes than it gains them.
Again, I realize it is an alien concept to you, but some people believe in doing the right thing, even at great personal expense.

Re-read the thread E i have not as of yet said one word about the debate!
I will now. I totally agree with all of what you say in this post. Would only offer one opinion to consider.
I believe President Trump was antagonized off his game plan and focus by the blatant bias of Wallace.
The old two-pluck-one attempt p!ssed him off. And not being a politician he tried to fight back as best he could. The average of opinions gave him a draw. Good job under the circumstances.

[billryan]

I'd ask you to point out a single scientific poll that gave him even a draw but why bother.
I was watching Mark Meadows as he tried to name the polls he claimed showed trump won. It was quite humourous. Perhaps it is on youtube.
Trump spoke first and was given two minutes to make his point. When biden got his two minutes, trump began interrupting him less than thirty seconds in. It was pretty obvious what his gameplan was for the start.
Wouldn't you agree it is very rare than a winner of an event complains about the officiating?
