Who will win the first debate?

[iguanaman]

Last words?

If you don't use it you lose it...That has never been more clear than in this election. Cover yourself and at least you can say you were not part of the problem.

I'm not part of the problem and you won't convince me that I am.

You left out context. He's smart because he utilizes the laws in put in place by congress he can use to his advantage.

Why are anti-Trumpers so dishonest?

Trix don’t give the Dems any ideas about what else they can claim is Trump’s fault. Tax breaks for the rich.

 

[Bullseye]

Kind of an odd question. Who do you think who perform the best at the first round of debates?

Keep in mind the following things:

The 1960 presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon set the tone for the rest of the debates. Nixon was recovering from a knee injury on the campaign trial. He was constantly sweating and looked exhausted after trying to campaign in all 50 states. Kennedy looked rested and articulate.

George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, struggled in his first debate against Gore and Kerry, and then gradually got better.

Barack Obama pretty much won all the debates between McCain and Romney. Although Romney had a strong third debate on foreign policy.

Donald Trump in 2016 didn't win any of the debates, but still able to get the competitive advantage at the end.

Despite Biden's speech impediment and stutter, he tends to do extremely well in one-on-one debates. He had the upper hand against Palin and Ryan.

How do you think it'll go this time around? Who will come out on top the first

Frankly, calling these shit shows "debates" isa gross exaggeration. The "winner" is generally dependent on who you ask. I just hope Biden doesn't try to sniff the moderator's hair (Chris Wallace - ewwwww!)

I hope you are right. Keep your fingers crossed.

Trump, by a thousand miles. If Biden even shows up it will be a miracle.

Yup. Sleepy Joe is gonna be chewed up and spit out. I wish he would back out like they promised us he would.

Do you support Joe Biden, the presidential candidate?

if he utilizes the laws and does it all legally, why are they being investigated for bank fraud? For illegally inflating their property values to get loans that they would otherwise not qualify for and then for under valuing their property for taxes? That isn't legal, it is very illegal.

You be sure and let us know when our president has been charged, and convicted.

Eric was just called to NY..he has to be there before Oct 7 or he will be charged with contempt.

Biden was a solid debater, but his age has gotten to him, but even without the dementia biden would have a hard time debating trump, even hillary with favorable moderators did not do as well as expected.

The reason for this is trump is never scripted, even when a script is written he never follows it, he may not wow people at debates but he is also almost impossible to knock down with a surprise attack because he never plans anyways and has since 2015 winged it off the top of his head. Imagine it like a boxing match, with each side trying to predict each others punches, only to realize they can not predict trumps because he has no thought or planning he just rolls with it.

I hear that Biden actually passed away last week and they're doing a "Weekend at Bernies" thing with his body until after the election where they'll pretend Biden just died. Harris will be confirmed and will pick AOC as her VP. I'm surprised I'm the only one who's picked up on this plan!

 

[ClaraD]

And?

of course Trix, you think bank fraud, cheating on taxes and violating RICO is just all ####s and giggles as long as your name is Trump.

nope, he is still fine...and very alive...but McConnell on the other hand.

Sounds about right.

 

[lurchadams]

The moderators are all anti Trump including Wallace, a biased lefty in disguise. Trump, he will get tough gotcha questions and Joe will be asked about his morning bowel movement and his diaper change. Regardless, Trump will stomp dementia Joe.

This is a very bizarre post.

I don't think that at all. Who the hell are you to accuse me of condoning criminal activity?
It does not behoove you to dishonestly put words in my mouth.

AOC can't be vice president, sadly. Hopefully someday. Imagine trying to debate her!

Yep. 2024. She has to be 35.

That was his full exact quote to answer a specific question. There is no wiggle room for twisting anyone's statements or questions in the wrong context The idea that someone used the wrong context on purpose to fit an agenda is true for those who care about nothing but getting fake news and living in an alternate reality. You will see what I mean on Tuesday night.

First of all most folks thought Romney had Obama on the ropes after the second debate even despite Candy Crawley interjecting herself in the debate with misinformation, and in the third debate Romney failed to go for the kill.

These are some great choices! Finally a poll with great choices! Well done!

As for me, I went with,

"Chris Wallace"

But, "Both under-perform" was a close second!

 

[Chomsky]

I had a hard time deciding between a tie, both would underperform, or Chris Wallace. Since I am a Wallace fan because he is as close to fair as you can get, I voted for him. He's libel to make them both look silly.

Hah! We both struggled through the same path, to come to the same conclusion!

'Great minds', and all of that.

 

[Chomsky]

In every presidential debate in my lifetime, the media has initially declared the democrat as winner of the debate. In truth, it's the voters who decide. Reagan for instance was declared the debate loser in all of his debates with Carter and Mondale. In both of those elections, Reagan won by landslides.....after which the pundits would walk it back and point out a specific debate moment where Regan put it on ice. Against Carter, it was "
"Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?" Against Mondale, when the moderator questions his worthiness based on age, he responded: " I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience,".

That's a line for the ages!
