The debate.
I ask the question I have pondered every four years since about 1988; in a country of 350 million, is this really the best we can do for a Chief Executive?
Things went as expected. Trump was a bully. Biden stumbled and humbled except for the obviously rehearsed comebacks to Trump pronouncements. Both were loose with the facts.
Trump spent his time attacking when he should have told us why we should vote for him. More emphasis on the great economy, record employment for minorities, growth in the stock market as needed. He should have highlighted his trade war with China, talked about immigration.
Biden tried to peddle a leftist agenda as moderate, including the old Obama myth of “green” new jobs.
Trump sort of waffled on telling ultra right wingers to stand down, but it was completely overlooked by the pundits that Joe never demanded the same of Antifa— the ones actually rioting.
One final thought, acknowledging anecdote is not data. The wife is fairly apolitical. She was decorating the house for fall, wandering through the family room, half hearing the debate from afar, not really caring. “wow”, she said after Chris Wallace made some remark to Trump, “He’s biased, isn’t he?”. After the debate as the NBC analysts started in, she stopped stared at the TV and said that is the most one-sided analysis ever.
Yep.
