JaCrispy Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I like most of Trump’s policies...I just feel he is a horrible communicator...these were fairly easy questions, and he’s got a pretty good record to defend...but too often, he loses focus, wanders off on a tangent, and doesn’t answer the question imo...very aggravating...

It was exhausting bc that’s what politics is now. Trump wins. He was definitely stronger and provided sincere concrete answers with examples. Biden stumbled, mumbled, and bumbled around. He did admit however, that he would send billions of dollars to foreign countries for ‘climate change’ reasons. That’s ALL I need to vote for trump. Trump was a complete joke - he knows he’s phucks 2

He didn't really come up with any plan. We had 4 years of a plan is coming. Glad Wallace called out the Executive Order was symbolic and means nothing while the adminstration is trying to take away coverage for pre-existing conditions in California v Texas.

When one person keeps breaking those rules, they need to stop in. Imagine a Bills - Pats game. Refs keep calling the Pats who breaking the rules (I know that would never happen). You wouldn't expect the refs to start calling penalties on the Bills to make it even. Did you see my posts as a call for no moderator?

Buffalo_Gal Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Huh, interesting... this is on Biden's website. Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face. It powerfully captures two basic truths, which are at the core of his plan: (1) the United States urgently needs to embrace greater ambition on an epic scale to meet the scope of this challenge, and (2) our environment and our economy are completely and totally connected. He said tonight he does not support the Green New Deal, he supports the Biden Plan. So, is that just the Green New Deal in Biden-speak? 2 3

Trump said he didn't pay $750 in taxes and will be releasing them soon. He did deny paying $750 in 2016 and 2017, but he said he'd be releasing them "when they're ready." Which seems to mean "never." 1
Deranged Rhino Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Late to this thread tonight ... overall thoughts: * The performances from both won’t move the needle one way or the other — which is a win for Trump. * Trump had better energy and pace, but missed some layups and got in his own way in spots. Joe wasn’t great, he came in third to Wallace in terms of winners, but he also survived til the end which itself is an accomplishment. * Both sides will be able to spin some gems from short cut ups of some of it, but Trump had the better tv moments. Theres already talk of canceling the next two debates. They can’t. It’ll make Joe look super weak. He needs a rebound more than Trump after tonight even if both stumbled. 2

As for the debate, Trump was every bit the embarassment that he has always been. Mr Alpha-male, shouting down everyone, spewing his tired lines, over and over. Bidnen was steady. This isn't Trump vs Biden, but "Vote" VS "Don't Vote". Trump fanatics have proven over and over again, that he could shoot somebody on 5th Ave, and they will still love him. Nothing is going to change dramatically after this debate. Edited September 30, 2020 by Buftex

I would guess it will come down to the overnight snap polls, no? Maybe the 48 hour polls after the media has a chance to massage Biden's performance? He can always come down with COVID, but I would think a cold would be good enough. 1 1

It happens all of the time. The bigger thing is if Ivanka picked it up as income, which I assume she did. So it's getting taxed one way or another. Based on the NYT it's probably being taxed at a higher tax rate as well. On the tax side, I think the Trump Foundation is more interesting with the self-dealing and issues they already had with the Tebow helmet and picture. Nothing important will come from the Trump tax returns until the SDNY investigation is done except good quotes like the teachers paid more taxes than you.

There's a perfectly good basis to cancel the next two debates. If the moderator won't stop interruptions, won't threaten to cut the mic of repeat violators, why have these debates that are supposed to be focused on specific policy issues? There was no logical reason based on the questions tonight for Trump to bring up Hunter Biden's shady deals, nor was there any reason for Biden to bring up Trump's federal taxes. But they were unwilling to wait for the next debate when those questions will come up. It was ... a mess. Utterly uninformative, we learned nothing about the two we didn't already know before, and it cheapened (rather than strengthened) our national discourse and our system of government as a whole. If Biden's post-debate polling is stable or improves, if I'm his campaign chief I'm saying: I'm done. 2 1

There's a lot of things that raise an eyebrow, but until prosecutors go digging into it we can't really say anything in particular is illegal or fraudulent. Just a bad look for a presidential candidate. 1

You are right...I suspect "Proud Boys, stand down and stand by" will be his great tv moment.
