I set up 2 TVs, one with the debate and one with the game. I've got a serious issue with self inflicted pain.

I like that Biden called Xi and Putin "thugs".

So far this is Biden's best debate overall. Trump's best debate by default.

First half the edge goes to Biden.

The amount of lies Trump tells that can easily be refuted are staggering.

I agree.

My tuner situation currently doesn't allow that*. I did ponder the scenario of putting the competing town halls side-by-side though -- figured the result would have been about as coherent as the first debate.


* Two TVs in the basement, one has a tuner and the other has been mostly for Netflix/Hulu/Xbox. FINALLY "upgraded" to Genies manufactured like four years ago; may look into another mini for the basement now that each tuner only requires one feed.

eh...

Biden dropping the Hitler line. Not sure about that one.

Not sure Kim Jong Un doesn't like Obama is a strong argument.

Don't Godwin the debate

SI

So wait. Trump has been saying forever he has a replacement for Obamacare, including about 2 months ago saying he would release it in two weeks. Now he just said they want to terminate Obamacare and come up with a better plan.

Which is it?

do we need to do a welfare check on you after they are over? :)

Bidencare!

I'm nervous about PA. Wolf won 57-40 but his opponent was clearly insane. Casey won 55-42 in the Senate. I guess lots of people are pissed about Wolf's regulations statewide. Recent polls only show Biden at 49-51% or so and in the margin of error. He should be ahead by more I'd think.

Trump still can't give a decent answer on Healthcare. The only thing he's able to do is say Obamacare is bad. There's no depth to his answers and you can tell he doesn't understand Healthcare any time the subject comes up.

Here we go again

He thinks he's running against somebody else was a great line.

Trump coming off poorly continuing to talk over the moderator. Can she cut his mic if he keeps doing that?

He's definitely trending downhill in the back half of this debate.

It sounds like trump's plan for health care is to have the Health Care Fairy to some how magically deliver it trump.

Biden is getting confident and assertive here.

lol @ Trump flat out saying we shouldn't raise the minimum wage to $15.

I like the emotion Biden is showing.

Immigration!

Let's hear plans for immigration reform.

Trump did an absolutely dreadful job answering that question. Not one ounce of empathy.

I've been really impressed with Biden.

i haven't turned it on. Having an extremely hard time coping lately.
The people that support trump....they are not human :(

OMG. Trump just claimed the conditions the kids are being kept in are top notch. There are thousands of pictures of kids sleeping on the floor in tinfoil blankets.

Where in Cinci are you?

I know this is a liberal board, but I think you guys are discounting how well Trump is doing.

He is really hammering at the liberals and I believe speaking to the moderates.

Not syaing Biden is doing bad, but Trump is doing well.

Trump is definitely better than what I would have thought.

Did I hear Biden say 11M illegals with path to citizenship within 100 days?

Sorry, I’m a moderate. Donald Trump is a fucking loser.

How is he doing well? He is flat out telling lies, and you would assume someone who is undecided would do some basic research. He also isn't answering the questions and showing zero empathy for those kids. Also a billionaire playboy saying he doesn't want to raise minimum wage to $15 is a horrific take.

Trump did well the first half. He's slipped over the 2nd half. His Healthcare and Minimum wage arguments are not winning arguments with moderates.

You have to admit that the bar is extremely low for trump though. So any time he isn't yelling and interrupting, will automatically make him sound better. But he's not hammering the liberals, he's just repeating the same lies over and over again, not sure that will really sway actual moderates.

northern burbs. sharonville

No kidding. My office used to be on East Kemper Rd, not far from the mall. I lived in Madeira, loved it there.

It would be a great anomaly if this debate made much of a difference in the election. None of the debates matter much, but the last one matters the least.

If done correctly why is that an issue?

Trump just compared himself to Abe Lincoln. The debate is over.

It sounded more like a plan would be in place within 100 days. I could have heard wrong though.

Biden: 500 kids don't know where there parents are

Trump: Good


That will definitely appeal to the moderates.

before covid i found a boardgaming group that played at the Madeira Inn. Holy fuck their pork chop sandwich was amazing

what mall? tri county?
that's like...not really sharonville but okay. that mall is dead as a dead thing.
not much left. Then there's forest fair mall in forest park. It was the 2nd biggest in ohio and now has like 4 stores still operable.

I've not read or heard that before. Big assumption on doing it "correctly".

Ah, okay "a plan" makes more sense.

I could walk to Madeira Inn. I was talking about Tri County. Used to go the the Dave and Busters. Would hit Costco for lunch, etc...Madeira was a great small town, awesome place to raise a family. We really enjoyed our time there.

If you have to say you are the least racist person in the room....you are the racist.

haha, The Abraham Lincoln comment got under his skin.

Im the least racism person in the room. HAHAHA

Okay, he is slipping.

Im just saying his argument against the 15 dollar minimum and repealing obamacare was targeted at moderates.

Did Biden say Abraham Lincoln is most racist president?

Need close caption here

That's how I interpreted it at least. I can't see it happening though with the way the Supreme Court will be configured here soon.
