TRUMP -- BIDEN 1ST DEBATE WINNER IS JOE BIDEN
Head fake?
The big question going into tonight’s debate was answered. A disrespectful Joe Biden demonstrated high energy, physical stamina, and an adequate level of mental acuity as both parties ranted and raved. Based on this single criterion, I judge Vice President Joe Biden to be the presumptive winner. If Biden retreats into his past behavior and fails to leave his basement to campaign, I will question whether there is the possibility of performance-enhancing drugs. At least, Biden overcame the low expectations of the GOP with his forceful presentation.
Did we learn anything new?
Not really. We have heard it all before. Nothing outstanding was revealed. Trump was Trump, loud, boisterous, repetitive, and Biden held his own even though he blatantly lied about his family and other matters.
Bottom line…
Political noise, moderated by Chris Wallace, who tried mightily to curtail the noise generated by both parties. The American public lost as there were no substantive answers.
We are so screwed.
