| The Debate Post-Mortem |

| It's Kurt [Townhall] It was a bit surprising that Grandpa Badfinger showed up Tuesday, and also a bit surprising that he didn’t start a chat with an invisible friend or Nadler himself on stage. Nor was it surprising that Donald Trump came in hard and fast, particularly since it was two against one. The Coast Guard’s got nothing on Chris Wallace in terms of tossing drowning men life preservers. Who won? Trump, by a little. This was not a “disaster” or “a mess” simply because it got loud and unruly. With one possible caveat, it was not likely to move the needle. And this was peak Biden – he gets no better than this. He did a dozen early am lids prepping to basically achieve not falling over and mumbling to himself as he jerked and twitched on the floor. |

| #7 In a way, it's a pity that expectations for Joe Biden were set so low. He is being celebrated just for being able to form coherent sentences and not drooling on himself? I think it takes a lot more than that to be President. |

| #6 Zinger of the debate: (Trump to Wallace) "I guess I'm debating you, not him". |

| #5 Trump missed some knock-out punch opportunities. Thought the same thing but then realized that Wallace kept him off-guard most of the night. It was a three-way race and Joe came in last. |

| #4 No-one watched it (65% less viewing figures) , so whoever you get your narrative from will tell you who "won"... |

| #3 Trump accomplished a great deal. Base is as solid as ever. Biden however lost his left. Sanders followers are disenchanted. So who has got the momentum. The red wave is stronger than ever. 47 years versus nearly four years and who has accomplished the most for this country. The Dem's have no future. Same old same old. |

| #2 Maybe Trump should show up to debate Harris since Lyin' Biden might not make it to the inauguration should he steal the election. |

| #1 It was hardly a "debate", but since we are calling it that, it was royally fooked up with quite possibly Chris Wallace being the worst of the three. I think Biden "won" only because he didn't fall flat on his face literally or figuratively. Trump missed some knock-out punch opportunities. I look forward to the VP debate more than any more presidential ones. But I'm sure the format will be woefully skewed in favor of the Dems. Pence will handle himself well. |
