#1 Gangsta rap versus mumble rap. Trump has often been accused of having delusions of grandeur. Biden, by contrast, clearly has delusions of mediocrity.

#2 Trump knew Biden and the moderator were controlling leftists so there was no way he was going to follow the rules or allow them to control the debate. Biden lied about his son all night.

#3 Dinesh "Like a disadvantaged fighter who is given a “handicap” to make it fair, Biden tonight had a handicap, and his name was Chris Wallace". Biden just repeated old media talking points. What was it 47 years of nothing.

#4 What made the debate a disaster is simple. Wallace kept wanting 1) Biden to spew lies without Trump interrupting him and then 2) completely change the topic without allowing Trump to refute what Biden just said about him.

Trump wasn't about to play along with that crap no matter how many times Wallace kept scolding Trump.

#5 The interesting bit is the Hispanic Channel Telemundo showed a poll of Trump winning the debate with Hispanic viewers of %66 to %34 the strongest polling either way of any group.

#6 I loved the look on Biden's face after Trump mentioned LTG Flynn and the shenanigans surrounding it.

#7 What I saw was a match-up between a street fighter and a perfumed prince, moderated by the prince's consigliere.

#8 Did Biden wear a wire?

#9 Trump played him well. Biden turned away from the left. Those loyal to Trump still are. This was a surgical job cutting away at Biden's voters. Hence media suggestion no more debates with Trump.

#10 wow, it sure looks like an electronic device. Low power transmitter with receiver power pack to let him use a microscopic earpiece? Since today he seems once again to be a drooling moron, was he juiced and implanted? All his responses seemed canned and long used talking points, perhaps the time in prep was teaching him phrases from memory t be triggered by someone. You have to wonder if Trump had people looking to capture signals?

#11 God help me, I am listening to the rerun and at up to the 5.50 mark it's pretty civil, then Biden drops this absolute clanger while discussing pre-existing conditions. He specifies pregnancy and says - incredibly - "they can charge more for a woman than for a man for the exact same procedure". WTAF? Is this some of this "individual with a cervix" crap or is he just that addle-pated.
