Trump's debate performance was filled with lies and grievances, lacking any substantive points. His reference to "Black Jobs" was undeniably racist, and he consistently dodged direct questions. The CNN moderators failed to challenge his torrent of falsehoods, letting them go unchecked. While many focused on criticizing Biden, Trump was painting a dystopian and detached vision of America.
The reality is - Joe Biden is delivering on his campaign promises - and will continue to do so in a second term. All Trump will do is spend four years tearing that progress down with a big fat sharpie pen. Poor performance or not, no one should sit idly by and let Trump get anywhere near the White House again. We must #VOTE
Yes. That’s exactly what the post is trying to say. In the long run, it means very little how a successful president speaks on a debate. That format isn’t even really a debate per se. What matters is what they have done and will continue to do. The post was in response to shallow conservative commentaries whose authors care more for appearance and rhetoric than reality and responsibility. They were picking apart Biden in a petty, callow way.
I was shocked by CNN's comments too. Criticizing his performance or ability is reasonable. Shit, I was yelling at my TV. But they were coming at him, which millions of people watched and it's going to discourage all dems. It was an odd strategy.
The fact is the CNN moderators and post debate commentators failed. Trump lied. Over and over again. They pounced on the “optics” of the debate instead of focusing on all the fear mongering, racist lies that poured through Donald Trump’s mouth. It was a journalistic embarrassment.
US politics is no longer about policies or facts. It's about the theatre and the sport of it. CNN did exactly what gets ratings: performed. Embarrassing is right.
True & thank you.
Biden looked awful. No one wants Harris as president.
It wasn’t a debate when one candidate was allowed to roam freely in a field of lies and fear mongering. Hell, I would have had a difficult time trying to counter all the lies Trump was allowed to spew. It must have felt like drinking water from a fire hose. This dumpster fire lays at the feet of the moderators for not checking Trump for continuously failing to answer any direct question.
I'd rather have Harris than Hitler 2.0.
It was a double interview mostly with some "what is your response"
