Members marceline Posted October 22, 2020 Members Share Posted October 22, 2020 There's been a spike in activity the last few days from Bernie Sanders dead-enders and, of course, the hacks at Politico are happy to amplify it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Donald looks weary and slow at tonight's debate. End of his first answer (word salad) and Trump looks winded and agitated. He got that look at the end of his first answer that is always his tell when he's off balance. Grilled on a vaccine timeline, Trump backtracks and says it could be "by the end of the year". He's restrained so far, but lethargic. The media may kvell over the "new tone" again, but that's not worth getting agitated about - it never lasts and it never is reflected in public opinion, so they all back off.

Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Biden is much more energized tonight than Donald so far. "'Learning to live with it?' We're dying with it!" [...] "Instead of being in a sand trap in his golf course, he should've been working with the Congress." LOL - Donald is now denying he didn't take responsibility, saying "I take full responsibility" but then blaming China. Trump rambles about NYC some more. Joe: "I don't look at this as blue states and red states. They're all the United States." Trump now playing defense on his comments about Fauci. "I think he's a Democrat, but that's okay!" Trump has nothing tonight. He's soft, full of excuses and clearly trying to stay on message but it's not going to pull votes. The Beltway may cream over him being quiet and not interrupting much (yet, anyway) but Joe is very strong tonight and Trump comes off lethargic. And now, Donald's losing his temper. Biden scored points bringing up Rudy, Putin and the bounties on soldiers again. Edited October 23, 2020 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Trump is rambling about Hunter, and suddenly just claimed Joe was "selling pillows and sheets". The baffled look on Joe's face (and mine) was priceless. That line is going to be the takeaway from tonight. Joe is now bringing up Trump's secret Chinese accounts. He's having fun. Trump is once again defending not releasing his tax returns. Weak night all around for him. Trump is now rambling about Joe being "the big man" in China. "You're the big man, I think!" Over and over! LOL "Stop playing around!" Trump is struggling not to interrupt as Biden mocks him for not revealing his taxes in four years. Losing his temper. "They spied on my campaign!" Joe is laughing. Trump is now rambling about "Muller". New Tone Thursday is officially over, but Joe is doing very well and staying above the fray. Happy and smiling. Trump foolishly leaves Joe the opening to bring up Ukraine and the impeachment again. Trump is now babbling.

Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Pressed by Welker on how to sanction China, Trump has no answer. Joe addressing the camera again: "There's a reason he's bringing up all this malarkey. It's not about his family or my family, it's about your family, and your family's hurting right now. [...] We should be talking about your family, and that's the last thing he wants to talk about." Trump is angry, ranting and mocking Joe's rhetoric about the family table. This whole thing has been bad for Donald, but that retort about Biden's family table rhetoric is the fatal blow for him with the Beltway. Trump whines about his good relationships with dictators. Biden: "We had a good relationship with Hitler before the war, too." Trump interrupting and angry now. Biden invokes the public option! Joe is having a ball, laughs as Trump stares directly into the camera, bugeyed and miserable. Now Trump is ranting about Kamala and Bernie. The new tone is long gone. Joe: "He's a very confused guy. He thinks he's running against somebody else. He's running against Joe. Biden." Donald is melting down.

Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Trump on a relief bill: "Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to approve anything - " Welker: "But you're the president." Biden finally invokes the Heroes Act. Rails against the GOP doing nothing, McConnell and Trump doing nothing. "Mitch McConnell said let 'em go bankrupt!" Trump is now rambling about the bill being for "high crime Democrat cities" and illegals. Biden replies: "When I get elected, I'm gonna be an American president. I don't see red states and blue states, what I see is America, United States!" The media loves this sort of thing, BTW You can handwring if you want to, but Joe is killing it tonight. He has also succeeded in both making Trump lose control and keeping him at bay at the same time. Welker to Trump: "How will you reunite [undocumented] kids with their families?" Trump rambles about coyotes and cartels. Joe: "Their parents were with them! They separated them from their parents! And it makes us a laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation! Parents were ripped from their arms and they were separated! It's criminal!" Trump just said "only the lowest iQ" immigrants/asylum seekers come back legally? Edited October 23, 2020 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Biden brings up the Central Park 5. Trump is now babbling about "the laptop from Hell". Trump is uhhh, doing some sort of supposed BLM chant: "Pigs in a blanket/Fry em/Like bacon!" Admits he "doesn't know what to say" to unhappy Black voters. Trump: "I am the least racist person in this room!" Biden: "Abraham Lincoln here is the most racist president we've had in modern history." Invokes the Proud Boys. "This guy is a dogwhistle about as big as a foghorn!" Edited October 23, 2020 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 Kristen Welker seems to be getting a lot of praise on both sides, at least where I’m looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 23, 2020 Members Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) ABC says it didn't do enough to change the race for Trump. "Joe Biden had his best debate in 2020." Said he was surprisingly aggressive and very strong. Edited October 23, 2020 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
