(37,224 posts)Because he answered the questions and told the truth.
I want a President who isnt a psychopath.
kansasobama
(1,541 posts)I am disgusted with the campaign for making this decision. A debate only helps Trump and his minions who love his lies. That is what Hitlers followers do. Why are we thinking this is a fair game. To be honest, Biden did not do a good job and that compounded the issue

(1,179 posts)President Biden won every point on a factual level, but apparently that doesnt matter.

(18,458 posts)Look at Nixon/ Kennedy.
karynnj
(59,999 posts)In the 1960s debate, Kennedy looked handsome, comfortable and witty. Nixon was not ready for TV. Kennedy was charming. Trump was an obnoxious bully. It showed in his face, his demeanor, and his voice.

(96,882 posts)Trump "won" because he was able to moderate his craziness for the sake of the undecided voter audience.

(30,504 posts)His voice was very low. He stuttered.
Johonny
(22,224 posts)They got the horse race and drama they needed to sell this turkey to the American people. Expect a long expensive financially lucrative election season.
Won lost, the American voter. But they've allowed this to happen to themselves.

(96,882 posts)Im on Bidens side and he lost in the context of achieving his debate goals.
republianmushroom
(18,140 posts)They will tell you the convicted felon did. Ask any Dem who won and they will tell you Biden did.
Neither, any Dem or a republican will change there vote after this debate and an independent is still confused
as who they will vote for declaring neither "won".
brooklynite
(96,882 posts)My mother doesn't feel that way.
People in my Democratic funding circle don't feel that way.
A mailing list of journalists I'm on don't feel that way.
Flash poll of viewers had 67% said Trump won. The pool certainly includes Democrats.
One things I've always done to center my political activity is to accept reality. Biden had an incredibly bad night.
republianmushroom
(18,140 posts)And is your mother going to vote for the convicted felon and are these others who think the convicted felon "won" is that enough to change their vote or will they not cast a ballot, now ?
brooklynite
(96,882 posts)He likely didn't gain any undecided or soft-D voters which he needs to supplement the base.
republianmushroom
(18,140 posts)They are not as dumb as republicans who will vote for the convicted felon.
The choice between the two is staggering. One only has to remember what the trump presidency was like to vote Biden.
brooklynite
(96,882 posts)A good number of them are here.
republianmushroom
(18,140 posts)The choice is up to them. But if they think about it there is only one choice.
But then again there are some damn dumb so called Dems that may vote for the convicted felon.
Did you ask your mother who she is now going to vote for and why ? Sounds like she as these soft Dems you speak of are closet republicans.
brooklynite
(96,882 posts)She was always voting for Biden. All my friends and political contacts are voting for Biden.
You're missing the point that while THEY are voting for Biden, they're all worried that OTHER people won't vote for Biden and Trump will take back the White House.
republianmushroom
(18,140 posts)And like it posted it is a long time to Nov.
LeftInTX
(30,504 posts)His stuttering, older voices and low voices.
Also Biden said too much when he responded.
Both Biden and Trump don't seem to have alot of flexibility in their speech. (It's an older age thing)
Trump used it to his advantage, by repeating garbage.
Biden stalled because he was thinking or forming the correct words. This gave time for Trump to come up with garbage retorts.
Joe was discussing his accomplishments and got taken off guard.
I think Joe's one-liners were really good. However, they weren't loud enough.
Joe needs to deliver more one-liners and less policy. He needs to KISS. He's not really "debating", when he's "debating" Trump.
Maybe Obama can help him out.

TheFarseer
(9,512 posts)But Trump executed his strategy and Biden largely did not.
My only hope is everyone has already made up their mind.
TexasDem69
(2,317 posts)Trump for his lies and Biden for all the reasons discussed here today.
You simply cant lie in debates as often as Trump does if the activity is to be taken seriously.
Playing into stereotypes and criticisms, Biden had a worse night than Trump. But neither would get my vote based on this debate.
