Presidential Debate #2? (Update: canceled for now) (1 Viewer)

[superchuck500]

The CPD announced this morning that a "virtual" debate would be preferred for the next squaring off between Trump and Biden, driven by Covid concerns. Trump quickly denounced the idea and said he wouldn't participate. There is a history of this kind of debate - Nixon and Kennedy debated from separate locations in 1960, and Reagan and RFK had a remote/virtual debate in 1967.

I think this is a good angle for Biden.

DNC really needs to pick up on that messaging that environmental policies can possibly lead to job creation (or, at worst, job transition) instead of job losses.

Biden is doing really well. George isn't throwing complete softball follow-up questions either. He's given he some tough political questions.

 

[B4YOU]

This from the Biden one

I think he is doing a solid job and exceeding my low expectations. Biden is giving details while coming of as a decent man. The format is so much better than having Trump interrupt every time Biden talks. He has handled the tough questions well. I think America is could do well with a decent man.

So I didn't watch it live, but I'm watching some of it now.

He was asked, what he will replace Obamacare with, and how will you do it? Like, you know, specifics.

"The problem with Obamacare is that it's not good".

Thank you for that detailed analysis President Trump.

"We want to give a less expensive healthcare that's better"

"Obamacare isn't great, I want to give great healthcare"

 

[MT15]

He has no idea about any policy questions because he doesn’t care about any of them. He only cares about watching tv to see how much they talk about him, and then rage tweeting. That’s about it.

 

[MT15]

Joe is staying to answer questions that audience members didn’t get to ask.

 

[wardorican]

He's not saying that Obama and Joe Biden killed Seal Team 6. He's just putting it out there for you to decide! Literally lol'ed

She was going at him pretty well, but she fails in one area, where the guy from Axios did brilliantly. "how" "why" "who"

 

[Foreign National]

He refused to say Democrats aren’t running a Satanic pedophile ring.

Mr Biden or Mr Trump?

Just a joke.

LOL - did you expect better?

This reminds me of a person that had to do a book report, but never read the book, and tries to wing it

 

[not2rich]

Trump seems like he's on coke right now - seriously.

 

[MT15]

Adderall, most likely.

 

[wardorican]

LOL - did you expect better?

No, but in these town halls it frustrates me more.

I'm watching Biden's now. He is actually giving examples, talking about an issue, the side issues, how he'd do it, he comes back to the person who asked the question, and he's been following up by making sure if he 'answered the question', which to me, seems like a resounding yes. He's not waffling at all.

It is an amazing contrast.

 

[wardorican]

Joe makes a great point about ignoring motive and don't assume a bad motive. Stick to the subject.

Sounds like he could be a Moderator on this site. haha.

(whereas, Trump would be banned).

I’m genuinely impressed he hung around to answer questions.

 

[wardorican]

I’m genuinely impressed he hung around to answer questions.

I went to one small gathering for Mayor Pete. Sadly, Pete wasn't there, but his husband Chasten was there. Chasten stuck around afterwards and just chatted a bunch of people up. I decided to hang back and just observe.

stuff like that sticks out. That people matter to them.

It is impressive. It’s also sad that it is impressive.
