Okay, I gave it a day to think about the debate as I was not in any mood to write anything yesterday. Some of you may not agree with me and if so, please feel free to say so in your comment. I’ve read all the BS coming across the internet for two days, and feel I must say something now.
Winner? Well, if there was any one of the three debaters, I would say it was a draw. Yes, I said three. Wallace was the worse mediator I have witnessed since debating began years ago. Several times it appeared the debate was between the President and Wallace. And I have to say, I expected that when I discovered who would be the moderator. Like the saying about apples falling from the tree, he is his Dad’s son.
Our president showed off his bullying. He appeared pissed when he walked onto the stage, and it got worse as the debate went on. Why did he have to get personal about Biden’s son? Yes, I know he is a dirtbag, but Biden’s reply was surely accepted by the left.
There is much empathy out there for Biden and his mental problems among his side of the aisle, and all Trump did was increased it. Trump needed to shut up and let Biden talk. The more he talked the more his mental condition was coming out. I feared that Biden would be wearing something that would allow him to expose his mental issues. And I saw this on the internet this morning:
Some have said this is fake; I don’t think so. Numerous times when he was quiet it appeared he was listening to someone. And it was then that he looked into the camera instead at the moderator and gave his “Vote” speech. I’m suspect he was signaled to do that.
But is sum, I was mad at Trump and his bullying, and his constant interruptions. But I will say that questions were asked of Trump when it was his two-minute turn, Wallace would ask Trump more questions interrupting him talking time away from his two-minutes which used up his time. I believe that was Wallace’s plan. Also, I thought some of the questions were way off base and dealt primarily with the past. He’d set the stage for the question by bringing up things Trump (and Biden) had said, then ask a question. Of course, this caused Trump to attack the past issues he used to set the stage before he got to the question and that’s when Wallace would interrupt him.
Overall, the whole event sucked big time with no obvious winner! Our president needs to act presidential dammit! A woman said it best on a Facebook page. She said—paraphrased—I don’t like the way Trump acts and his constant bullying, but I do not elect a president based on his personality, I vote for a person because of his agenda and his plan for America; that’s why I will vote for Trump again.
And I too do not cast a vote for a personality; how stupid is that? However, many folks do just that. I may be pissed at Trump, but I will still vote for him!!!!!
Your turn—let me have it!
