Good morning patriots

Hope everyone slept well after the president soundly beat up China Joe.

Server issues here have been discussed at length but we'd love to test them. If everyone would just invite their friends here we should be able to get an accurate test. 20 million users should be acceptable.

We've had some great threads and comments about what happened last night. Now that you've had time to digest it we'd like to give you the opportunity to seriously discuss any questions, issues, or anything that happened.

Top level comments should be only something that happened during the debate. Links to highlights, fact checks, questions, etc.

For those who missed it.

You know what I love? Muting the mic absolutely backfired on the Dems. It kept Trump more focused and on topic since Biden couldn't interrupt and derail Trump by getting Trump pissed and riled up whenever Biden lies.

I have noticed that one thing that will absolutely set Trump off like a firecracker is when someone lies and rightfully so. However the muted mic also stopped Trump from "saving" Biden like he did last time.

Moderator secretly making Trump look more competent by making Trump give very concrete answers, for example, 3 big companies working on the vaccine, plans to use army logistics to distribute vaccine and vaccine has a timeline of several weeks. Biden gets a softball question and only gives a vague answer of "shutdown the virus." What does that even mean?

I also may have misheard this portion but at one point did Biden say that Abraham Lincoln was racist?

It's also very possible that Trump took the feedback from his conversation on Rush Limbaugh's show and used it to improve himself, because Rush also did point out that Trump made a mistake in the first debate by interrupting Biden and in essence it indirectly saved Biden from making more gaffes and rambling on. I really enjoyed that segment, it was nice to have someone having a constructive back and forth dialogue with the President. I hope he continues to make appearances on Rush's show.
