I agree. Only problem was she would try to redirect to another "follow up" before Trump could directly respond to Biden's accusations. Saw him actually taking a few notes though to help remember, so it seemed to work.

This was my first thought as well. She knew that what Savannah did will likely dog her for the rest of her career.

She took lessons out of the Wallace and Savannah disaster. Those were abominations. I was really pleased with the way she let them go back and forth even when the responses were becoming repetitive and becoming unproductive. Did didn’t let her bias show. She did bring up foreign policy. Thank God! She even brought up NK, which I’ve been begging for. NK needs to be remembered for what is was, imminent nuclear war. That was an amazing moment and I’ve got to credit her with allowing that to be discussed in depth. She also didn’t Candy Crowley Trump with falsely discrediting the Hunter laptop allegations.

It left me feeling good.

He was revising the next trade deal with China while letting Joe repeat talking points. Time is money.

WhoBuiltTheCages 18 points ago +18 / -0

I think that taking notes was also part of the strategy for getting him to not interrupt. It worked

ADAM_SCHITT 34 points ago +35 / -1

Yeah it looked like he was taking a lot of notes the whole time

Maybe writing down all his Joe insults so he didn't have to say them out loud.

GingerMan512 20 points ago +20 / -0

I was busy last night. The only part I saw was Trump drilling Joe about foreign money. Biden tried to answer and she stopped him and moved on to climate change or some bullshit.

She was much more fair than expected but still interrupted the president several times while never interrupting Joe.

Debates should be at least 4 hours if not 8.

53
Libertas_Vel_Mors 53 points ago +54 / -1

Precisely.

Compared to the other two debate hacks, she actually was pretty fair and even-handed.

This does not speak well for Chris Wallace.

59
RaginJake379 59 points ago +59 / -0

The bar is so god damn low.

14
PosterIsDead 14 points ago +14 / -0

True. But even President Trump gave her a compliment.

10
Kompromat 10 points ago +10 / -0

She really shouldn't be overly praised. The debate was editorially framed to disadvantage Trump with the choice of topics, which mirrored Dem platform priorities. Regarding the low bar... it's too bad it seems unique when Hunter Biden is even allowed to come up. The Bobulinski press conference might have made ignoring it impossible. Many TD.win people were starting to really openly hate on Giuliani/Bannon Thursday. But the Bobulinski appearance deserves credit as pretty significant.

Transgirl_4_Trump 6 points ago +6 / -0

Yea, the unabomber is pretty fair minded and reasonable compared to what we've had to deal with the past few years. She clearly was trying to be at least a little fair and it showed. Now her career will probably be ruined by the leftist mob, poor girl.

She probably didn't want to sink her career in one evening like Wallace did.

Also it's obvious now that the rats are leaving the sinking ship. They know what's cooking.

anyone else got that sinking feeling when biden looked directly into the camera mumbling his memorized lines. good god, it was like staring into dementia itself. Trump called him out on it at one point though

Surprisingly, much more fair and balanced than pos Wallace.

Wallace is trying so hard to try and distance himself from FoxNews he has become just another media hack.

Nah she kept talking over trump then give biden unlimited response time ('mr president you have 10 seconds... joe you may respond')

She also muted the president twice, well someone did and Biden zero. I'm not sure his mic was ever muted.

WOMP_WOMP_FAGGOT 8 points ago +8 / -0

I did see at one point he said "not true" while the president was speaking and it didn't pick up on the mic, but that was it.

28
willswim4pizza 28 points ago +31 / -3

Yes...but a lot of this was purely because Trump was the aggressor and wanted to speak far more often. Biden basically didn't say anything substantial the entire night except to struggle through answering each question coherently.

If she never interrupted Trump then he'd never stop talking and burying Biden TBH. And that's what we love about him.

I don't know, the few times I heard Biden interrupt was really obnoxious. His mic should have been muted when it wasn't his time.

so, yes, she was just there to protect Biden then.

Way better than Chris Wallace. She was passive aggressive on her attacks on POTUS. Where as Chris Wallace was overtly helping Biden.

42
kag-2020- 42 points ago +47 / -5

Exactly. She never talked over Joe, but constantly spoke over the President. Very disrespectful.

28
LiquidAsylum 28 points ago +35 / -7

idk how this site keeps saying she was good. Better than Chris Wallace, sure but I don't know how we can honestly say good.

When Trump stopped to say she was doing a good job I was very surprised because she kept talking over him but not Biden, yet I guess this IS the most fair debate moderator Trump has ever had which is SAD!!!

32
ADAM_SCHITT 32 points ago +33 / -1

It was by far the best we could have hoped for from a liberal moderator. She helped Joe a little bit but it wasn't the full 1 vs 2 like we expected. It allowed Trump to shine since he didn't have to argue with 2 people.

7
permissible_missile 7 points ago +9 / -2

Yeah and I don't know how people can say she was that bad. Compared to virtually the entirety of the media in terms of their treatment of Trump, she gave him the 5 star experience with a happy ending. I know "the bar is low". That's life. Get with the program...

5
tcriv 5 points ago +5 / -0

she wasn't good like a truly neutral or patriotic moderator would be, but she was outstanding relative to what we expect from these hostile media scumbags.

they probably see the writing in the wall tbh

You're not wrong, but compared to Chris Wallace she was a huge improvement.

She saw an opportunity to come out as the best moderator and took it.

Pretty easy when that bar is set all the way at the bottom of the barrel.

MAGA_Master 10 points ago +10 / -0

It was like when everyone was like “Joe did great at the debate” just because he could put semi coherent thoughts together.

6
Dahnald2020 6 points ago +6 / -0

Same energy as "Joe's DNC speech was so good. He spoke for almost 30 minutes without mentioning leg hair, roaches, or corn pop"

5
TheThreeSeashells 5 points ago +5 / -0

He didn't even do that. Then when he WAS semi-coherent he was telling the country he was going to shut the country down again, kill the oil industry and fracking, and give amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens. I think they would have preferred he went into one of his mumbling, incoherent rants a lot more often.

Instead they essentially had him going back and forth between putting his foot in his mouth and rambling on like the dementia patient he is. Anyone who watched that and claimed it was even a draw is a liar and they know it.

Came here to say a version of this. She did way better than Chris Wallace. I think it was all the shit coming out about her beforehand that kept her in line, but credit where it's due.
