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.

Bingo. She was more looking out for her future. I think she realized that being considered a “moderate” can get you paid by both sides. She still interrupted President Trump way too many times to bail out Sleepy Joe. Don’t think she deserved that compliment from President Trump.

Trump is just used to the worst possible behavior from the media, so bad behavior seems not so bad.

She actually hadn't done that too much before the compliment. The compliment almost gave her permission to step it up a notch.

The exact moment I knew he would be president. Lmao. True story.

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.

revising the next trade deal with China while letting Joe repeat talking points

"The tariffs just got 10 PERCENT HIGHER."

- GEOTUS, if China doesn't stop fucking around

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

I agree his manner in both debates was planned. The game plan for the first debates was to bully Biden, show the world Biden is soft. The second debates was was about being Presidential and picking apart Biden with facts.

Both strategies are meant to pick apart Biden just to different crowds. First debate was for the his base, second was for the undecideds.

FireannDireach 12 points ago +12 / -0

This. First debate, he came out guns blazing and talked AT Joe.

Last night, he talked TO Joe, and while he was slicing hunks of old fag meat off his bones, he was nice about it. He even showed the stuttering old prick empathy - something the libs insist he's incapable of.

Joe was just a mean, shitty old man from the first moment...then the drugs wore off.

I agree with you. The media narrative (which in this case is somewhat accurate) is that the challenger always "wins" the first debate with an incumbent. Trump was having none of that, so he brute forced Joe into silence. Absolutely planned and executed perfectly. Nobody remembers anything Joe said at the first debate.

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

We’re talking about Trump’s notes, not Biden’s

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

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.

Donald Deadpan strikes again! I'm sure he does it on purpose; he's so animated and expressive all the time that when he just stops and stares for a moment it is more powerful than if he lit the state on fire.

Oh yeah, that was when Biden was trying to say "Russian disinformation" but could only manage "Russian ....... that is not true".

I love it when Trump smiles! He had such a wide and happy smile throughout the debate. I don't know if it is my bias talking but honestly when Trump smiles, he just seems so happy and genuine. His smile goes from ear to ear. Now, when Biden smiles, he shows his teeth and looks like a troll. It's uncanny and sometimes, when he is looking straight at the camera, it is downright terrifying.

Can anyone share my sentiment or am I just biased?

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

Transgirl_4_Trump 9 points ago +9 / -0

She was pretty fair. Though at this point I think that us pedes would consider Blackbeard to be 'pretty fair minded and reasonable' compared to what we've had to deal with the past few years.

Debates should be at least 4 hours if not 8.

Biden wouldn't last four hours. He was drained after an hour and a half, checking his watch to see if it was almost time to go back to his basement.

Joe, looking at his watch: "If this keeps going, I won't have time for my Ovaltine before I have to go nappy by."
