Aren't contestants supposed to be asked the same question in a debate? Like: what is your plan for ____? Wallace was trying to interview each candidate individually...that's not a debate!

LOL that's true. Rose is like the illogical, emotional inner voice of suburban white women personified.

He already has dozens of times. And he wasn't asked to condemn white supremacist, he was asked to condemn them AND militias. In conflating the two, they were putting him in the position to make the distinction which would look even worse. Instead, he made them be specific. And look at that got them--sure, they can smear Trump, but now the Biden campaign is being sue for libel for calling Kyle a white supremacist and Wallace was put in a tenuous legal position for implying that Proud Boys is a white supremecist organization.

My wife hates Trump because of his personality and because she doesn't actually pay attention to policy. However, every time she hears the Democrat's plans or policies, she thinks its a terrible idea. Its almost like she wants to vote for Biden to spite Trump, but she can't bring herself to do it. Recently she has brought up voting for a third party.

I get the feeling his role is to be a hack. Like they book him to be a level 1 enemy that's easily beat up.

The thing with voting is you can't actually vote AGAINST anyone--you have to vote FOR someone (even if it is to spite the other candidate). Dems still have to give a lot of fence-sitters a reason to vote for Biden, but he keeps making staying at home and bitching about both candidates more attractive than voting. I don't think the "not Trump" platform is going to get enough people to vote, especially when the rest of the platform is extended shut downs and higher taxes (what a deal!)

His game plan was to turn the debate into a rally. He didn't let Joe get any good sound bites, because he interrupted him with specific examples that undermine nearly all of his points. So if the MSM want to cover what Biden said, they cannot use much of the footage without also disproving Biden. Meanwhile, in so doing, he owned the debate. It became all about Trump's talking points. It may seem "rude" to people, but only to the people that wanted Biden to win. If a true independent were watching, they would probably be most interested in the bombshells dropped (especially if they haven't been paying attention): the spying, the rigging, the corruption behind Hunter, Biden's plan to increase taxes, Biden's support for the Green New Deal, and other things that contradict the prevailing media narrative. Essentially, Trump made Democrats and independents watch and participate in his rally. The most telling piece of evidence for that was the way he ended it: a call to action to be a poll watcher for all his supporters.

He interrupted to help him back peddle talking about the Green New Deal

The debate was a campaign rally. When you look at it that way, it all makes sense. There is no prize for “winning” the debate. Partisan politics are polarized right now and there is not a possibility of swaying any Democrats. Independents favor Trumps policies and Trump supporters need to be energized leading up to the election. Trump was able to call Biden out in front of everyone, remind people of his record, point out recent updates related to the coupe and election rigging, and he ended by encouraging the base to be poll watchers. Basically, he put the enemies on notice and rallied the troops

You’re basing your measurements on appeasing the opponent and that is a losing strategy. There are no Democrats susceptible to being swayed right now, and Joe lost the independents with his opposition to energy jobs, support for GND, and push for more taxes

Nah, Biden was fake and scripted, he didn't actually answer the questions, and any "points" he scored were based on lies that will have to be addressed when the media tries to cover the debate. The only thing Biden was able to go hard on was the Covid thing, but he ended by encouraging more lock-downs, which are very unpopular, so he squandered any momentum he had with that. The media won't be able to show many actual clips of the debate because Trump kept referencing specific events that viewers could research if not addressed by the hosts. So what the media is going to do is just call it "a mess" and call Trump a bully, but everyone already thinks Trump is aggressive anyway, and his base appreciates that about him. Meanwhile, Biden could not even reconcile his own platform. Is he "the" Democrat Party, or does he hold no sway over Democrat leaders? Is he against the Green New Deal or is he for it like he eventually said in the debate (and on his website and in the past)? Is he for fracking or against it tonight and why does that keep changing? Does he want to "reimagine" law enforcement or strengthen it (either way he is losing more support than gaining)? It is true that many people have already made up their minds, but the "general population" most want the Covid lockdowns to end, fewer taxes not more, law and order (in response to all the rioting), and the "general population" is aware of and hates corrupt politicians--and that is where trumps kill shot was tonight: Why did Hunter receive so much money from Russia and China? Biden's (self) kill shot was denoucing the Green New Deal (alienates his radical base) and then supporting it (by mistake, but that's only because the "Biden" deal is the GND with a different name), thus alienating whatever remaining moderate Democrates there are. Even Wallace didn't cover for Biden on that gaffe.

At what point was this in the debate? What was the topic being discussed?

Wrong. His aggression in the debates is his strength. Otherwise the deck is totally stacked against him. He has to be pushy or else he'll end up looking like Jeb.

Biden came with his Covid talking points first because that was the heart of their attack strategy, but he wasted all his ammo and didn't have anything left by halfway through the debate.

Yeah, it was the first thing Kevin Eastman, the co-creator of Ninja Turtles, bought after getting the money from the cartoon deal.

I always hear that Cali is “temperate” all year, but that’s hot as fuck. Everyone complains about the heat and humidity here in South Carolina, but it never gets that hot.

I know it’s fact because there is subject verb agreement. If it said “is” or “be” instead of “are,” I might have believed it.

You’re right. Malcolm X was not a good guy. But his rhetoric can be used to highlight some Democrat hypocrisy, and they are still using the same information war tactics that they used when he was active

That’s only for the actual flag, not non-flags with the image of the flag on it. His gaiter is a gaiter with a design that resembles the flag, not a flag cut/sewn into a gaiter.

In my district, a survey was sent out and the majority of parents wanted their kids to stay home. I think they will come to regret that. The district created an overly-complex virtual learning program even though we already had a functional self-paced online school option that the district paid for (created by our textbook publisher). So parents could have just done that, but maybe they associate it with teen pregnancies and kids with behavior problems. So essentially, they "reinvented the wheel," but the new wheel has a flat tire. I'm actually one of the teacher forced to teach through video meetings. It doesn't work. The district keeps changing the schedules and requirements, so I have to keep throwing away my lessons and materials and starting over--I'm working twice as hard and have nothing to show for it. Normally teachers and students start the school year with excitement and energy that lasts until around 3rd quarter, but I can already feel that the students and I are becoming more and more demoralized by this situation after just the first week. There was already a rise in teen suicides and domestic abuse when the school system shut down last time...I fear what a prolonged period of forced isolation will do if this continues.
