So I watched it *sigh*
Trump:
Saying his admin has the best environment? That we had H2O? Worst answers on that topic. Ever. He could have said so many other things like we could all go completely off the grid and it wouldn't change the climate because of other heavily populated countries who would rather work and feed their kids rather than virtue signal about political hysterias. Somehow managed to avoid answering I think two different questions because he was too busy rebutting Biden. The bickering about some general sassing off about Trump was unnecessary at that point. Otherwise I was a bit surprised that he wasn't a jackass all throughout. That helped him to some degree I think. It's a better look for him.
Biden:
Putting aside political ideology - I'm just angry at this point. When will we be able to be human? If anybody... ANYBODY... thinks that the equality in oldness is an indifferential at this point, they are not only idiotic but also profoundly lacking in compassion. And fuck you if you continue to insist that this is just a one-off. It's not. We've all watched what has been in front of us for years now and is it really so hard to admit that maybe the need to disagree with somebody "just because" was stupid? I enjoy arguing, too, but I have never felt the need to do it over this. It cuts too close to the bone for me. I will take the snide remarks about me for whatever, but I've been solid on this one thing for years. Let it bother you, I don't care, you'll be fine.
Anyway. Ok, so Biden's voice was hoarse. I don't think it was because he had a cold, I think his preppers really over did it with all the prep. Obviously. That doesn't excuse the slack open mouth or the staring off, etc. What he did manage to do decently imo was goad Trump a couple of times. But, goading Trump about a felony was a tactical error. He had no answer when Trump turned that back against him.
Media reaction:
I watched a bunch of reaction vids from all the big medias. Most of them did the performative schtick of being shocked. Morning Joe being the worst with the sadness and trembling voices.
What now?
Will the Dems keep Biden saying it was just a bad night, that everybody has one? That's generally true. And since they've been dry humping the progressive stack they'd love nothing more than to have President Dome, I mean President Harris, become president when Biden inevitably has to exit the stage. Or will they swap Biden out with Newsome? Id like to see that, actually. Dems need to feel what they vote for. It's easy for them to be blind when the results are seen from another city or state. Sometimes the only way to get out of something is to go through it.
Anyway, are there anymore of these debates coming up before the conventions?
