I agree with this, which is why I think its a disadvantage to prevent Trump from interrupting all the time. I think the interrupting helped Biden tremendously as it just became a shouting match. It was a shit debate, but excellent result for Biden.
And also agree with this. The rest was complete shit, except for:
The debate will happen
Biden will stick to his rehearsed answers and sound
Trump will freestyle it and
Fox News did that. They need shutting down.
Agreeance. So does this two party system. Weâve been reduced to arguing about a debate between two men who canât debate. Makes me ill.

Since it was brought up about that dishonest framing of Biden at the G7, here is Sam Sederâs take.
By the way, I know Conservatives seem to think âweâ liberals love Biden but I think Seder pretty accurately sums it up. He kind of sucks and there is valid criticism but the alternatives are much worse.

In contrast, Bidenâs memory lapses are most commonly supported by known deceptively edited SM content, and the characterization of him as a forgetful old man in the Special Counselâs report. Even though that was not actually his characterization of Biden but a statement that a jury may view him that way if they tried to bring charges against him, which he has already ruled out doing on the merits. Further, in Hurrâs own report he made several specific mentions to Bidenâs recall being very good.

Damn, two videos, I canât argue with that proof that Biden blasts Trump away both physically and mentally. I live and learn.
What about looking at the situation and the evidence and seeing that itâs just not a black and white case of one guyâs energetic and the other is old?
Trump clearly has trouble remembering names and staying on topic, Biden is hesitant and seems geriatric because he is. Neither of them is at the peak of their powers and both are prone to gaffes. Itâs a strange situation that the US finds itself in.
Rather than focussing on these areas which both candidates are weak in, it might be refreshing to actually look at their policies and what their administrations would do for the country.

Itâs not black and white. They both have issues, I just think itâs clear that Biden has more in this particular department. Itâs going to be important to some, not important to others.
Biden does not beat Trump in every literal comparison, no matter how partisan you are, or how much you hate Trump.
Even that is too deferential to the bad faith attacks bolstered by deceptively edited footage. Both candidates are old and diminished, but one of those is still cogent and able to demonstrate an understanding of the issues and other is utterly incoherent (that is Trump btw). Whether Trumpâs incoherence is due to him never knowing anything in the first place or mental deterioration is debatable, but regardless of the answer it makes a mockery of claims from anyone who would favour him over Biden because of their respective mental capabilities.

Good post as usual, sir. We could spend hours debating who is healthier. It is an important issue but none of us know and itâs all unpredictable anyway. Neither appears hearty and I donât like to wish against anyoneâs good health.
As for policy, my view is that one is already well to the right and testing even those limits because thatâs what he does for attention despite not knowing what he really stands for. The other is scrambling to the right because thatâs his long-time proclivity andâŚvotes over principles.
Itâs all awful. Really had hoped against hope theyâd both step aside. But absolute power corrupts absolutely.
PS: Jagger and Richards are clearly healthiest, which is so awesome and makes me happy.

Some of you might need to ignore the source. I cant find a pure video link.
Interesting video from Lichtman on his keys (Seems to be updated video), and on whether he thinks the Demâs should drop Biden (at about the 7:40 mark), and if he thinks the Trump convictions would make a difference (About the 7m mark).
Not in comparison of policy?
What are Trumpâs policies exactly? A one percent cut in corporate tax? A bigger wall? More hate?
Biden has done well on the economy and crime no matter what the Fox shrills say. His Achilles heel is the Middle East which Trump is not likely to do better on.
When it comes to actual politics, I donât see how Trump wins the argument.

Maybe we need to give a thought that Biden and Trump are sozzled most of the time, and that is what makes them appear incoherent⌠Or as it is pointed out, they just showing signs of old father time catching up to both of them

He said he will make a prediction around August or so. He is usually right, got one wrong, but it was the cheating Republicans screwing over Al Gore, so he was technically right.
We might be in uncharted territory with Trumpâs felonies, as that hasnât been in play with a Presidential candidate before, but it will be interesting to see what this fella predicts.
Dodgy toupee though.

I suspect his Achilles heel is that he is remarkably in favour of organised labour. Itâs just that the right wing media canât say that because it rather gives their game away. Hence the insinuations that he is senile.
I consider that a strength.
