"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.
You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."
"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.
Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."
Edit And that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone!
tl;dw:
Consensus is Trump didn’t so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.
The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.
I voted for Biden and I’ll vote for him again to keep a fascist out of office, but it is quite clear that the best thing Democrats could do is to have Biden back out and put forth a younger charismatic candidate. Age and the excitement about someone fresh would be enough to sweep this. That’s just a reflection of what polls are already telling us. The debate just started, but it’s quite clear that the optics of a debate thus far are going to Trump.
100% agree. Imagine Buttigieg up there running circles around Trump.
Buttigieg, Booker, Abrams, fuck even Warren despite her age would mop the floor with Trump.
I know Warren did that goofy Indian thing, but I’ll forever remember her as the person who fights for regular citizens.
Walz. Added benefit is that Walz used to be a school teacher, he definitely knows how to deal with a child throwing a tantrum.
Wild that I got downvoted to hell like 9 months ago for suggesting such a thing
Me too, my friend. Me too.
