      I hear you. All you hear about is how incoherent Biden is… Bullshit. He comes across as articulate and knowledgeable here. Trump hasn’t said anything at all yet. He just keeps spouting idiotic generalizations about how bad the state of the country is without any examples or proof.

        Calling Biden articulate is being incredibly generous. I mean, what on earth was he trying to communicate here?

        Overall, Biden put in a very lackluster, unconvincing performance while Trump did his usual schtick of rambling off topic, lying through his teeth, and refusing to answer any questions on policy. The whole thing was a shambles.

        No, it’s hard to watch because Biden needs to clear his throat and keeps drifting off.

        Trump keeps not answering questions and lying and dodging.

        It’s all around pathetic.

          One guy is slightly hoarse.

          The other is a delusional fascist.

          So basically both sides the same.

            I didn’t say they were the same. That’s a weird thing to say. I said they were both pathetic.

            Because they both are.

        I hear you. All you hear about is how incoherent Biden is… Bullshit

        During a response to a question about abortion, Biden mentioned, seemingly out of nowhere, a young woman who was recently murdered by an immigrant — an apparent reference to a 12-year-old Houston girl who was strangled to death, allegedly by two Venezuelan men who entered the country illegally.

        The connection to abortion was unclear.

        Didn’t they say there would be live fact checking?

        Sigh.

          It might be live on the CNN site? I’m watching the PBS stream on Youtube since the CNN embed video refuses to load and kept crapping out.

            I watched the CNN stream on YouTube and there was no fact checking.
