The final debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, held on Thursday evening, was the first one of the entire campaign that actually felt like a debate.
The first debate was a chaotic disaster thanks to Trump’s constant interruptions... This time around, better moderation and the handy use of a mute button allowed both candidates to express their thoughts — leading to a mix of actual substantive policy exchanges and personal mudslinging.
The format seems to have suited Biden, who seemed energized and on-target — getting in a number of strong attacks on Trump’s record on Covid-19, health care, and family separations. ...
Winner: Joe Biden During the primary and general election, Biden hasn’t particularly shined on the debate stage. His answers meander and he mixes up words in ways that take the sting out from attack lines. But tonight, Biden was sharper and more on target — allowing his strong qualities, his command over policy and his ability to connect with ordinary Americans, to shine through.
During the first segment about the pandemic, for example, Trump said “we’re learning to live with it.” Biden responded with a possibly rehearsed, but nonetheless devastating response — “he says that we’re learning to live with it, people are learning to die with it.”
He continued needling Trump about his refusal to take responsibility for pandemic policy, provoking the president into the most embarrassing stumble from either candidate in the entire debate: “I take full responsibility. It’s not my fault that it came here. It’s China’s fault.” It’s a line that you can bet will be in anti-Trump attack ad in very short order.
Biden was like this for much of the debate, clever and empathetic and even a little feisty.

As I like to say, multiply the number of the leftist authors, and you have the level of lies. This time, we have NINE TIMES the lies. LOL
This was quite the load of hooey.
They need 9 people to come to idiotic concluions? Geez, even MSDNC can do it with one.
“The format seems to have suited Biden, who seemed energized and on-target.”
What kind of drugs did these idiots take before the debate?
Vox!!!!
LOL, Biden was like a drunk guy after 30 minutes and destroyed whatever small hope he had.
The oil industry comment was a gaffe that will long be remembered and quoted by political experts.
Vox, it’ll be fun to taste your tears of eternal sadness on the 3rd....
What do you hit any of them Laz?
/s
WTF? Blame Trump for the pandemic? The governors own the consequences. Most are liberal Democrats.
This little passage is a GEM:
“Trump tried to argue that Biden wasn’t tough on China because of business ties his son Hunter had there — and that somehow Biden made money off the deal. Biden denied those attacks (and there’s no evidence to support them), and then flipped it on Trump, bringing up New York Times reporting that revealed Trump had a previously unreported bank account in China.”
Yeah. There’s no evidence to support them..... EXCEPT A LAPTOP AND THREE PHONES FULL OF EMAILS AND SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO CORROBORATE THAT THE EMAILS ARE REAL!
These people just lie outright these days... which is a good segue to my next editorial.
Does the article include the famous line of BS “Biden hit a grand slam home run, outta da park...”? Cuz debate propaganda isn’t complete without it...
Wonder what Frank Luntz was paid to think about it?? LOL, hilarious so few freepers have seen the Biden email with Frank and how Luntz explained how he treats clients/fair weathered friends...
If you read it they had all these Vox “writers” write something then they stitched it together. It’s akin to finding a dozen Twitter posts then gluing them together and calling it journalism.
I must have missed those. Did anybody see these "strong attacks"?
The whole COVID "debate" is just ludicrous. Trump excels at crisis management. He acted quickly with the very few tools that were available to him - shutting off foreign visitors, ramping up PPE and ventilator production using the defense act, launching the COVID Task Force, launching the Project Warpspeed to create vaccines, pre-purchasing billions of dollars of vaccines, getting money out to those who need it. What else could possibly have been done?
To call this "bungled" is just ridiculous, especially given the zero executive skills and gross mismanagement of government by Obama and Biden. The "bungled COVID response" I think only plays with people who hate Trump in the first place and are looking for another reason to hate him more.
The young kids today, they have no idea how to do agit-prop.
I stopped reading right there. You'd have to be watching a different debate if you thought that addled-brained, decrepit specimen who was seriously experiencing sundown syndrome throughout appeared energized and on target.
9 Authors of that article... I guess they have to split the earnings of that article then? Each get....$1.50? Paid for by some ads that promote vintage photos that are “jaw dropping” ....
The bank account was open 2013 to 2015 and was reported on his financial statements. The idiots can’t be bothered with details.

(A) Joe Biden was the first to interrupt at the first debate
(B) Joe and the moderator continued to interrupt Trump at last night’s debate
(C) They muted Trump’s mic
(D) They did NOT mute Joe’s mic when he was interrupting Trump repeatedly
Stalinists lie. Always
What would you guess the average age is of these ‘reporters’? Me? I’m guessing low 20s and don’t ask about matching IQs!
AND I loved this kudo to Biden for the great response on China; “New York Times reporting that revealed Trump had a previously unreported bank account in China.” Yep, just like the Charlottesville lie, repeat until the horse is even more dead! Truth? Trump’s business DISCLOSED on IRS tax forms, that are legally confidential without court order, an account in a country he has done business in for years!
What a triumph for the basement dwelling followers of Vox!
