Joe Biden is over here kicking Trump's ass and you're all complaining about the mod.

So, either I am watching a completely different debate, or I'm a fan boy and Trump is kicking Biden's butt, and running over him, because the only people who complain about the moderator are those who support the candidate who's getting trucked.

the moderator can mute at her will. The muting only happens at the 2 mins per candidate during the top line question of each segment. Then it's free for all and no muting.

2. Biden is substantive, has the right facts backing him up, calm and collected.

That's what a president should be. Not the whine-baby-in-chief. And it's making all of the comparison that the US needs to see.

He is rocking it now!

TBH I thought the first chunk of the debate wasn’t a blowout. Trump got his lies out, and generally they just sat there. But now, starting from healthcare onwards, Joe is ROCKING it.

12. Biden's on top of it. His demeanor is calm, his words hit the mark and he's educating people.

tRump's face looks very read, he is rarely still. He moves around kind of twitchy, he makes weird faces and of course he can't stop lying.
He just now said no one's done more for the Black community that Trump.

His eyes are looking bulge-y.

Truly stellar performance by Joe. Closing it out tonight like I hoped. No need to complain about mods on a night like this plus Welker is just fine anyways.
