I didn’t stay for the post analysis. Did they fact check him? Did they talk about him not answering the question?

pointing out Trump's nonstop blatant whoppers. They said that Biden has the substance of a president, but did not communicate that well, while Trump projected an image, but it was all lies.

14. Personally, I think "debate" formats are unrealistic.

The moderator asks a candidate a question relating to a complicated issue and the candidate has 2 minutes to answer. It's more like an oral test question. And when a guy like Trump answers with a known lie, they don't make him prove the lie.

Like Biden said to a Waffle House customer after the debate, "It's hard to debate a liar."
