If the debate were scored at 1 point per "truth told"

biden would have pitched a shut out.

trump was a stupid lying ass and "prominent democrats" or "the liberal media" don't bury him in fact checks because biden is old?

what is wrong with these people?

1. Debate basics

The ancient Greeks (namely Aristotle) laid out 3 elements of persuasion: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.

Ethos is the emotional appeal of a speaker. This is the main thing people have been persuaded by for thousands of years. This is what matters the most to most voters. Trump destroyed his own ethos long before the debate and during it as well. Since then public opinion has shifted significantly due to Biden's bad performance. Is Biden a rapist pedophile grifter? No! Still he is under the microscope and is suffering from it in spite of the fact that his opponent is a monster.The voters are as fickle now as they were in ancient Greece. Go figure!

Pathos is the emotional appeal of a speaker. Trump can't touch Biden here. Just look at their lives

Logos is the logical appeal of an argument. Let's see: Nothing but obvious lies vs stumbling but mostly accurate facts. Biden wins hands down

Unfortunately most people have looked at logos the least and ethos the most for thousands of years
