What is disgusting to me is the failure among some to rally behind a very successful President because of one bad night

42. I agree. But, I'll admit I turned away from it that night in discouragement and with anxiety.

I did, however, see a clip that calmed me down significantly yesterday from the debate late into the 90 minutes. It was around the 1 hour.58 minute mark on the CNN YouTube clip. Tapper's question to TSF was about the rising costs of child care. Instead of answering the question TSF rambled on about himself and unnamed *historians* that named him as among "the best" US presidents (said no one ever), and he rambled on for the next two minutes allotted about what a great guy he is and how smart, etc. He never even touched the question. During that two minute period I watched Biden's reaction during his diatribe, and it was priceless: a mixture of appalled disbelief and bemusement. He was shaking his head and looking at the so-called *moderators* as if to ask "can you believe this guy?, and why in the hell aren't you shutting this jerk down for failing to address the posed question?"

Anyway, during his next question, Biden responded to them then rounded back to the question TSF refused to address about child care costs and proceeded to give examples of what the administration and the Democratic congress had enacted during the Covid crisis to address the cost of child care with the child tax credit enacted, etc.

It also has helped to see polling that indicates that the viewing audience was paying more attention to what was actually being said both candidates, and they indicated they were leading more to Biden than to TSF than before the debate. They media is responsible for stirring the pot and whipping people into a bed-wetting tizzy. It's as if every so-called journalist with any kind of forum is in a race with every other of their ilk to see who can win the race for most relevance and ratings.
