I have never been so outraged and pissed at the Democratic Party than I am today.

[Tweedy]

33. I watched the debate

Mr. Trump disqualified himself right away.
You cannot lie and win in a moot court contest, or a debate in high school or college. Lying is disqualifying. Lying is flunking. Lying is losing.

If you watched, no doubt you noticed all of Mr. Trump’s lies too.

I also watched President Reagan absolutely bomb his first debate against Walter Mondale. Following the debate, Senator Mondale was winning in the polls. You remember President Mondale right?

My eyes beheld President Obama lose his first debate to Senator (then former MA Governor) Romney too. He lost badly. Some democrats seemed to lose their minds. You remember President Romney? President Obama reminded you after this debate of that debate in 2012.

There are more. Presidents seem to struggle with their first debate even when they haven’t crossed nine time zones in a few days like President Biden had.

While I listened to that beauty contest debate, I did not freak out that Joe Biden’s voice was soft and he looked as pale as I do every single day. I could go for the orange clown look but I find it absurd. Being pale is neither illness nor a sign of mental decline. It just is a function of the cloudy likely northern place my ancestors once lived.

President Biden answered every question. Mr Trump answered none. It was obvious Mr Trump had no grasp of any of the issues raised; although he did have a clear grasp of his personal grievances. Mr Trump was still obsessed with his « numbers » during Covid which was, and still is, quite sick and twisted.

President Biden did not perform well at the debate. Nevertheless, he still managed to convey his comprehensive grasp of the issues facing the president and his basic decency.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump revealed yet again that he is unqualified to hold any elected office anywhere.

Watch it again to the end and see if you do not see my point.

During that debate, neither candidate covered themselves in glory. Only one man’s performance was disqualifying and his name is Trump.
