    Very different start to Debate #3 (or is it #2?)
    but I already hate the moderator
    Why do we have this rule that the mod MUST come from the media?

    Biden said that 50 ex-intel officers mentioned that the Biden corruption story is Russian disinformation. The DNI, DOJ, and the FBI say that's bogus.

    Much better debate but how the hell did Trump let Biden's Proud Boys lie go without correction. He could have handled the lost children issue better and he didn't call all Mexicans rapists.

    Better job by Trump but he's no Pence.

    Mexico is not a race. Visitors from war torn Muslim and non-Muslim countries is a security issue, and so on. How is protecting Americans racist? Illegal from Central America with a criminal history killed a Houston cop 2 days ago.

    Trump got Biden to admit at the very end that Joe wants to end all energy production in the US. Any Texan voting for this guy should leave the state.

    I think his biggest miss was on immigration. Biden wants open borders, would tear down the wall, would let anyone in the country in who wants in. Including through the covid crisis. And that means YOU will be paying for all that social welfare out of your pocket. But instead, he let the mod trap him into a narrowed focus.

    It seems to me that Biden got the last word most of the debate.
    Am I crazy?

    I think because Trump did most of the challenging but without interrupting

    Apparently the mod was instructed not to let Trump have the last word
    She interrupted him alot more.

    Moderator was only ready to move to the next question when Trump was speaking. Let Biden ramble unfettered.

    I can't believe that Biden said windmills were the fastest growing jobs. :lol:

    So Biden couldnt free the blacks because of the Republican Congress? What about from 2008-2010, Joe?

    He should have showed a little compassion for the children without parents. To me that was his weakest point. The whole reason for cages is 100,000 people coming over at once. Theres no room to hold everyone. Literally. Also coyotes use children to get adults in.

    I agree. Biden painted with a broad brush and Trump should have been more pin point in his response.

    I thought he did, even spent too much time doing that. Obama invited them to come without their parents and they did, which is primary reason anyone has not been reunited yet - they came here either alone or with fake "parents" while their real parents live in another country.

    Biden checking his watch was a sure sign he wanted out -- now. Bill Clinton said he knew he had G.H.W. Bush when Bush kept checking his watch.

    I thought Trump was much better tonight. He did act Presidential. And Biden did look like an idiot when he said he wanted to end the oil industry, which has to play well for Trump in Texas, Pennsylvania, and other oil producing states. Can you imagine the damage to economy if those policies were implemented in the next four years? It would make the Covid effect look like a Wall Street Bull Market. Also, Biden threw in Hitler. What a maroon!

    I'm biased, but I think Trump won big.

    He ran out of gas. He might have buckled at the knees if it went on 15 more minutes

    The school opening question presented a pretty clear delineation for the much coveted suburban female demographic

    Have any of the pundits been critical of Biden for getting angry during many of his responses?

    I'll wait....

    Biden referenced a discredited prediction from the UW fear porn department (200k more deaths by end of year). This is the one that said daily deaths would be 2000 by Election Day and 3000 by end of year. Currently at 800 daily deaths.

    Windmills don't spin much of the time, they kill tons of birds, and technicians fall off them to their deaths commonly. It is one of the most dangerous jobs in America, even more dangerous than being black.

    I think the propellers are made of some type of plastic, get worn out and have to be replaced. Plus the old batteries must be deposed of (somewhere in Asia I guess?)

    Is this a surrender flag or is she trolling for a new job?

    Epoxy. My company sells the curing agent. The blades are cured in a molded frame. It’s a thermoset plastic, meaning you can’t melt it back into its original form for re-use like plastic bottles and wraps (PE, PP, PET, etc).
