I'm so glad it's over! We got through it -- and Biden did stunningly well slaying this idiot. Trump has given Biden a forum to show he’s sane, stable, knowledgable and a leader. Because Trump couldn’t completely shut him down this time, Biden was able to speak and explain his ideas. Meanwhile Trump threw out lies, insults, crazy stuff. Unhinged.

Trump has given Biden another platform to appear stable, sane and knowledgeable. And Biden's shown he can deal with a blowhard.

I feel like Trump tried his best to get the crazy Hunter Biden/China/emails etc., out there and it just didn't work. He's heartless on immigration, had nothing to say about the kids separated at the border. He is completely unraveled and showing America who he is. Biden is doing great, hitting back, and using facts. And showing empathy. Let's just get through this debate and kick his ass out of the White House.

Trump comes out, looks angry -- first question about covid surge, and he is already spinning, and lying.

Biden should and will just keep with his message and ignore any of Trump's bullshit! He will not take the bait. Unless he tells Trump to just shut up again, that I am ok with.

Now they media -- always looking for a horse race -- is running with something fed to them from GOP strategists, that Biden saying we'll move away from oil -- fossil fuels -- over time gave Trump an opening. They are so easily played. u don’t see how Biden saying last night we will transition from fossil fuels — oil — over time is anything different than what he said throughout the campaign.

And few could realistically disagree.

Bottom line: Biden has lots of specific plans. Trump has NO PLANS. On anything

Sorry to go off-subject but I completely agreed with your caller Julio from San Antonio at the end of your show today. The same goes here in CT, too - EVERY republican lawn sign is boldly blue! No red to be found! I find that very interesting. And the word ‘republican’ is nowhere to be found on any of them! I’ve also noticed the republican lawns have one absent sign: trump!

Biden needs to answer the question “why didn’t you” because of McConnell and Republican obstruction.

There were so many memorable lines from Biden. Here's one: ""Abraham Lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents we've had in modern history.He pours fuel on every single racist fire. Every single one.”

There were so many more, name some you remember.

Trump's only memorable lines were lies. The rest of what he said was code language of conspiracy theories no one understood.

There's still time for Trump not to show up. Something tells me he might try to pull some sort of stunt.

Michelangelo, spot on summary and strategy that Biden needs to implement .Biden should dismiss any attack on Hunter with a short sentence dismissal, and yes,avoid the “bait“ of a long to & fro.. I also suggest he continual direct his statements to the people via the camera, ignoring tRump’s presence on the stage. Allow tRump to do his raves & interruptions. .tRump will spend his allotted 2 minutes on his phony foreign policy & “achievements”, Biden/Obama “corruption” and his version of law & order. Biden should repeatedly remind us of tRump’s COVID-19 response and subsequent massive deaths, including tRump’s outrageous attacks on Fauci and other respected scientists, and he should detail vision for the healing of this country after this failed president removal.

Wow. I actually watched this debate and if we weren’t all living in a nightmare I would think it was one of the funniest comedy sketches I’ve seen.

Biden did a great job bringing back the focus on the critical state of our country and the climate crisis. Trump was the pathetic hot mess I expected. Prepaid taxes? Coyotes carrying children? I don’t think he was referring to the Mexican word for smugglers; I think he was referring to the animal. And he managed to insult India, China and his beloved’s country as filthy, dirty places. Of course he went through his list of his usual targets: Pelosi, Bernie, AOC, Obama. Obama. Oh, and Obama.

He has been repeating the same show with the same dialogue for the past 4 years. And it seems like he still doesn’t realize he has been and is the President. The man is seriously mentally incapacitated.
