Thirty minutes into the presidential debate, I’ve heard from three veteran Democratic presidential campaign officials, and all of them had the same reaction to President Biden’s performance: This is a disaster. It wasn’t just that Biden wasn’t landing a glove on Donald Trump on the economy, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Covid, taxes, temperament or anything else that was coming up in the questioning. It was Biden’s voice (low and weak) and facial expression (frozen, mouth open, few smirks) with answers that were rambling or vague or ended in confusion. He gave remarks about health care and abortion that didn’t make a strong point, giving Trump a chance to say lines like, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.” One of the Democrats said Biden looked scared. Another said it was an “emperor has no clothes” performance so far. The third said of the performance overall, “Don’t ask.” Trump lied repeatedly during the debate about the pandemic, immigration and Roe v. Wade, but Biden didn’t hold him accountable for those lies in a memorable way. At times, Trump attacked Biden, but the president didn’t fight back. Frank Luntz, a veteran focus group moderator who was holding a live focus group during the debate, wrote of their reactions so far: “The group is so bothered by Biden’s voice and appearance. But they’re getting madder and madder with Trump’s personal attacks.” “If Trump talks less,” Luntz said, “he wins. If Biden doesn’t stop talking, he loses.”
It’s incredibly funny to watch you guys and your politics. Not only do you have two clowns battling to become president, but now its a competition amongst you to be even more of a clown arguing about the debate.
Who are you taking about? Americans in general or the people on hexbear talking about it? If it’s the latter, you have wildly misinterpreted our intentions lol
Its very in general - its like watching comentary after a sprts match, discussing the players but not the rules of the game
Ok yeah just a total incapability to understand the position we have relative to this considering where you placed this comment. Maybe you’re one of those “the debate is a sham and there’s a deep state” kinda people, idk. Or maybe you’re a lib thinking that Bidens performance doesn’t matter because he’s still effective regardless? Those are all just muddled ideologies. Join us, learn to have a concrete analysis
