I wish Biden’s presentation was a whole lot better but I think this is going better for him than maybe CW is saying. Trump’s answers are insane. completely cuckoo

Not watching, but I'm betting/hoping that the Biden campaign can use clips of Trump effectively in ads - and they've got a ton of money for that

What goes viral on social media will be more important than ads and certainly more important than the number of people who watched live.

From what I gather Trump is providing some viral moments right now

I liked one of the early shots of his face when Mr T told a bold faced lie... :O

But the problem is we have a media that prefers vibes over facts.

I don’t think the Trump vibes are good either

A "two old men arguing" is a draw, even if they argue in different ways. Also Trump is getting steadily less coherent

I think the media prefers Trump over Biden rather than vibes over facts.

Remembering the 2012 debates where Obama was a bit stiff and people acted like Romney had drank his soul like Shang Tsung

Would kill for a stiff Obama right now. Which is what I call the mixed drink I make which I wish I was drunk on right now.

I absolutely wish I had your optimism

The problem is that the media is awful.

Biden looks horrible and sounds like he’s dying. Trump’s answers are insane. Do the voters care more about the aesthetics or the answers 🤷

Ooof the aesthetics always. Unfortunately

My discord of a bunch of (mostly) 40 yr old white dudes is saying “Biden is painful to watch, but Trump is insane.”

That has never really hurt Trump before though?

It would be cool if CNN would tell Trump to answer the questions they are asking.

I don’t think there is any amount of spin that will ever make this into a win for Biden. Not even close. It is an unmitigated disaster.

Trump keeps trying to change the subject and its really, really obvious

Biden got a good answer to the “is a vote for Trump a vote against democracy” question

I fear the people who might be swayed by a debate are more likely to be the type who pay attention to style over substance.

Sound good in the moment, tho

This is the thing. Trump is an expert bullshit artist so he can spew this stuff confidently and convincingly. Will be interesting to see reaction from folks who watch debate clips vs. read quotes after.

“Retribution will be a success” is gonna end up on someone’s subhead.

Biden got him angry and Trump hung himself during that last exchange. More of that!

That only energizes his base Fortunately Biden's base is energized by calling the police on teenagers walking near their yard so his performance tonight will not be a problem for them

Trump needs more than the base

He's got the Electoral College on his side.

probably not as much as in 2020

How do you figure? Just the incumbency advantage or something else? Didn't the numbers shift with the census?

CA and NY both look to be smaller blowouts and that’s pretty much all it takes

No matter. People tuned in for vibes, caught early indicators that Biden looks/sounds frail and Trump sounds confident, and either flipped the channel or tuned out. The media narrative will be Trump one despite spewing insane horseshit and completely dodging multiple questions. That will stick.
