Analysis by Aaron Blake | President Joe Biden stumbled repeatedly, and former president Donald Trump made false claims repeatedly.
Here are five takeaways from the first presidential debate:
He is someone with a stutter, who sometimes needs time to get his words out or stumbles getting them out.
He also has an administration full of competent people he actually trusts and who trust him.
He isn't a convicted felon, a rapist, or a racist, narcissistic conman.
So yeah, Biden did fine.
“President Joe Biden stumbled repeatedly, and former President Trump tried to stage a coup against the government 3 years ago and is now trying to tell you he may do it again. So who was the loser of the first debate?”
It's pretty damn clear to me. An 🔵 old man with actual plans and achievements with an entire system to back him up v. 🔴💀🔴 a manic, vicious, vindictive sociopathic felon completely divorced from reality who will make sure he has no brakes this time around. I'll take the old man ANY day.
whoever wrote the part of your style guide about avoiding using every circumlocution you can muster to avoid saying "so and so lied", i'd be curious as to why
you know, credit where it's due, the headline is accurate and i think the "lying everywhere" thing is obviously worse, but it'd just be nice to know why the editorial decision was made
First of all,
you #media types need to stop repeating each other.
Secondly, the humans take stumbling way way way better than let's say women who die bleeding out.
On BOTH sides of the ocean.
Now do your headlines better.

Since I was in high school, is it no longer true that the person with the best, most cogent arguments wins a debate?
(And the loud, flamboyant one wins a reality TV show.)
Most pathetic headline. What did the press do when democracy was at stake? Both-sides bs! lamo news media lamo journalists journalism

And Biden did as well. No contrivance please. Demons must Admit before help will be available. Off in the distance a solitary rider approaches. She appears to be alone.
Watched very reluctantly...
Neither a Gop nor a Dem...but Biden still seems alot stronger on the basics than Trump ever did when flying by the seat of his pants.
The list of incredibly sh*tty things Trumps presidency brought into being is long.
Not happy with Biden/Dems, but... they're not crazy.
I know it's going to make a lot of folks mad that the WP states PB stumbled repeatedly. President Trump is a liar, no surprises there. But ... President Biden did stumble and trailed off a few times. Cold or no cold, this is going to hurt PB ... even though some won't want to believe it.
