The second and final presidential debate took place on Thursday night, and it was obvious to anyone who watched which candidate presented a better plan for putting America first.
The debate was supposed to be the third contest between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. However, the second planned event was cancelled after the Trump team refused the debate commission’s proposed digital format. A Zoom call debate was proposed in response to President Trump’s positive coronavirus diagnosis, but the president was cleared by his medical staff for in-person events before the second event was scheduled to take place.
Unfortunately, the final debate did not touch on any foreign policy topics — which would have benefitted President Trump — but we did get to see the stark differences between what each of these men have in store for domestic policy.
When it comes to a federal response to the global pandemic — brought to the U.S. by China — Biden made a series of promises including investing in PPE production, ventilators, rapid testing, and mask mandates. Here’s the problem: this is already Trump Administration policy. The president keenly pointed that out right before the moderator switched topics.
As always, race in America became a focal point, with Biden trying desperately to channel his former boss’ “bring everyone together” rhetoric. The former VP promised black Americans criminal justice reform and better economic opportunities. But once again, the Trump administration didn’t have to promise anything — because it is existing policy. Under the Trump Administration, black and brown communities are seeing historically low unemployment and increasing wages. It’s getting a lot harder for Democrats to make everyone feel like a victim.
The debate clocked in at about an hour and a half. We don’t have too much to complain about the moderator this time around, although she did seem to give Biden the last word on nearly every question. Of course, we already assumed that was going to happen, so the bar was admittedly very low.
For his part, Trump was wise to allow his opponent more speaking time. As we’ve always said, the best way to debate a Democrat is to simply allow them to speak.
Here’s Mark Dice with more debate analysis.
“Biden held his own” ??? Really?? The only thing he was holding onto was the podium so he wouldn’t fall down!! Biden has always been handled with kid gloves by the questions they ask him and treat him, and this is the kind of leader you want as our next president??? I think not!! Especially if (heaven forbid) he does become our next sitting president, we all know he won’t hold that position for long! Harris will become our president and then watch all your freedoms disappear before your very eyes!!!
The one thing I noticed about this last debate is that Joe Biden lies as good as the best of them. He lied so much that he started lying about the lies he was lying to the American people. He lied about fracking. He lied about not raising taxes on the middle class. He lied about not knowing what his son was doing in the Ukraine and China. He lied about his involvement with his son with the Russians and the Chinese. Right, Big Guy? In the past he lied about his plagiarism. He lied about the sexual harassment allegations made by women against him. He lied about his schooling and his academic accomplishments. Shifty Adam Schiff and Crooked Hillary doesn’t hold a candle to Lying Biden. I suppose it is because he has 47 years of experience at doing it.
Don Juan just said everything I was thinking, except he also lied about no one losing their health care when he and Obama were in charge and Obamacare hit. But I understand how Don missed it, everything that Biden stated was a lie, and there were so many, it was hard to keep track of. But he has been a politician for almost 50 years, all they do it lie and line their pockets on the backs of the American people.
Was it my imagination or did mr Biden seem to give dramatic speech for 90% of the questions? This to me seems a rehearsed response to specific questions. Did he know what questions would be asked of him? The way he knew which camera to look in Just at the right time and body language On cue takes rehearsal. Most responses were speeches .that takes rehearsal. Or am I just imagining . It made president Trump look that much more unscripted and amateur. Which to Me he was genuine. A good thing. The point is they both had good response to each political agenda. But mr. Biden was given an edge just like always when media is involved. I believe giving the content of the question before debate is unethical but that has never stopped Politicians from doing just that, cheat, president Trump is refreshing for his genuine Public relations and transparency. He is definitely not a politician.
biden got that big smile that covers his lying, unscrupulous, face. I mean, c’mon man it’s just politics to him.
I watched the debate, and I thought the President did a great job, he really took it to Joe Biden. When one looks at how the coronavirus is being handled elsewhere in the world, I don’t think that anyone else could have provided a better outcome, than the President, certainly not the democrats, or anyone else for that matter. Some European countries took different approaches in the way they handled this Chinese pandemic, but it made no difference, they are all being hit with a second wave. I like the President’s pragmatic point of view when he talks about the Chinese plague. It is terrible that so many people have died in the US and the rest of the world, but I doubt very much that given how little anyone knew what they were dealing with, other than perhaps the Chinese dictator, the outcome was always going to be the same, no matter who made the decisions. Once the virus was in the country it was always going to run its own course, I think the American people, including the crooked lying democrats, should be thankful that the President made the decisions, that he did earlier on, because if he hadn’t the death toll could have been a lot higher than it is.
Here in Australia, we have the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, like news and media outlets in the US, it is supposed to provide unbiased reporting and commentary, also like what is happening in the US today, its reporting is so bias in favour of the democrat socialists, being almost to the point that one wonders if they are not on the bankroll as propagandists for Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and the Biden campaign. Here their reporting is so biased in favour of the labour party, which is Australias’, and Britains’ version of the democrats, as to be a joke among none socialists. I watched a panel of these sanctimonious hypocrites, give the Australian viewers the benefit of their wisdom and expertise, on who they thought won the debate. They start off by reminding the viewers that they are impartial and immediately started to twist what the President said, criticised and undermined the Presidents performance while doing the exact opposite when talking about Joe Bidens’. It was so bad, that I felt that I must have watched a totally different debate. I immediately wrote to the ABC, complaining about the fools who made up the panel, their total lack of professionalism, and their outright bias. Does this sound familiar to you? Do you think that this twisted and bias media, along with the socialist democrats, realize just how much real damage they are doing to the cause of real global democracy? As I often say about the labour party, and now obviously the democrats, show me anyone of their leaders, and I will show you a closet, want to be dictator. I have always thought that nothing could be dumber, corrupt and hypercritical as labour party politics, but the Democrats, and their supporters in the US, have set a whole new standard when it comes to hypocrisy, greed, lies, double standards, and denial. I am almost seventy years of age and have always been a friend and supporter of your great country. I have always taken a great interest in what is going on there, especially in a Presidential election year, but without any exaggeration, I have never witnessed anything as low, reprehensible and outright disgusting, as the behaviour of Hilary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi. In fact, I don’t know how Pelosi has managed to survive politically. It would seem to me that she has abused her position, to the detriment of the American people, just to push her own twisted personal vendetta against the President. Free and honest democracy in the US, would be a lot better off without her being a part of it. I am seriously beginning to think that the socialist parties in Europe, Britain, and Australia, are colluding with the US Democrats, and certain sectors of the politically correct corporate world, especially the media to bring about a socialist revolution. I have often wondered just why your great Presidents victory, back in twenty-sixteen, so outraged the Democrats. I mean really, they have not let up their attacks on him from the moment he put his name forward as a candidate, their attacks have been unrelenting, and remorseless. I really do believe that it goes way past sour grapes, and being a sore loser, there is something else going on here. And I am fully aware that whatever threatens the true democracy and freedom of your great country, is also a real threat to the rest of the free countries of the world. I wish your President all the very best, it is not just the US who needs him, the free world needs him!
Well said, Tom Caine!
The Joe Biden campaign and fake news are very wrong about saying that the American people are not interested in the news about the Biden scandal. Joe is running for our president. Yes it is true that his son, and his crony partners, media bad news,and his cracked head Hunter did try to sell us to China. If Trump say doesn’t get elected he want go away there will be more great news to come but that will be to late. Go Trump and fight for America. God bless us all.
President Trump is NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT MUST FIGHT FOR THE USA. WE THE PEOPLE, MUST FIGHT AS MUCH, OR MORE THAN HE DOES, IT IS OUR NATION ALSO.
After the biggest October surprise that has ever happened in the history of the USA, with the BIDEN real life story with China, whoever votes for the new American Communist/Socialist party, aka Democrat party, has no love for the most wonderful nation in the world and her people! I pray that those who have not voted yet, to go vote for our GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP. He has been chosen by Yahweh our God, to be in that high position of authority in this world, because HE knows that President Trump is the only person in this great nation that can and is able to do his job according to Yahweh God’s will.
PLEASE GO VOTE RED!
In total agreement!! God bless our President and our great country!
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE FINAL COMMENTS MADE, PRESEDENT TRUMP IS THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST. KEEP HIM IN, KEEP HIM IN KEEP HIM IN. KEEP HIM IN, KEEP HIM IN, THANK YOU,,,,,, JUDITH SHROCK, MERRILL, WISCONSIN
