George Rebane
President Trump did not pull off a good debate last night. His biggest mistake was again his motor mouth – he kept interrupting Biden’s long answers in which the man had the best chance to display his faltering mental faculties. To such welcome interruptions Biden’s response was always a cherubic smile as he sent another ‘Saved again, thank you God’ heavenward. Hopefully, Trump’s debate coaches Giuliani and Christie will tell him to STFU next time when Bumblebrain is required to give a long answer.
The former VP spent most of his mic time just repeating unsubstantiated lies, the main one being that the president has totally mismanaged the country’s C19 response, and has no plan for it going forward. No one in the country has had the brains to make him answer as to what he would have done that would have produced markedly different results with his declared penchant to keep the economy locked down. The second biggest lie was that Obama put him in charge of the country’s economic recovery in 2009, and that singlehandedly he did an outstanding job – talk about the invisible man during those years. And perhaps the biggest obvious whopper was that the Democrats’ published platform does not back implementing the Green New Deal. The only benefit that Trump got was Biden being the first to launch ad hominem attacks – “clown”, “racist”, … - against the president.
Then it was Trump who left a lot of strong points and rebuttals on the table – was it poor prep or just his motor mouth getting in the way of considered thought? He didn’t say anything about creating an economy that delivered the lowest minority (especially black) unemployment rates in living memory. He didn’t say anything about being the most effective Mideast peacemaker in the last 50 years, and now being internationally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. He didn’t effectively rebut the ‘climate change causes wildfires and hurricanes, and the US going green will stop them’. His proper response would have cited the recent reports by NOAA and the IPCC (also in these pages) stating that neither agency could conclude that climate change has had any effect on the frequency and intensity of both kinds of disasters; that constant repetition of preventable manmade global warming nostrums continue as just politically motivated hysterical hype.
Finally, the president got a fantastic opening from Biden on the latter’s claim that his economic plan, based on green energy, would create 4M new jobs and result in a $1T marginal contribution to GDP. Since none of these new jobs would provide any benefits that current market-driven technologies already provide, their being mandated through more stifling government regulations and subsidies would actually inhibit economic growth – in short, they would have the same in/effect as did FDR’s depression era alphabet soup agencies. Frederic Bastiat explained the whole thing in his easy to understand ‘Broken Window Fallacy’. This would have been a major rebuttal to the socialists’ perennial approach to building economies, an approach that has failed every time it has been tried – you can’t build an economy with gratuitously created jobs and unnecessary spending.
Hopefully President Trump will do a much better job in Debate2 by letting Bumblebrain bumble, and remembering his list of strong responses.
[Addendum] At first I decided to leave out evaluation of Chris Wallace’s strictly one-sided performance as the debate’s moderator. At home we were aghast at how blatantly and asymmetrically Wallace conducted the session, lobbing softballs at Biden and Democratic talking-point gotchas at President Trump. (more here) Among his many egregious tactics was Wallace preventing Trump from correcting Biden’s continuous stream of obvious lies and indicting innuendos. This made it clear that the president was debating both Biden and Wallace. Overall, it was a very unprofessional and somewhat incompetent performance by Fox News’ star leftwing correspondent and host of its Sunday commentary program.
With regard to a better control of debaters talking out of turn and over each other so that no one can understand what either is saying, I am in favor of the moderator having control the debaters’ microphones. When it’s time for one participant to stop their diatribe and let the other one respond, then just turn on-and-off the appropriate mics. The mics can also be of the kind, or even baffled, to make them very directional – i.e. they will greatly attenuate sounds that arrive off-axis of their receiving beams. In Debate1 this would have allowed Wallace to effectively silence Trump, and permit Biden to deliver much longer and more revelatory responses with his usual acumen for extemporaneous public speech.
Just another false statement from our Liar in Chief
“In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the ‘Portland Sheriff’ supports him,” Reese tweeted on Tuesday night, adding, “As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.”

PaulE 943am - Paul, this is a great opportunity for you to explain your understanding of ‘lies’ you selectively attribute to politicians. For example, how do you compare the impact of the Trump lie you cite to that of Biden’s claim last night that he was the architect and implementor of the nation’s economic recovery during the Obama administration?

Re my 1009am - OK Paul, in light of Walt's 1017am, I'll add another Biden lie that his plan won't raise middle-class taxes. How does something fundamentally material like that compare with Trump's lies?
PaulE 1022am - You can see his exact words on Youtube. But he specifically and repeatedly used the word 'I' and gave no hint that he accomplishment was a part of the Obama team that supposedly pulled off the recovery. And to put a point on it, even if he claimed that he was part of that Obama team, he would be telling a lie since there is no record of his participation or even a contribution to anything the administration did for the recovery. (Obama's actual recovery 'contribution' has been exposed and debated for years in these pages.)

Glad you enjoyed the debate Todd. Trump needs all the support he can get which is not much at this point.
So Todd if Trumps alleged tax pmt of $750 was a filing fee then it means he paid $0 in taxes that year. Thanks for clarifying that.

More lies from Trump. He just claimed that all polls show that he won the debate. The reality is that no polls so far reflect that. this man is mentally ill and totally delusional.
Today’s 2020 Election Polls: Biden Won The Debate, Surveys Show:
Six in ten voters said Biden won the debate Tuesday, while just 28% said Trump did, a CNN poll of debate watchers conducted by SSRS found.
An even larger majority (65%) said Biden was “more truthful” in his answers than Trump was (29%), according to the CNN survey.
63% of voters said Biden had a better plan for solving the country’s problems than Trump (30%).
Biden was also victorious in a CBS News/YouGov poll taken after the debate, with 48% of voters saying that Biden won, while 41% said the same about Trump (10% said the debate was a tie).
Voters in the CBS News/YouGov survey, however, were down about the tone of the debate, with 83% of viewers saying it was “negative,” while just 17% said it was positive.
69% of voters said the debate made them feel “annoyed,” a possible indication that the chaotic nature of the debate was not well received by Americans.
51% of debate watchers in a poll from Data Progress said Biden won, while 39% said the same about Trump.
Key Background
CNN said its post-debate survey result is “about the same” as the breakdown in 2016, when 62% of voters said Hillary Clinton won the debate, while 27% said Trump did.
Big Number
57%. That’s the percentage of respondents in the CNN survey who said the debate “did not affect their choice for president.” Of the people who said the debate did affect their pick, 32% said they became more likely to cast their ballot for Biden, while 11% said the same about Trump.

Where do you get your information Walt?
Posted by: paul emery | 30 September 2020 at 12:37 PM
Trump slumps to -7 against Biden according to RR's favorite pollsters, Rasmussen. From their webpage:
"Following President Trump’s announcement of a U.S. Supreme Court nominee just weeks before Election Day, Democrat Joe Biden has jumped out to an eight-point lead in Rasmussen Reports’ weekly White House Watch survey. The survey does not include reaction to last night’s first Trump-Biden debate.
The latest national telephone and online survey finds Biden leading President Trump 51% to 43% among Likely U.S. Voters. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate. Another three percent (3%) are undecided.
The race had narrowed over the previous three weeks, but Biden has now cleared the 50% mark for the first time. Trump’s latest showing is his lowest since early August.
The president took his first lead two weeks ago, 47% to 46%, but Biden inched back ahead 48% to 47% last week.
The new survey finds Trump with 79% support among Republicans. Biden has 84% of the Democrat vote and has reclaimed the lead among voters not affiliated with either major party.
Trump's daily job approval also has fallen since his nomination Saturday of federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who died September 18.

Levin on the debate -
The Democratic presidential nominee did not make “a positive case” for a Joe Biden presidency during the first presidential debate, Mark Levin, host of “Life, Liberty & Levin,” said Wednesday.
The former vice president “lies incessantly about his past and his future plans should he become president,” Levin added in a series of tweets where he outlined his thoughts on the first presidential debate between President Trump and Biden.
The first debate of the 2020 presidential election on Tuesday night was fiery throughout, with Trump and Biden attacking each other in starkly personal terms for more than 90 minutes as moderator Chris Wallace worked to get both candidates, but especially Trump, to follow the debate rules the candidates had agreed to.
“Here's the bottom line: Joe Biden is a hustler,” Levin tweeted. “He's been hanging around politics for half a century. He has accomplished nothing significant.”

Gregory, groups, ok, it was a gotcha question by Trump.
As if it is a big deal,
"The Fraternal Order of Police, which boasts 355,000 members nationwide, announced it voted unanimously to endorse Trump’s reelection because he “supports our law enforcement officers” and “understands the issues our members face every day.”
That endorsement is not groundbreaking; the FOP has endorsed Republicans in all but the 2 of the last 7 presidential elections – including Trump in 2016 – throwing their weight behind Bill Clinton in 1996 and not endorsing any candidate in 2012."

Meanwhile Biden claims what he said he was for he's now against but it's been a few days that have gone by so maybe he really can't remember. Green Deal? Wassat? Antifa is just an idea - a concept! Oh my. Wallace just smiles.

Posted by: Scott O | 30 September 2020 at 06:01 PM
A different take. My 2.5 cents worth.
The Commentator Class and many R’s missed the forest from the trees last night at the Messy Food Fight. Trump is Trump and no advisors can ever control him. Nobody can, D or R, rich or poor. That’s why the people of the United States elected him. The Alpha Male atop the food chain totem pole. The Grizzly Bear, the lone wolf, the untamed. El Toro in the China Shop.
So, Trump walks in in full campaign mode (which we haven’t seen in awhile and went after Lying Biden in World Wrestling Cage Match style from the opening bell. Yes,Trump could of left some things out, he drove me nuts when he did not follow up on questions of the economy, helping black families (racism) or law and order and didn’t get Biden to commit to answering Chris Wallalenin’s direct question about supporting stacking the court and ending the Senate filibuster. Opportunities lost.
With all that context out of the way, Trump had a strategy and pulled if off, if not somewhat imperfectly:
This is NOT a base election in 2020. A base election generally has been decades 40% Dems, 40% Rs, and 20% undecided/independents. To win, you got to pull away undecideds and draw more to your camp than the other guy/gal,
This year there are no undecideds. If someone has yet to make up their minds after 47 months of straight Trump bashing and scandalous innuendo and all that song and dance as well as looking at Trump’s accomplishments (when/if available on Resistance News), policies, and, yes, personality, then that person must have a walnut sized brain. The undecideds in 2020 are so small if ain’t worth going after them. Still, they are always welcomed into the fold. This year is not a base election. Everybody has made up their minds.
Trump was not trying to win people over last night. He was talking to his base and giving them Trump Unchained. Even R’s and folks like me who were uncomfortable with President Trump’s style, we all liked what he said, generally. So, no problem here. Are ain’t moving an inch.
Trump also turned to Biden’s base and got Biden to separate himself from the far left of his base, which is the only place you find energy and enthusiasm. Not for Biden, but enthusiasm none the less. Let them know that Biden is not your Bernie guy. Conversely and simultaneously, Trump let the lefties toward the middle who are already nervous about socialism and riots and such know that Biden is in bed with Bernie and he has been lying to you as well. He ain’t the guy you think he is, those in both camps of the Democrat Party.
Trump did not change anyone’s minds last night and may have even lost a few days ground. But he quasi-accomplished his mission: to discourage Biden’s base on the far left as well as lefties who are less insane. That is where most of the commentator class missed the forest. Dems, your guy ain’t being straight with you. As AOC famously tweeted back to Joe Lieberman when Joe said he hopes AOC is not the future of the Democrat Party, AOC let him know who is boss, “New party, who dis?”
Biden says he is not going full blown socialistic to his base. Like Nancy, have one foot in the Party Power structure and one foot in the new party of Year Zero Jacobins and you end up pissing all over yourself. Looks like Nancy lost control and doesn’t call the shots no more. Same with Biden, the face of the Democrat Party
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 30 September 2020 at 08:25 PM
Another sign Trump won the debate. The Proggy Press doesn't want anymore debates. They want ways to control it. Like cutting off Trump's mic... Just Trumps? Yup that's a LIB thumb on the scale.
It was easy to tell when Trump had "glass jaw" cornered. Biden had that "I'm screwed" laugh. A tell tale sign he had nothing.
Haven't seen actions in a debate from the likes of Biden since high school. "C'ome on man!, Your stupid, your a clown.(a clown that just kicked your ass)
Yes it's easy to see why Proggys want to keep Biden away from trying to debate Trump.
Posted by: Walt | 30 September 2020 at 08:33 PM
So Trump lied today when he said "“I don’t know who the Proud Boys are."
Last night Chris Wallace asked the president, "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down?"
A back-and-forth then ensued among Trump, Wallace, and Biden, who also pushed the president on the issue.
"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by,"
Last night he himself brought up their name
Nobody mentioned their name before Trump. So how can say today “I don’t know who the Proud Boys are."?
Posted by: paul emery | 30 September 2020 at 08:39 PM
Paul - "Nobody mentioned their name before Trump. So how can say today “I don’t know who the Proud Boys are."?
Easy.
He may may have heard the name but doesn't know any details about them or exactly what they stand for.
Now Paul - what about Biden and his denial of the 'Green New Deal'?

Daily Quotes go here tonight.
Insight: “Angry answers stir up men’s passions, but never convince their judgments, nor set truth in a clear light.” —Matthew Henry (1662-1714)
For the record…
“That was a hot mess, inside a dumpster fire, inside a train wreck. That was the worst debate I have ever seen. It wasn’t even a debate. It was a disgrace.” —CNN’s Jake Tapper
“On the personal side, both men were nasty. Biden was probably the nastier of the two. He called Trump a liar, a racist, and a clown. But Trump may have seemed nastier because he interrupted Biden so frequently. Biden was nastier, but Trump was more obnoxious.” —Paul Mirengoff
“No one won this fiasco, but Mr. Biden did succeed in passing the test of appearing coherent for 90 minutes. Mr. Trump had done him the favor of calling his mental capacity into question for months, so expectations were low. Mr. Biden passed that bar, albeit in highly scripted fashion.” —Wall Street Journal editorial board
“Biden [might have been told to] keep things civil, given that, you know, Biden’s whole thing is ‘restoring the soul of America.’ Who knew that restoring the country’s soul worked hand in hand with calling the president a ‘clown’ and telling him to his face to ‘shut up’?” —Eddie Scarry
Non compos mentis: “Donald Trump is the worst president we’ve ever had.” —Joe Biden
And last… “I have a hard time believing that the man who donates his entire $400,000 salary every year is ‘stealing’ from the American taxpayer.” —Charlie Kirk

Bill - "Dems, your guy ain’t being straight with you."
Oh - like Obama telling the left he was against gay marriage?
And that he was 'pro-life'?
Even though he had the highest rating from the most militant pro-abortion group (NARAL). The 'real' message went out loud and clear.
"I'll have more flexibility after the election".
Only Paul Emery thought those were true statements.
That's why he voted for Obama the first time.
But you can mess with Paul's mind with any parlor trick a dog could see through.
The left knows damn well Biden is as compliant as a Slinky Toy.
It's really up to the Dems getting the Senate.
It won't matter doodily-squat what Biden has left in his cranium.
If it goes through a Dem House and Senate, Biden will stop sniffing an aide's hair for a minute or two while some one shoves a pen in his hand and he'll sign it.

Better yet Post AOC's VS Biden's.. Side by side.
Back up your BS with some proof for a change.

Thats some great research there oh great pony tail of ignorance -
Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden unveiled a $2 trillion energy plan Tuesday with a heavy focus on the Green New Deal agenda being pushed by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the far-left flank of his party.
“There is no more consequential challenge that we must meet in the next decade than the onrushing climate crisis. Left unchecked, it is literally an existential threat to the health of our planet and to our very survival,” said Biden, 77.
Biden’s announcement comes as the presidential wannabe courts idols on the left of his party including Bronx-Queens Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the hope that they will support him and steer young voters his way in November.
In May, AOC announced she had been selected to co-chair Biden’s climate change panel along with former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.

Oh - HIS 'green new deal'!
And what would that be?
Funny how it just appeared at the debate.

Sounds like the same old 'green new deal' to me.
And Paul complains about what was spent on the Iraq War.
Maybe Paul would like to discuss the details of our fed govt throwing trillions at a non-existent problem?
No - I didn't think so.

Here's Biden - “I see steel that will be needed for those windmill platforms, towers and ladders which could be made in small manufacturers,” he said. “I see the union-certified men and women who will manufacture and install.”
Notice that he just says the steel will be needed.
Things that 'can be made' in small manufacturers.
He didn't say they will be or what country all this happens in.
And he doesn't say what country will provide the 'union certified' workers.
Not union workers but certified.
Who pays for this?
Who cares?
We already know about the good paying jobs in this country that produce energy.
And Biden wants to get rid of them.
Nice.

A simple question.
“Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden once again avoided giving a straight answer on whether he would support packing the Supreme Court if elected, after making clear during Tuesday’s debate that he would not address the issue.
Biden was then asked how Republicans are violating the Constitution.
“The Constitution says that the American people – I taught constitutional law for over 20 years – says the American people get an opportunity to choose who they want on the Supreme Court by who they pick as their senator and their president," said Biden, who began teaching classes at Widener University Delaware Law School in 1991.
The Constitution, which discusses the Supreme Court in Article III, says nothing about the people getting to choose who sits on it. Originally, it did not even say that the public could choose their senators – state legislatures selected them until the 17th Amendment put that power in the hands of the people in 1913.
“I’m not going to answer the question because the question is, the question is, the question is,” Biden said, before telling the president to “shut up, man.”

The question is, the question is, the question is, wait a minute, it’s coming to me, oh shut up, man.

re: BillT@9:06AM October 1, 2020
"Is it a symptom of TDS?"
I was thinking about that.
My theory is that the Blue Mob, rather than being clever and/or accurate in a satirical sense, dislikes Trump, traditional America, the traditional West, and *you* so much that they simply flip to the most vulgar or mean thing to say.
It depends on the person, everyone has their own vocabulary when they smash a thumb with a hammer (assuming they know how to use a hammer). It's an automatic emotional response rather than actually descriptive. While everyone will overstate a case, it has become SOP to the US Left.
So...some subset of Leftish thought leaders specialize in coprologia. Their personal Tourette's doesn't allow anything else.

Posted by: Walt | 01 October 2020 at 10:29 AM
Re Trump to the Proud Boys, “Stand back and stand by.” He didn’t say ‘stand ready’. And the meaning of his admonition of the Proud Boys could range anywhere from ‘Don’t engage the leftwing rioters and just witness the chaos’ to the meaning of Paul Revere’s ‘The British are coming!’
What is more important to discuss is what the violence that groups like BLM and Antifa beget will draw in response as the cities burn, leftwing politicians tell police to stand down, and as leftwing academics, corporatists, and legislators solidify their characterization of America as a socially unjust, racist, and evil land. They all desire to transform the US into a socialist autocracy that divides its citizens into various aggrieved and aggrieving tribes of various assigned motivations, and then use the might of a very large and encompassing government to pick winners and losers among these identity groups.
The response by the remainder of Americans will not be a peaceful assenting march into such a dark new world. America is still constituted with a sufficient number of citizens who maintain ‘the spirit of 76’ and are willing to follow the footsteps of their forebears against tyranny. These Americans are spontaneously organizing themselves into various patriotic (in the classical sense) groups that unfortunately spread themselves over a large spectrum of ideologies - some radicalized. The Left recognizes this danger to its agenda and is busy libeling and characterizing some of the more prominent of these rightwing groups like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers as being white supremacists and racists. For example, read this torturous, albeit unsuccessful, attempt by the leftwing Atlantic to tar both these groups.

'I was truly embarrassed by the entire spectacle. My 11-year-old grandson came over to watch it with me and cheer on Trump.
It was painful to see the President of the United States act like a schoolyard bully. And not answer simple questions. And generally, show his ass. It will be hard to mark my ballot for Trump."

Chew on this crossed one -
Here is a little something to ruin his afternoon, can you say margin of error? -
A poll released on Friday shows that the presidential race has swung several points in President Donald Trump’s direction after the debate in Cleveland on Tuesday night.
The first significant national poll conducted post-debate, by Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP, shows the race has sharply tightened after the chaotic first debate earlier this week. Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democrat presidential nominee, has seen his lead cut down to just 2.6 percent in the wake of the debate.
Nationally, Biden only leads Trump by 2.6 percent—48.6 percent to 45.9 percent—in this survey, conducted entirely post-debate on Wednesday and Thursday, September 30 and October 1.
This post-debate poll represents a three-point swing Trump’s way after the debate—and an even more profound swing in the president’s direction since earlier in September.
While the poll showed Biden got better reviews from respondents for overall debate performance, more voters shifted to Trump after the debate than shifted to Biden.
The poll has a fairly large sample size, and a smaller margin of error—3.5 percent—meaning that Biden’s lead is inside that margin of error.

MSNBC's Joy Reid suggests Trump is faking COVID diagnosis to 'get out of the debates'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-joy-reid-trump-coronavirus-faking
——-
The Enemy of the People today was saying today that you cannot trust the White House concerning any reports of the President and Melania’s C-19 condition and, of course, Trump is faking it to take over the government. Then, in the next breath, they say Trump should step aside because of the condition of his health, citing the 25 Amendment.
I am confused. The Lamestream media says Trump is faking it to get out of the debates and also say Trump condition is soooo dire that the 25 Amendment is in order. He’s sick, he is not. Trump is faking, Trump’s health is in dire straights.
Hmmmm. Wasn’t it the same shit for brains Roberta Cross who said Trump was going to declare martial law on July 4th and surround the Capital with troops carry out his coup?
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 02 October 2020 at 07:53 PM
George 3:41 -- multiple legal scholars have expressed the opinion that Trump's tax issues and, especially, the consulting fees paid to Ivanka (the trump soho case) that were deducted despite the fact that she was already on the payroll, could result in tax fraud indictments for both of them. The New York case, where the Supreme Court has ruled that the prosecutors can access Trump's financial records, is another and portends the possibility of even more.
I am surprised you don't know of these developments.
Bill 7:53--"Wasn’t it the same shit for brains Roberta Cross who said Trump was going to declare martial law on July 4th and surround the Capital with troops carry out his coup?"

Man, whoever it was, a shit for brains like that should be on Lamestream media.

Looks like de ja vue all over again -
The poll’s margin of error is 3.2 percent, indicating the two candidates are statistically tied.
The same poll showed Biden leading Trump by six points on August 29, 48 to 42 percent, and seven points on July 8, 49 to 42 percent. Biden’s now two-point lead reveals a tightening race.
“Contrary to my own observations, it looks like the President has not been hurt by his debate performance nor his hospitalization,” pollster John Zogby observed, adding that Trump’s 47 percent support is one point higher than it was in 2016.

Then he claims there are some Trump haters that without the ability to actually study the entire issue have declared that some one else who hates Trump might indict him! And a ham sandwich, apparently.
Then in his 3:26 he admits he's just full of BS and he has nothing beyond a fevered imagination as evidence against Trump.
