It's a two sided coin. Some people will think Trump won the debate because he screamed, lied, and interrupted. Others will side with Biden because he made sense. He looked at the camera, he spoke to the people. That was effective.

Biden should cancel participation in remaining debates. This was a waste of time.

I don't think he should. IMO that would infer weakness. You have to stand up to a bully.

Trump told a white supremicist group to “stand by” in a presidential debate. Lincoln project will have fun with that one

If Trump was trying to win over suburban women voters that was a massive, massive, MASSIVE failure. Trump just added another 10 points onto his already horrible gender gap with women.

Trump's strategy was to create chaos, not to debate. Under those circumstances you hand him what he wants if you let him repeat that performance. Denying Trump that platform is taking control, not weakness.

I stopped watching about 20 minutes before it ended. The moderator could not control the debate.

Trump is a bully: loud & weak.

Trumps goal, if he had one, definitely wasn’t to win over voters. He kept bringing up Hunter Biden , the “super predator” stuff, etc because his goal was to try to make Biden look as bad as him so people throw their hands up and say “well they both suck, I just won’t vote” because he knows depressing the vote helps him win. That’s his entire tactic with everything, all the transfer of power stuff, fraudulent vote stuff. He just wants to discourage people from voting at all.

Yup. He cannot win a debate, so he wants to blow up the process. Which is a strategy, but not exactly something you want from a president.

In tonight’s presidential debate the President said the “Portland Sheriff” supports him. As the Multnomah County Sheriff I have never supported Donald Trump and will never support him.

That's why you don't give him two more nationally televised platforms to do it again. He is who he is. He had no intention of debating or following rules. That won't change.

Yes, but she was also wrong because if Biden refused the debate, that’s a big trump win.

The organizers should cancel saying Trump is not following the rules he agreed to. Invite Biden only to give 2 minute answers to the questions and that is all.

Won't happen tho'.

I'm sure the "suburban housewives" are going to change their minds and embrace a man who did a perfect imitation of a violent domestic abuser. They love that.

I hope Biden continues to debate. If he doesn't Trump will say he's afraid to face him. That wouldn't be a good look.
