Overall I feel good about the night even though the debate was a shit show.

Polls show Biden won and that is really the most important thing. The trajectory hasn't changed, betting markets moved in Biden's direction tonight. Trump needed a win and he didn't get it.

Basically debating Trump is like debating your 3 year old child. On every subject he lies and it's just exhausting. How can you debate someone who says white is not white and 1 + 1 = 5 on every topic? His idiot supporters believe him and 42% of the country knows he is full of shit. Nothing changes which is a net positive for Biden who was was winning and still is after the shit show.

This was the pivotal debate because it sets the tone of how the 1-on-1 is viewed.

The next debate is not until October 15, which frankly was a huge mistake by Trump since so many mail and early ballots will be cast by that point. If the dynamic had shifted toward Trump tonight Biden would have had a difficult time recouping.

What he could get through between Trump's tantrums was clear, powerful and thoughtful. Trump on the other hand was a hot mess dumpster fire of projectile vomit. Dishonest and very mentally unfit.
