3. The NYT got it right. WAPO and the WSJ made it seem like Biden...

helped trump turn the debate into a chaotic debacle.

trump himself blew up the debate, loss it decisively and most likely the election while he was at it.

4. +1

The Wall Street Journal has always been pro-Republican. There wouldn't have had to be cross-talk if the orange ignoramus would have shut his trap and played by the rules. But we know there are no rules a sociopath won't break, or laws for that matter.

This country is in deep shit if we don't get rid of him now!

5. we watched the debate on CNN and the post debate discussion was BRUTAL

they were all horrified by Trump and how embarrassing for the country that was. Dana Bash, not a known partisan, called it a shitshow.

6. The debate was worth watching simply to see Trump out of control.

His anger, interruptions, and facial expressions should have turned any undecided voter into a Biden supporter. Or some Trump supporters may not vote at all because Trump was obviously not even fit to have a debate much less run the country.

Edited to add: The next debate is a town hall style, at which Biden does far better than Trump. She pundits were saying that there should be no more debates, but I think Biden should do the next one, even if Trump refuses.

11. "His anger, interruptions, and facial expressions"

have already been turned into the latest ad from The Lincoln Project - and it's great!

7. It was a horrible spectacle to witness.

But I would quarrel with any claim that both sides made it the shit show that it was. I was proud of Joe keeping his cool. Did he raise his voice? Yes. He had to do it to be heard at all over the MF’s insane ramblings.

8. We know who the sucker & loser was in this debate...

[Wicked Blue]

9. I was furious with the headline in the print edition today

Both-siderism at its worst

"Debate plunges into fiery squabbling"

Someone from the Biden campaign must have called the Post and raised hell.

10. That's why I went with the online version, which specifies Trump...

...did the plunging.
