The debate was Trump's last chance and he failed

[DIVINEprividence]

All the post debate polls show Biden won by double digits. Trump did nothing to change the dynamics of the race. This was his last chance and he failed. 11 days to go. Joe has his 67 Corvette gassed up and ready to go. Slam that gas peddle to the floor, peel out those tires and it is victory or bust full speed ahead. Go Joe Go!

1. Donald had nothing new to say.

Just the usual double think, double talk and blame shifting.

Joe said: Can We Fix It? Yes We Can!

At least, that's what I heard.

2. Bad metaphor, Gassed up

The biggest mistake Biden made was around fracking. Oil will be an issue.

[DIVINEprividence]

5. Who gives a shit

[judeling]

7. Western PA, the Texas oil patch

we need to win huge

[jaxexpat]

16. Yep, Divi, it's still a thang.

You may have noticed that no one heard much or understood much or remember much about the new jobs in the new fields of wind and solar energy generation advertised by Al Gore. That's because his message, legitimate and important, full of answers and hope for a bright future, were cruelly shouted down by the incessant mooing and bleating of fossil fuel interests. Those interests may be wounded a bit these days but, until they've divested from petro/coal and moved their portfolios over to renewables, they still carry much weight with the low-info folks who, unfortunately, never miss an opportunity to vote.

Worth remembering I guess.

3. A lackluster Trump performance...

Trump certainly didn't give the breakout, dynamics-changing performance that he needed, but he really wasn't capable of that. At best, he showed that he can moderate his behavior slightly, while the core person continues to be repugnant. We must take nothing for granted, however, and comtinue to press hard to bring Joe to victory and win our country back!

[Rorey]

6. I agree

Just because OrangeAss somewhat muted that core repugnancy doesn't mean that he suddenly turned into a normal person, and he certainly didn't turn into a good person. He isn't presidential, and he can't fake it. Never could.

4. If only he could have found some

smart kid to take the test.

9. I don't believe even a stellar performance last night

On top of multiple October surprises could save this president. He fumbled the Covid response so badly that there never was any coming back. They only have voter suppression and dirty tricks in their bag at this point.

[thucythucy]

10. And the courts the KGOP has managed to pack,

which is my greatest concern.

But in anything close to a free and fair election Trump is toast.

21. "They only have voter suppression and dirty tricks in their bag at this point."

That formula alone or ensemble with a few palatable lies, has sneaked them into the victory circle twice, so far, this millennia. The political weather from this station is still plenty cloudy with a fighting chance of blue sky.

We plan on early voting either today of next Tuesday. Polls pretty crowded all this week so far. The GOP game plan is, I gather, to claim that the majority of voters (all Republicans of course) will vote on Nov. 3rd. If for no other reason than to twist some sort of voter undercount or suppression or over counted mail-ins to make the final count a job for the state courts or the congress' 50 votes. Or the mobs, like in 2000, that worked out so well.

[Martin Eden]

11. All Trump has are lies and false accusations

The only way he can persuade the small percent of undecided voters is for them to believe those lies.

[Illumination]

12. Trump really creeped me out with those cold dark eyes & no smiling...He even LOOKS like a

stone cold killer these days...

[machoneman]

15. SCK...good one. He did not smile, did his head shaking and frankly did have that killer's look.

[Illumination]

18. His body language is also very abnormal & distracting. Imagine what scientists might find if

they get the chance to study his brain one day...Maybe it's not really human @ all!...

[lagomorph777]

20. There is only a reptile brain in there. He is the head of the Reptilian Party.

[Illumination]

23. You just might have something there... There's something not right with the guy for sure!...

[jaxexpat]

22. If they could see under his exoskeleton, that would help.

[Illumination]

24. He might not have a skeleton as we know it!...

[liberalmuse]

25. He looked look an fat, animated orange pretzel to me

That’s all I could see. A guy twisting himself in knots making weird faces and tossing out random words that maybe made sense to his Pavlovian-trained supporters. And then there was the exaggerated mouth movements. He started Pursing his mouth into a huge “O” like a proud baby blowing bubbles. He didn’t flip anything there.

[RobertDevereaux]

13. Let us hope Drumpf's negative BloatTails are...

Long and sticky and draggy, that he has so revealed the poison which is the GOP brand that voters in sufficient number shudder even to blacken the blank oval for a Repugnican dog catcher.

[treestar]

14. The media gins up that there can be a dramatic

change from debates. Or whatever else they can come up with from now until Nov. 3. They have to make it "exciting."

[moose65]

17. Of course he did

He is not capable of changing anything about his approach or his own "persona." He has been the same boorish asshole from the very beginning. The only difference is, after 4 years of chaos and "winning," people are sick of him.

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. the electorate is locked into his cult and the sane

it's now only about voting and getting them counted
