2. Biden

Sep 2020

Got some critiques where people said he should have fought back more, but I thought he played it nearly perfect. Had Biden "fought back" the debate would have been worse and the clear juxtaposition we saw last night would vanish. Biden got in a few digs (shut up man, clown, etc) but mostly smirked, shook his head and made some facial expressions of bewilderment as the Trump ShitTrain spiraled out of control on national TV. Biden didn't need to tie any rope for Trump, he did it to himself.
He was also called a liar and had no reaction to it. LastLiberal in PalmSprings Sep 2020 #1
That was a big takeaway for me as well. Tom Yossarian Joad Sep 2020 #32
