Honestly, I saw Trump baiting Biden throughout the entire debate - if you can call it a debate - and I thought he used decent restraint - certainly not perfect restraint - but, I am not sure many could handle the constant barrage of baiting, insults, and mockery from Trump, who apparently was not their to follow any rules or impart any information.

Biden certainly was not perfect and the entire debate was the chaotic, crap fest that Trump intended it to be. My only question is - why didn't Trump just refuse to show up? He is the trailing candidate that needed this debate, but if he was planning on blowing it up, why bother even coming?

Yes, the first presidential debate was a total disaster, just as I suspected it would be. I assume Trump showed up to the debate because he didn't want to be seen as a loser or called a sore loser. I think he wanted to go after Biden as much as he could because he wanted to win the debate.

Trump will talk over it.
It is not necessary for Biden to continue

Yet he ended up blowing it up

Look, it doesn't matter to me if Trump decided to blow it up. Biden didn't suffer for it in the polls. Also, he is considered the winner - not that it really means much.

The winner for what? He didn't do anything more special last night than he has been doing.

I can imagine Trump imploding and he loses all self-restraint if he's muted in the next debate. I think he would snap and he'd start yelling and cussing at everyone around him. He doesn't appear to have the ability to control his temper and he blurts out whatever comes to his mind.

Yet he ended up blowing it up

Yes, he did.

So maybe Trump blew up,.. but only because Biden wouldn't let the man speak.

Personally, I don't either one of them as the winner. It wasn't a debate, it was a train wreck.

... Or because Trump won't tolerate LIARS???

The president performed well for being railroaded with streams of lies from Biden.

Sigh. The debacle between him and Trump wasn't anything to write home about, that's for sure.

Well there is ONE THING Biden has perfected in his 47 years, -- his ability to criticize others accomplishments, for what he wouldn't do himself.

I don't mind someone having a different political view than my own. I respect their right to their own opinion, even if I don't agree with them.

Blind and deaf to the lies that spew from the left.

I agree

yet, I get hooked when people are so tribal that they suspend all perspective taking skills in order to support their candidate
