There are a number of places a viewer can go to watch the livestream debate between challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump. CSPAN is one such place:
My thoughts: That was the biggest shitshow I ever saw in a debate. The election was already pretty much over with the NYT Trump tax reports, but the debate, if it can be called that, shut the door on Trump for good. I don't see how anybody could have sat through that debate and feel Trump has any business whatsoever being president. The media, meaning CNN, created a Frankenstein monster with this orange-haired idiot.
Biden was presidential, he was calm, he got in barbs against this raging madman when he could, and he answered the questions. All Trump did was talk over and interrupt, in large part because moderator Chris Wallace lost control in the early going. Later on he got more firm. What happened was Trump displayed his pathology to the entire country, and I would think halfway intelligent people would ask themselves why the hell this guy ever got the GOP nomination in 2016, let alone get in the White House?
If there are two more debates, Trump won't be able to reverse course. I don't think at this point Putin or even Roger Stone could help him. Was it drugs that Trump was on, or did his handlers say to him to just let him be himself and try to smear Biden? Well, his attempts to smear Biden didn't work; Trump came off as completely childish.
It was 90 minutes long, but it felt like 90 hours.
