What's the spread on the Biden v. Trump game tonight?
- Thread starter Thunderstick
- Start date
The officials are from the CNN conference, so all the calls will be slanted toward the home team?
The bar is low enough that one team just has to survive and it will be a "major victory".
I'm sure they'll both be pumped up on Metamucil and Boost energy drink. I'm expecting the same jacked up Joe from the State of the Union Address. Two old birds trying to send each other into retirement.
We want him to ''survive'' and not hit the portal because he's beatable.
It's on a 2 minute delay instead of the normal 7 second delay so we will only see and hear what CNN wants us too
Unfortunately, he is not going to survive based on the first 15 mins.
The plan had to be to put him out there, embarrass him, and then get rid of him.

Biden's eyes are 200% dilated. They look like those oil eyes on The X-Files.
Newsome has a terrible record in California and visuals in the cities that would tell a terrible story in political ads. Obama has no record other than her husband's and could recover some of the black vote just by being black, but I don't see her running. Hillary wants a rematch and may strongarm her way in.
First impression, the moderators were not as slanted as I expected, kudos to them. Biden and Trump behaved quite a bit better than last time. (I had to show my kids clips of real debates after the one 4 years ago.)
I'm also sure each side feels their guy was a clear winner.

Biden did not present himself well at all. Raspy voice, stuttering, etc. Trump had more vigor as he spun his lies. How in the world did we end up with these 2 candidates. I thought the moderators did a good job…but felt they should have called out both candidates when they did not answer the question that was asked.
the most impressive part of the entire debate , IMO , was the moderators....I expected an attack on Trump and Biden to get softballs.....but they were fair and asked both tough questions....I appreciated that
I think these debates are mostly useless....most Americans dont care about NATO or how much billionaires are taxed and such....if you asked me its a real easy task....on election day ask yourself 1 question.....were you , your family and the country in general better off and in better shape when Trump was president or when Biden was president????.....then vote accordingly.....simple as that
I thought the debate format did not require answering the questions but they could use the time to say what they wanted.
Biden fell flat on his face. I don't think it was even close.
Unfortunately now I expect something drastic to happen soon. Don't know what but it's not going to be good.
Multiple times the moderators would say "you have X seconds left" and then would repeat the question. They even gave additional time to try to get both sides to answer the specific question. Beyone that, there is not a lot you can do to "make" someone answer the question. I am no fan of CNN (never really watch unless I am in an airport), but I thought the moderators did an excellent job and greatly exceeded my expectations on asking fair/tough questions of both candidates. I actually thought the microphone cut off helped keep Trump focused. There were a couple of times the production booth opened up the microphones for the other side to respond beyond the alloted time. I found it kind of funny thinking about Trump unxepectedly seeing his light turn green so he could talk, and how that is kind of like my dog realizing the invisible fence battery was dead.... On substance/formal debate aspects, I don't think either did well, with both sides refusing to answer multiple questions. As to the question "do they appear presidential" (which I think most people think about more than substance unless they watch this stuff every day) I think Biden screwed the pooch kick. My impression was that many of the uncommitted/non-partisan people who turned to watch saw that gaff within the first 15 minutes and it was over. From that point, everything they saw was through that prism and Biden only continued to reinforce it although to a lesser degree. As to what the democrats do the next several weeks 
They did what they were told to do, get out of the way and let Biden hang himself.
I'm struggling to understand the strategy by Biden's camp. He is struggling mightily in the polls, particularly for an incumbent. Last night felt like suicide mission for the party. I guess there's nothing his camp could do. He had to debate, so there was no way around it.
Surely there is a Plan B for the convention.
The plan is to dump Biden and replace him with someone who then claims the disasters we are facing are all Biden's fault and not the Democratic Party. We dumped Biden so now you can vote Democratic is the plan.
Many people don't even watch the debates. They are going to vote how they've always voted. Both parties have moved further left or right, so I just don't see anyone crossing over. The independents will vote for a third party or just stay home. IMO, the swing voters are first time voters who will either vote like their parents or like their college professors.
Never understood this thought process; that’s like taking your ball and going home. You have voluminous information to make a mature decision for the benefit of the country; make it.
He looked like one of the losers in those slap fight videos.
