Presidential Debate – Mud Bath in the Trench

The debate threw just light on any questions. Instead, it cast a shadow over the United States. In the first of three presidential debates tonight, challenger Joe Biden challenged President Donald Trump to shut up, calling him a clown. While Trump called the Democratic challenger stupid. The debate was marked by interruptions, and Trump, unsurprisingly, had provocation as his strategy. What was somewhat surprising was that Biden got sucked into Trump’s level.

– You want to shut up, man? This is so unpopular, Biden said, in response to Trump’s systematic disruptions. Trump responded to Biden’s claim that he was not very presidential by pointing to Biden’s son Hunter, whom he accused of being corrupt, having received money from China, among other places, and whom Trump said was fired from the military. , and was addicted to drugs. Biden responded to the serious personal attack by saying he was proud of his son who had struggled with his problems and stood up. So Biden was personal. And pissed off. It was unleashed in Cleveland, but it wasn’t Trump who profited from this target under personal attack.

A poll Immediately after the debate ended just over 4.30 last night, 70 percent of viewers were shown to be upset after the debate, while 17 percent said they were informed. It is a deadly summary of a mud bath. What remains is that Trump failed to convince Biden and introduced the Democratic challenger as “Sleepy Joe,” the sleeping Joe, as Trump likes to call his opponent. However, Trump did not use the derogatory feature in tonight’s debate, which purports to describe Biden as old and senile. But Biden also didn’t crush Trump as a liar and unreliable.

Both candidates He spoke with his own, more than with the ten percent of insecure voters who can decide the elections in five weeks. The confrontational tone probably didn’t help move many voters. The president and the presidential candidate were both in their trenches. There they fired a lot of gunpowder, without hitting the opponent with shots that were neither fatal nor very damaging.

A key point The debate was when Fox News host Chris Wallace confronted Trump who for many years did not pay federal taxes, and in 2016 and 2017 he paid $ 750, figures that The New York Times unearthed over the weekend. To which Trump responded – without claiming to be precise in any way – that he has paid millions of dollars in taxes. Trump probably won’t be able to document this before the November 3 election.

Trump tried too to ridicule Biden for wearing a mask. There was hardly any chess move. Trump’s claim that he has dealt with the pandemic in a fantastic way was repeated, without changing the fact that the United States has more people killed by the virus than any other country, about 205,000, which hardly served Trump’s advantage. . Neither is the fact that Trump refused to distance himself from right-wing racist extremists. Or that once again he sowed uncertainty about whether he would accept the result of the elections if it turned out in his favor.

CNN television station Shortly after last night’s debate, he published a poll showing that 60 percent of those who watched the debate thought Biden was the winner, while only 28 percent thought Trump won. Another television station, CBS, reported that 38 percent thought Biden was better than Trump, while 24 percent thought Trump was better than Biden.

What is in that case good numbers for Biden, who was dumped in a massive mud bath by Donald Trump. This is dramatic for Trump, who had to win tonight’s debate to go on the offensive in an election campaign in which Biden leads seven to eight percent in national polls, and also has a solid lead in several. auspicious states in which Trump must win to continue living. The White House.

Biden on your side It showed him to be far from senile and largely stopped Trump’s calculated provocations. He was never really warned despite Trump’s persistent attempts. Biden has all the more reason to be happy after the night’s mud fight, from which neither candidate escaped without getting dirty.
