First question on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court by Donald Trump.
Trump: "We won the elections. Elections have consequences."
Biden: "The American people have the right to say who their SC nominee is. They're not going to get that now."
Joe Biden says he opposes Judge Barrett because of her apparent opposition to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Significantly, he does not bring up abortion.
Donald Trump emphasizes that he was elected for a period of four years, not three.
Joe Biden brings up abortion (Roe v Wade). He says that it's on the ballot as well. Donald Trump disagrees. He says that it is not on the ballot and Biden does not know Barrett's opinions on the verdict.
Donald Trump: "He just lost the Left."
Joe Biden just denied that he had agreed on a plan with Bernie Sanders. The Democrat nominee flat out lied. Will anybody factcheck?
BIG TAKEAWAY: Joe Biden did not answer the question whether he will pack the Supreme Court with more judges.
"He has no plan" seems to be Biden's go-to line tonight.
Moderator: President Trump, you have been holding rallies. Joe Biden has been holding much smaller gatherings.
Trump: That's because nobody would come to his rallies.
Trump smashed Biden on his tax return story. 'The tax benefits I received was passed by Obama administration'.
FACT-CHECK: TRUE
This is very very bad moderating. Why is Chris Wallace not pressing Joe Biden on the Hunter Biden question? This is total baloney.
Chris Wallace is throwing soft balls at Joe Biden. You can question Trump for interrupting but if he wasn't doing that, Joe Biden would not have faced any significant difficult question.
The moderation is an absolute fucking disgrace. Chris fucking Wallace is a disgrace. He does not ask Joe Biden to condemn Antifa and leftwing violence but claims White Supremacists are responsible for the current spate of violence across the US. This is a disgusting farce.
Chris Wallace lost the debate. Overall, Joe Biden will not be hurt by this debate. He was saved by the moderator every single time. This is absolutely disgraceful moderation.
Final Comments: Donald Trump jad Noe Biden pinned in the corner but was saved by the moderator every single time. This debate will not change anyone's opinion. Even during the shitshow, Chris Wallace emerged as the clear loser.
