Debate....lets go!

#Debate2020
First question: Supreme Court.

Trump says he has constitutional right.
Praises ACB.
Biden: People have say on who is on SCOTUS. Not going to get that chance. Already voting started.
First lie: Biden.

Says ACB said she thinks the ACA is unconstitutional. Not true. She said the mandate might be unconstitutional.
Biden right on pre-existing conditions. But highly debatable whether court would overturn.
Trump rightfully says RBG said the President has the right during his term.

Nice factoid.
isAccording to a new analysis by the is HHS, 50 to 129 million (19 to 50 percent of) non-elderly Americans have some type of pre-existing health condition
First COVID argument:

Biden attacks Trump on 200k deaths.

Trump says Biden would have done worse.
Trump right on Roe v Wade...it really is not on the ballot.
Next question: Health care.

Trump and Wallace fight over the question.

Trump questioned on what his plan is.
Trump makes up some stat on drug prices that makes no sense.
Biden on public option:

Would be Medicaid auto enrollment.
Biden calls Trump a clown.
Biden, by the way, has hedged on whether he would oppose Medicare for All.

Tonight is the most vigorous he has been on it.

politifact.com/factchecks/202…
"To put it another way, Biden only had critical words when asked about Medicare for All, but he didn’t bluntly state he would veto it.

The statement is partially accurate but takes things out of context. We rate this statement Half True."
Biden now asked about packing the court.

Biden is a coward on this. He should say he won't do it.

But he can't.
Biden is so dumb on this. He should just say he won't. He could always flip flop later.
Next question on COVID.

Biden nicely lays out facts on cases, deaths, etc.
Trump in retort:

Hits Biden on not closing the border. Attacks China. Then lectures Biden on death counts in China.

Hits Biden correctly on closing the border.
Trump is right...even Dems like Cuomo and Newsom did praise Trump at times.
Biden argues the economy is shut down because of Trump.

That is ridiculous.
Biden makes the emotional plea about deaths. That is effective.
Biden says we don't trust the vaccine.
Wallace asks about the vaccine.

Trump says Pfizer, J&J, Moderna all say the vaccine can come quickly.
Biden rightfully hits Trump on Easter end, the bleach, etc.
Wallace asks about Harris undermining vaccines.

Biden: Scientists do not work for him.

Trump: I spoke to the scientists in charge.

Biden: "All lies"

Again, this is not good for vaccine trust.
Biden insults Trump on intelligence.

Trump attacks him back.
Wallace: Question on opening.

Biden: We need a plan.

Trump says Pelosi and Schumer blocking.

Trump says Biden wants to close down the economy.
Wallace: about masks.

Trump: I wear it when needed. Then makes fun of Biden's mask.
Biden incorrectly says Fauci never got masks wrong (he did, early on).
Trump claims outside is fine for rallies.

Biden: Attacks Trump on distancing.

Was hoping Biden was going to attack outdoor rallies...that would have been fun.

Then called him a fool.
Wallace on economy:

Trump: Greatest economy ever. Biden wants to close things down. Harmful for depression, drugs, etc.. Says trust people.

Biden: Hits him on personal taxes.
Biden says people on front lines are the ones losing jobs (who is he talking about?).
Biden talks about small businesses and restaurants closed.

But how is Biden going to bring them back if the disease lasts one more year? Doesn't make sense. Europe is proving that strategy isn't going to hold up.
Biden is wrong: All those tax code advantages were OBAMA ERA TAX LEVELS.
Trump: I've done more in 47 months than you have done in 47 years.
Biden avoids tax question: Should you raise taxes during a recession?

Biden doesn't seem to want to answer it?
Wallace: Obama's last 3 years had more job creation than first 3 years of Trump.

Trump: They had slowest recovery.

I think point Wallace there.
GM and Ford are gone?

What is Biden talking about?
Trump: China ate your lunch, Joe.
Biden: None of that is true.

Er...
Biden is going to have a problem on this one.

This is not totally discredited.

newsweek.com/hunter-biden-r…
Biden saying it isn't true...he is hoping that the media will ignore the fact that...it probably is true.
Biden: This isn't about my family or his family, but about your family.

Great line.
Wallace on Charlottesville:

Biden talks about Floyd, the White House protest that Trump cleared, etc.
Trump: Attacks Biden on Crime bill (Biden interrupts now, LOL).

"Superpredators"

Kind of surprised he didn't attack Biden re: Clarence Thomas.
Trump attacks Dems on Portland.
Trump says Biden doesn't want law and order.
Biden: Most police officers honorable...bad ones have to be held accountable.
Biden: Violence never appropriate.

Good.
Wallace: Ending of race theory.

Trump: I ended because it was racist, it was insane, radical. Have to go back to core values.
Biden: Nobody is doing that.

Er...fact check.

siouxcityjournal.com/opinion/column…
Biden incorrect about violent crime...it did increase the last couple years of the Obama administration.

bbc.com/news/world-us-…
Wallace asks about law and order...is it a party issue?

Trump: Yes it is a party issue.

Biden: I was raised in the suburbs! (wut) People traveling in the same cars! (wut).
Wallace: What is police reimagining, and BLM policies?

Biden: I am totally opposed to defunding (Good).
Trump : Name one police group that supports you.

Biden: STUMPED.

That ain't good, man.
Wallace: Re: Riots. As Dem nominee, have you called Portland/Oregon to stop the violence?

Biden: I don't hold public office now. They can take care of it if you stay out of the way.

Wow, that is a terrible answer.
Biden fact check on Conway is probably not accurate: "The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, the better it is for the very clear choice on who's best on public safety and law and order,"

businessinsider.com/kellyanne-conw…
Wallace on right wing extremists, etc.

Trump: I am willing to speak out against everyone (and then fails to do it clearly...dumb, missed opportunity).
Wallace: Why should voters vote for you?

Trump: I've done more than anyone. I filled all the judges, unlike Obama.

Biden: We've become weaker, sicker, poorer, more divided, more violent.
Biden brings up the bounty on American soldiers...wasn't that debunked?

politico.com/news/2020/08/1…
There is no evidence that such bounties were ever offered.

nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
Biden denying Hunter has received a lot of money is...strange.
On climate change:

Trump: I want clean water, air...we need more forest management.

Wallace: Why did you relax regulations?

Trump: because hurt economy.
Wallace to Biden: Want new limits on fracking, etc. Will it hurt economy.

Biden: He's wrong.
Biden talks about renewables, etc...doesn't mention nuclear. That is a failure. 100%.
Biden is smarter on this than Trump, but the policy is not realistic. The Paris Accords is a joke, that won't solve anything.
Then, Biden is talking about giving money to countries to behave better.

Good luck with that.
Wallace on Green New Deal: "Cost a lot of money, will create jobs". Not much evidence for that, but ok.
Trump: why didn't you do it?
Biden doesn't support the Green New Deal.
Fight over votes, mail in, etc.
Did Biden just come out in favor of voter ID, after the fact?
Um...yeah. The fact is the Left is far, far more likely to be in a violent protest for this.

Every couple decades or so, a political party complete deludes itself, is tone deaf, and then self immolates.

That is what the Democrats just did.

The fact they did this in the face of a threat from Trump just goes to show how stupid our political elites always are.
Trump won for a simple reason: He is politically smarter than Dems politically. Its the same reason Clinton, Bush, Obama won in the past; he is just better at politics than his opponents.
Trump should have never won in 2016, but stayed the course, and Hillary was stupid.

Trump would've won in 2020 if not for a once in a century global pandemic.

And this year, in the face of a mentally questionable President and a untrusted Vice President, easily won.

Who is responsible for the Democrats' complete face plant?

5. DEI/Woke
4. Media
3. Antisemitic Left
2. Kamala Harris
1. Joe Biden
Nobody is more to blame than Joe Biden.

He promised to be a bridge to the future.

Instead in his arrogance he thought he could be a modern FDR, a transformative figure. What a joke.
Biden's failure to step aside, and to allow the Party to choose a successor, was a historic error, a selfish moment of personal privilege that cost the country greatly.

It is his legacy.

My problem with Biden's response to the vast surge in antisemitism on his watch is that his statements have been fine, but followed up with almost zero specific action by his administration. He has done as little as Trump did after Charlottesville.
Frankly, Biden and AG Merrick Garland have acted far, FAR more aggressively against conservative groups.

See how they responded to critics of schools. They were right to do this...but we've seen nothing of the sort against anti-semites. Why?

apnews.com/article/educat…
Let's see Garland's 'memo' targeting anti-semitic groups, largely pro-Palestinian ones, and then I might believe they are treating this threat reasonably.

We've seen no such response.

Again, I rhetorically ask the question: Why?

We all know why.

Democrats are really, truly going to be stupid enough to let Donald Trump win, aren't they?

They are completely oblivious and trying to lose.

Let me count the ways:
1. Biden's age.

This is pretty obvious at this point. They are denying the reality of Biden's physical and mental decline. Voters see it.
2. Polling

Biden himself has said that the polls 'were wrong'. They aren't wrong. They are probably relatively accurate. Best case scenario, Biden is tied with a convicted, impeached opponent. Worst case, he is losing to that same clown.

The problem is that Biden is always wandering. This is not a unique moment. The media knows this, but since they are so dishonest, they have no credibility at all.

We are not having an honest discussion about Biden's health, period. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Again, which major publication has talked about this?

Certainly not @washingtonpost .

They still can't admit they 100% got it wrong. They weren't even a little bit correct. They were as wrong as calling the Earth flat. Image
"The issue was always whether the material was part of a foreign effort to influence the election — as had occurred four years before."

Um, no.

The issue was whether the media including @pbump and @washingtonpost would investigate it properly.

They didn't. They failed.
"The issue at the time of the New York Post report was in part that the material might not be authentic."

But they didn't report "Oh, it MIGHT be inauthentic."

They reported it was LITERALLY INAUTHENTIC, and then used Democrat liars to back that up.
