Well...that went about as well as expected. At least they actually got to talk about some policy for a change, so that’s nice.

Biggest takeaway seems to be that Trump failed to condemn white supremacy, and then told the Proud Boys to “Stand down and stand by.”

Also, this isn’t a debate. That aren’t going to be fact-checked by the moderater.

Since when are debates about facts? :p

That, in and of itself, is an issue honestly. 
 

In proper debate, both sides argue a specific issue. They both make arguments supported by facts/research. Speaking times are respected. Each side as allotted time to present their argument. They are then given time to question the other side about their position. Both sides then get concluding statements. No personal attacks are allowed. You aren’t allowed to go over time.

I just can't see Trump winning this at all. He clearly failed to win any new states (not even NH), and yet he stands to lose Arizona, Michigan, NE-2, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and perhaps Florida.

 

Losing any 3 of these could pretty much be enough to lose it all. :wacko:

Really says it all!

 

I'll just say that I'll never complain about Danish debates again.

 

Biden dodged the traps that Trump tried to put out (especially trying to make Biden seem like a part of the radical left).

No doubt that he didn't seem all too strong. He didn't make major gaffes (though he was a bit incoherent from time to time) and I do to some point like his way going into the debate, but a stronger debater would have destroyed Trump today (but the again, Clinton did very well in the debates and that didn't help at all)

Trump has apparently tested positive to Covid-19.

      Just noticed that  Sweden rejected a late quota in men's ski cross. There is no one left to reallocate the quota to so men's ski cross will only have 31 athletes entered.   Who would've thought before the games began that women's ski cross would use all 32 quotas and men's ski cross wouldn't.

      This was pure bullshit, our federation already appealed protest. It would be better our guys would not jump in second round.    The only good thing is Japan won.

      Handball Discussion | Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028

      A few years ago, losing to Argentina might have been acceptable because you had a better squad. Not this time, but I guess I shouldn't expect anything different after those friendlies against Sweden either.    It was the ideal opportunity for us to dominate this sport on the continent for a few years, until Argentina once again had the best squad, considering that your work with young players is better.
