Trump clearly won on substance and noting his accomplishments in office. Biden\u2019s basic modus operandi<\/em> was simply to deny everything: every radical position he holds (sometimes essentially forced into by the radical left base of his party), he pretended not to hold (because he has<\/em><\/strong> to, to win).<\/p>\n

He offered no convincing policy proposals. Basically, he simply trashed Trump, which is no surprise at all. It\u2019s what you do, when you have exhausted your own [constructive \/ positive] ideas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Unfortunately, President Trump constantly interrupted. This always drives me nuts, whoever does it. It\u2019s not a political thing, but an \u201cabide by the rules \/ personality\u201d thing. It wins no admirers and makes the one who does it come off (whether he is or not) like a know-it-all jerk.<\/div>\n
*<\/div>\n
If I had my way in these debates (any<\/em><\/strong> formal debate of any<\/em> sort<\/em>), whenever anyone interrupted, their microphone would simply be cut off. Maybe one day in a debate that will happen.
\n*<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Because of his interruptions, he neutralized his advantages and blew a golden opportunity to achieve a clear victory in the eyes of independents and undecided voters. And that\u2019s because, in addition to a dislike of rudeness and silly bickering, outside of the debate rules, the American people also dislike disrespect towards authority: in this case, towards the President.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*
\nVice-President Biden called Trump a \u201cclown\u201d several times, a \u201cracist\u201d and an inveterate \u201cliar\u201d (as opposed to saying, \u201cyou lied about x . . .\u201d), the \u201cworst President ever\u201d and said \u201cshut up\u201d more than once. This is totally unacceptable (and would be, I submit, for a majority of people of whatever persuasion, minus, of course, the far left). And they talk about how crass Trump is? But as I said, because Trump interrupted so much, it was perceived as a wash in terms of demeanor. And that\u2019s a shame.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*<\/div>\n
That\u2019s basically the gist of it, in my opinion. Wallace was ridiculously biased, but that\u2019s just how it is. The Republican must not let the inevitable bias rile him.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*
\nWe still have two debates to go, and hopefully, Trump will learn from his mistakes here and go on to achieve a clear victory in the coming debates. Biden just has to be himself, and the potential for implosion (both policy-wise and in public perception of ability and competence) will eventually become a reality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
*<\/div>\n
Every national election is about winning over the independents and undecided voters, and largely about establishing likability.<\/div>\n
