It's pretty obvious. he actually did....they asked him if he denounced it and he said "sure" three times. the only ambiguous thing he said was about the proud boys to stand by which he then cleared up yesterday. do you admit he has denounced racism on many occasions with the proof that i provided you?

B-Man Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I agree with Senator Cruz, but I have long held that it does NOT have to be a media personality at all. There are tens of thousands of Americans out there who are more than capable of moderating a debate. Especially if we go back to the question/ rebuttal system used for centuries before our debate "commission" ruined it. SPOILER: HE DIDN’T USE MANY FACTS.

B-Man Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Old dog, no new tricks........... "Biden continually interrupts Ryan in a way I find incredibly annoying." I'm rereading my live-blogging of the October 11, 2012 debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan. It's making me view Trump's debate behavior in a different way. I hated the way Biden treated the very polite, earnest Midwesterner Ryan. Excerpts (with timestamps omitted): Biden is being rude, laughing and mouthing words.... Biden mutters an interruption. When Biden is given a turn, he calls what Ryan said "malarky."... Ryan is speaking earnestly... and Biden is chuckling toothily, his body shaking like Santa Claus.... When Ryan speaks, Biden is laughing clownishly again. It looks just awful... Biden is acting as though he cannot physically tolerate Ryan having a turn to speak!... Biden continually interrupts Ryan in a way I find incredibly annoying.... While Ryan is talking... Biden sighs long and loud... Biden interrupts. Ryan says: "Mr. Vice President, I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think everyone will be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other." I love the politeness of "if we don't keep" — we — when Biden has been an interruption machine and Ryan has barely interrupted and only occasionally has talked over to keep from losing his turn. The moderator, Martha Raddatz has done nothing at all to control Biden.... The stress level is rising. Biden is so angry. Why is he yelling? Ryan needs nerves of steel not to lose his cool. I'm impressed that Ryan, when he gets his turn, is able to speak in an even, natural voice. It's hard to concentrate on the policy itself, because the emotional static is so strong... That debate was so annoying! Some of the CNN commentators are talking about how Biden did what he came to do, to fire up the Democrats. "This was not for the independents," says Van Jones. Okay, well, but independents were watching, and Biden was horribly rude. He created this disturbing atmosphere of anxiety. Debating Trump, Biden got a big serving of what he dished out 8 years ago. Ryan did a fantastic job of maintaining his cool, staying substantive, and going high when Biden went low. And then he lost the election. I'm sure Biden would have been willing to do what he did in 2012 and be completely rude and irritating as hell once again, but he's 8 years older, and, more importantly, Donald Trump is not Paul Ryan. Trump is Trump, and Trump saw the ultra-polished and polite Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan go down to defeat. 4 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: And on the third day he relented.

B-Man Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 ROGER SIMON: Go Lincoln-Douglas: Eliminate Moderators from Presidential Debates. “Let’s completely eliminate moderators from presidential debates, all of them, not just Chris Wallace, although I’m almost certain the vast majority of Fox viewers would be delighted to see him go altogether. Presidential debates should be conducted in the time-honored Lincoln-Douglas style, just the two candidates by themselves on stage.” It’s an idea so crazy, it just might work.

The poll shows Biden garnering 54 percent of the vote to Trump’s 41 percent, with 53 percent of likely voters surveyed saying that the Democratic nominee performed better than Trump in the debate on Tuesday night, while only 29 percent said the president had the better performance. That debate quickly devolved into a raucous and chaotic event defined by frequent interruptions and hectoring by Trump, who has since sought to declare victory in the showdown. But the CNBC/Change Research poll found that 45 percent of likely voters believe that Trump underperformed expectations at the debate, while only 11 percent said that Biden performed worse than expected.

The diff in reporting and outrage thereafter was Ryan was a R who looked like a surprised 10th grader, and was viewed as politics. Biden Is D, who 8 years ago would never have allowed himself to be batted around like he was, looked like an old guy who couldn’t keep his thoughts straight. Now, 50 years of Biden doing this sort of thing is forgotten because Trump outBidened Biden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
