Details: The debate will be 90 minutes long and have no commercial breaks. There will be no opening statements, and instead Wallace will dive right in with the first question to Trump. It will be divided into six 15-minute segments that Wallace has chosen. They are:
1) The Trump and Biden records;
2) The Supreme Court;
3) Covid-19;
4) the economy;
5) race and violence in cities;
6) the integrity of the election.


After the debates a poll will be posted on who you think won this first debate. Have lots of fun, keep the commentary fresh as I'm sure we've all heard many of the same lines for months and enjoy the beginning of the end of this presidential election cycle. Just as a reminder, on October 7th there will be a Vice Presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.

My final conclusion:

(1) Trump made far more good points than I expected. He's clearly gotten better at the live debate format after four years of dealing with hostile press.

(2) Trump interrupted a lot. Whether or not that does more harm than good remains to be seen. I don't think this is going to win many people over who already don't like his blustery personality, and interrupting during the 2 minute no interruptions segment felt like a bit much.

I would compare this to the second debate between Trump and Clinton. Trump hit Biden with low blows, but given that Biden kicked his campaign off by lying about Charlottesville I don't feel particularly sorry for him.
TALK SHIT, GET HIT.
 
Trump didn't come off great.

Really? Both men never backed down, well lots of times Wallace jumped in before Biden had to make that decision, they articulated their positions, they revealed a lot and there was much rret's fighting rrrove spirlit. I think both did well.

Reactions: Puff
Worse thing is, that's as fair a moderator as Trump is going to get, and he won't get that fair again.

I'm genuinely mad Trump is asked to disavow the Proud Boys but Biden isn't asked to disavow BLM or Antifags.
Silver lining, Biden just pissed off lefties with disavowing the Green New Deal.
"Disavow white nationalists"
"Antifa is an idea"...so is white nationalism motherfucker.

That section with the white nationalists is going to be clipped and sent all around the news.
 
I think Trump was able to eek out a win over Biden but lost to Biden + Wallace. Probably not a big enough performance from anyone to really swing things, but that's a total layman's opinion.
