Watching the debate tonight?

Why I didn't bother watching the debate for more than a minute or two. As explained By David Leonhardt of the New York Times:


Mrs. newyorkguy and myself will be early voting this Saturday. For Joe Biden.

I'd take the opposite tack to Leonhardt in that it is a typical debate. The right have been lying about the policy positions, and their outcomes, of the left and centre for the last forty years and more.

The only difference between Trump and Ray-Gun or Shrub is that his lies are so obvious that they're demolished immediately.
 
If somebody was able to get Trump to be less belligerent & interrupty this time, why couldn't they do something about his awkward forearm-flapping with the hands & wrists stuck in that weird shadow-puppet-butterfly pose?

Whadda want? Miracles?
 
2 people I know who watched the debate this time around said that Biden came off as senile. I didn't bother watching the debate live, but checked out ransom sections of the debate on the youtube (which has the whole thing).
I don't know what debate they watched: Biden seemed fine to me throughout the entire thing, no matter what I jumped to. Now, since he had chosen to actually give numerical information, like percentages, dollar amounts, etc, that meant that he had to actually remember, in real time, this stuff. Since El Trumpo didn't bother, he didn't have to bother pausing to remember anything.
Is the sight of a older man trying to remember facts and figures during a live debate the same one as senility? That's not a notion that I've ever entertained.
Biden didn't have to hit one out of the park; he just had to not strike out. Randomly zipping through the debate, I didn't see him strike out.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say they're Trump supporters. Amirite?

 
Surprisingly not. One of them occasional goes on about Trumps latest stupidly. But also thinks “they’re all the same” when you get down to it. I said “so something joe said in 1977 is equal to the last 5 years of insanity from trump?” I like to remind what Asimov said about “More wrong than both of them put together”.
