Individual,
Debate shown on Channel ABC, SBS and Sky.

The Adjudicator was incompetent controlling the debate. He should have given them 5 minutes each to announce their policies, at the beginning. Then have media there to ask questions of each and 2 minute replies. Then 5 minute summing up.

It will depend on which channel you watched how they view the candidates.

Josephus,

Trump wasn't interested in debating issues.

All he wanted to do was start a fight with Biden in order to prevent Biden from communicating with the audience.

He was trying to gag Biden.

And in doing so Trump projected an image of himself as a political thug.

In every picture on the debate they show Trump's various momentary bad grimaces but not Biden's.
They do that here too when they show Lib/ALP pollies. It just demonstrates the Media's Bias & collaboration to indoctrination.
Trump has a lack of composure but the main thing is that he gives the Swamp people a run for their money !

AC,

Point taken. Thanks.

BTW, in order to give each candidate equal time and to bugger up the sh!tty tactic of shouting over one's rival, I hope the moderator uses the mute button at the next 'debates', ideally with the candidates each inside a glass bubble. How hard would that be to arrange ?

Joe

Two old dogs barking at each other. Not a very edifying event at all. A body language expert declares that Biden fell apart mentally (no surprise there). She was watching his mouth, and what it formed wasn't the same as what came out of it. The man is a dropkick, an insult and a very poor reflection on the Democrat party. How on earth could they put such an idiot forward as potential leader of the most powerful nation in the world! Trump didn't impress either, but he at least has his marbles and has proved that he is capable of doing the job as the most successful president since the great Ronald Reagan.

FOULmouth,

You tell me.

I'd definitely like to hear the pseudo-intellectual take on it and you're just the man to give it.
