On this Wednesday I am thinking about last night’s debate, of course. I did analyze it live right after and I said it was a split decision.

Joe Biden gained traction because he was cogent.  

He fumbled around a little bit, but he memorized his lines and he got them out. 

Biden had one big gaffe when he said there is no such organization as Antifa – that is not true. And he got pounded on the law and order situation. 

Trump just annihilated him on that – it is clear that Joe Biden does not want to confront the violence on the left.

Biden gained points in the debate about taxes – because Donald Trump, it seems, only paid $750 in personal federal income tax. 

Now, why the president did not have an explanation for that, I do not know – he had to know it was coming. 

Biden also pounded the president on Covid – but, as Donald Trump pointed out, Biden did not want to take strong action in the beginning of the pandemic. 

When Donald Trump stopped flights from China, Biden called him xenophobic. 

That should have been pounded in and in and in, because Covid is really a shaper in this vote and Biden is basically saying Trump caused all the deaths – not true.

I did not think Chris Wallace was on top of his game. There was way too much crosstalk, questions were too long, he did not have command of the facts.

All in all, split decision. I was a bit disappointed.
