Beautiful Beatdown
By who?
Grant – watch it and take a wild guess
Agree with Grant, who delivered a beatdown? I thought it was a draw, which would be a win for Biden. The 4 polls I have seen this morning point to a definitive win for Biden, which is more than I would give him credit for.
Both candidates did what they needed to do. Biden continued to describe his policies and contrast his approach to the Presidency with Trump’s. Trump worked hard to place the socialist banner on Biden. Really at this point the vast majority of voters have made up their minds. Both candidates played to their bases to try to ensure they get their supporters to vote.
Paul your correct. Very stark differences between the two. Take Covid for example. Trump is saying we need to open things back up and accept some deaths whereas Joe personalized it and basically said one death is too many if it’s your loved one and we must do whatever it takes to prevent that. You have very clear choices based on your own beliefs. Did this debate change any minds? Probably not.
Personalities aside this debate finally showed some major policy differences between the two. I can’t for the life of me believe their are undecided voters. The two of them only reflect back to us how different we have become in this country. Too me all of those differences add up to problems that neither of these men can fix. I laugh now stressing out over a past Bush or Clinton choice when center right or center left meant small differences. We now have major divisions as a country where there is no longer room for compromise and both sides are dug in. Time will tell, but this debate clearly gave some stark policy differences to choose from. One major theme for me that is emerging and I invite opinions is that Trump is and always has been a US first President and that’s why he ran in the first place. Biden on the other hand like Obama has a view that we are part of a bigger world and no more important than anyone else. I liked this debate. They both did a decent job of highlighting their differences.
Trump has been a “Trump first” president, and that’s why he ran in the first place. He has financially enriched himself while in office while paying only $750 in federal income tax in 2016 (while running for president and promising to release his tax returns but never doing so) and again in 2017 (his first year in office). He claims that only he can restore our economy, but has not provided any details for doing so. Meanwhile hundreds of economists (including several Nobel laureates) are urging voters to reject Trump for a second term.
Brent, you can’t honestly think that he ran for President to get richer? If you want to say he has an ego the size of Texas I’ll give you that, but he certainly didn’t need the money, but you do bring up a great point. Why are politicians on all sides able to greatly enrich themselves and their families from being politicians. That part of it all really bothers me when it’s supposed to be about public service.
Jeff A., I agree with you for the most part, but I think you’re drawing too stark a comparison on nationalism vs globalism. Trump says it’s USA first, but he’s been ham-handed about how he deals with other countries. Biden appears to support a return to a more cooperative approach – I wouldn’t characterize it as that he thinks we are no more important than anyone else so much as we need the cooperation of allies to accomplish important issues – we can’t go it alone and succeed.
Ham-handed, Randy? Hasn’t Trump brokered more meaningful peace deals than Obozo & Biden ever dreamed of? Get real and pay attention to what Trump has done and quit getting butt-hurt over his personality.
From the start, Trump has rode on the coat tails of the good economy from the Obama administration, he inherited it.
Why does Trump have an account in China? He wants to make more money. Why does Trump want to be buddies with Putin? He owes Putin money ( Trump tower), he doesn’t want to upset Putin. Why does Putin want Trump in power? To continue to destroy America. We have lost our friends, our Allies, our respect in the World because of Trump. Trump stands last night saying he cares about our environment but he has done everything to remove policies and safeguards in place by past Presidents back to Teddy Roosevelt.
America does want Trump’s coal and dirty fossil fuels. We want clean renewable energy, solar, wind, water, etc. Biden will get us back in the programs we need and restore our reputation in the world.
Lastly, you say Jeff A., Trump is US first, is such a joke. Trump cares about Trump first. Yes, Jeff A., Trump doesn’t need the money but he is greedy, not just for money, but greedy for power.
Lorna can I get the name of your dealer because he is selling you some good stuff.
Demanding our “Allies” pay their share of NATO expenses is bad? Standing up for the US is bad? Name one other world leader that isn’t looking out for their countries best interest.
Rhea,
Having our NATO Allies pay their share is good. Calling China out for unfair trade is good. It is the method ,the way Trump does things, that is concerning. Trump doesn’t know how to negotiate and treat people and Countries with respect. Trump is a bully, and doesn’t listen to anyone. Like a big baby, he just takes his toys and goes home. Do you want a self-centered, egotistic bully who is only interested in domination to get his way? Or do you want a person who has compassion, empathy, and respect for others?
America was great before Trump. The World looked up to us as a Leader. The World is now concerned and amazed at America’s decline. We are no longer the Leader who sets the good example. America has closed her welcoming arms and ripped children from the arms of their parents. Why? Paranoia, superiority, a lack of common decency and respect for fellow human beings. China, Russia, Iran, all our enemies love the discord and chaos Trump has caused. They relish is the decline of America and our values. Open your eyes Rhea, and all who don’t see Trump for what he is.
