I had recorded it, so my thoughts after finishing watching:

It was a good debate. Much more substantive and flowing than the first. Overall, the moderator was okay (some questions were biased and loaded, but I expected that) and she didn't make herself part of the spectacle like Wallace did.

It may have been Trump’s best debate between 2016 and 2020. He seemed in command, was funny and likeable at times, tough when he had to be. Much more measured and focused this time.

Biden had his moments of lucidity, and the first half or so was his best half in terms of hanging with Trump point for point. But you can clearly mark when he started to run out of gas - much more stuttering and verbal wandering. He blatantly lied quite a few times, but you could best spot that only if you knew the background of the topic. He definitely shot probably both feet off with his oil industry remark. That was a massive error, and Trump knew it - he looked like he couldn't believe Joe would actually say that.

His denial of saying he opposed fracking, then asking Trump to show the tape (which is readily available) was also pretty dumb on Biden’s part.

The comparison was more in focus last night - Biden looked and sounded old, while Trump looked quite a bit more energetic by comparison. They should have asked Biden about being possibly the oldest man ever elected, and whether he would pledge to serve one term. He wouldn't knock such a question out of the park like Reagan did in 1984 - but that's probably why they didn't ask it.

Overall, Trump won fairly easily. Did it actually affect voting decisions? Maybe some, but not a lot. People already know what they're getting. At most, Trump fans were reassured after the first debate, and Biden fans were likely a little more nervous compared with round one.

Good recap, Hammer!

I had the TV news on for a bit this morning to check the weather. Lots of crying liberals and a few Bernie Bots saying Bernie should've been the candidate because he would've kicked President Trump's behind.

I wonder if Creepy Uncle Joe has gone back to hiding in his basement?

I saw he was campaigning in Delaware today. Probably within shuffling distance of his basement.

You know, because he needs to nail down all 0.75 of DE's electoral votes.

CSPAN 1-2 was one of the last few news outlets I had listed that was supposedly non-partisan (not anti-Trump/Socalist) part of MSM local television line up.

With Chris Wallace (the closet Marxist) carrying the anti-Trump rhetoric for FOX NEWS SUNDAY, the entire local American television news media channels (non-pay) are virtually all Leftists now.

MSM Late Night Comedy Shows (FOX has none) attack Trump 97% of the time.

That's because Biden has that pugilistic "I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!" streak in his personality. Like, "Let's step outside and handle this like men!" He just can't help himself. Well, it bit him on the ass last night.

Biden Tries to Clean Up Debate Comments on Closing Down Oil Industry, Claims Workers Won't Lose Jobs

Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden tried to clean up his debate comment saying he would close down the oil industry, telling reporters afterward that he wants to end subsidies for fossil fuels and that “we’re not getting rid of fossil fuels for a long time.” Biden...

Entitled, plus they assume with the media on their side, nobody will know, and it won't matter.

Arrogance, pure and simple.

Not stupid. The Bidens, exemplified by "The Big Guy," are of the classic politiwhore genre. They honestly feel ENTITLED to the graft.

I already mailed my absentee ballot so I'm not watching. Actually, I probably wouldn't have watched anyway.

I am in awe at the irony of the media supporting socialism -- do they not know that freedom of speech is one of the first things to go under socialism? Another case of frog in the pot.

Then they must appreciate Socialism more than Freedom of Speech.

I was waiting for him to say "all hat and no cattle". Something Texans would understand.

Of course, the media would then fact check it literally, saying that Biden has never had an interest in cattle or livestock...
