Well for all of you who did not watch the debate. I hate to break the news... Sleepy Joe MIGHT have had a career night. One key with debates is performance versus expectations. Biden came in with very low expectations (thanks to Trump). He looked like the outright winner of the debate to me. So in terms of performance versus expectations Biden did very well.
What is worse for Trump is he said lots of highly inappropriate things that are going to now going to hit the Twittersphere (gotta love soundbites). So we will see, but the ‘spin’ could further damage him. (My personal favourite was at the end when i think he murmered for white supremacists to be ‘ready’ - something like that - when asked about a peaceful transfer of power once the election results are known... but i MUST have mis heard because that would be bat shit crazy.)
So coming in to the debate Trump was doing very poorly. We will see what the polls say in another week or so but my guess is at a minimum Biden will maintain his strong lead and will perhaps see a small bump. (Most people have already made up their mind.) Trump needed a strong showing and instead he got roughed up.
Sleepy Joe... didn’t know you had it in you!
