The National Televised Debate was biased... the questions and topics were premised on Pres. Trump's policies being defective or needing justification. The bias was so thick that one could cut it with a knife. Not one serious question about the Biden family finances and the VP's involvement in several 'pay to play' schemes. However, Pres, Trump performed very well and Joe Biden displayed some serious mental gaffs and memory problems. Biden was rarely challenged by the moderator, unlike President Trump, who was constantly pressed and questioned by the monitor.
Not one question was put to Joe Biden about financial corruption and the apparent 'pay to play' schemes of the Biden Family... Albeit, Pres. Trump was pressed to explain his alleged income tax issues, even after he explained the reason for his not releasing his taxes. The President stated he pre-paid his taxes, to the tune of 10's of millions... likely the result of income averaging or some other complex negotiation and method of calculating one's tax liability.
The moderator failed to ask about Pres. Trump's successful peace negotiations between the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel... She ignored his successful move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem and his defeat of ISIS. No mention of the President's major drawdown of US Forces in Iraq or the peace negotiations in Afghanistan. Instead, she focused on N. Korea, with whom no other President had managed to engage in multilateral peace negotiations and serious talks on nuclear disarmament before Trump arrived. She completely failed to question the President about his Trade agreements or his successful negotiation with NATO's member states, resulting in major financial increases for the defense pack. The moderator seemed to ignore a whole host of successful Trump administration foreign policy and trade initiatives.
Many of the questions put to the President were framed with a liberal bias and couched within a false premise to make the President look bad, even before he could respond to the question. The moderator skipped past Trump's questions on the firing of the Ukrainian chief prosecutor. She ignored the 1.5 Billion dollar deal with China and the money given to Biden by the Russian Mayors wife... why? Not one hardball question on Biden's financial links to foreign powers or how he managed to become so wealthy on his government salary.
The Moderator and the debate were clearly there to make the President look bad... However, the President did well and I believe won the debate.

My take on the 'Rebate' last night was that Trump was clearly the winner.
As to the first debate it is nearly impossible for President Trump, to stand there and listen to a known liar exercise his trade, to a moderator (Chris Wallace) who openly agrees with the lies, and even encourages more of them.
Both debates were designed to elevate Biden and portray Trump as a do-nothing blowhard. Both moderators were chosen because they were in the tank for Biden, and for no other reason. The Commission on Presidential Debates is filled with left wing advocates from top to bottom as well. These are not debates. They are staged opportunities for the Left to deceive the public.
The Biden/Harris ticket is not qualified, nor is it capable, to function as the Leader of the Free World. With people like this there would no longer be any freedom to even lead. Government control would quickly become absolute, replacing liberty and individual rights while discarding the Constitution as an outdated piece of trash. Biden should be held accountable for his acts, not elevated as a candidate for President. This is not merely politics as usual. This is sick.
Biden has spent nearly his entire adult life in politics. He has lied so much and so often that it has become natural, part of his character. He no longer can distinguish any difference between truth and lies, facts and fictions. He spouts only what he believes is convient for him personally. He has seared his conscience and has become a reprobate.
Strong words, I know. But how else can you describe these people. One after another have come before us, pretending to care, and promising to lead us, and in case after case, instance after instance, only enriched themselves at the expense of the governed.
If this trend is not stopped, our lot will be that of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Well said Dale... good synopsis of the situation. Let us hope the President has a plan to save us all from the coming train wreck... its just around the corner.
