Not watching that video. That video conveniently pans to a distant shot when Biden freezes and Obama jump starts him, around the 32 second mark. Your own X thread shows as much, if you had bothered to read it. But you, Olga, and the other leftist sycophants see what you want to see. And the "impartial" fact checks like the AP. And I didn't admit I didn't know "much," I admitted that I didn't know that using derogatory names can be a sign of cognitive decline. I also provided a link with the thousand or so such names Trump has used for people since at least 2015. Nevertheless I said I'd keep my eyes open for signs of it worsening with Trump. Seems one of us is trying to be objective.

Still? No, he'd have fallen over by now. You are either a troll or have the perception of an autistic child, like squistion. I'll error on the latter to not be mean. Have a good night, Gutter.

Nothing about that link is a fact check. I would say they should be embarrassed by characterized it as such, but I'm confident they aren't.

So you don't think Biden needed to be led off stage by Obama?

You called the video of Obama leading Biden off the stage "fake stuff like this." You know this, right?

That's not the topic. The topic is Obama leading Biden off stage.

It's mostly around things you would agree with. Maher being Maher, he has some obligatory anti-Trump stuff in there, to keep his day job and his core audience. But 95% of it is good stuff.

Have you answered: when did you last see a presidential debate without an audience?

Unfortunately, comments like this are why I can't take you seriously in discussions about Biden. I'm incredulous that anyone who has had any interaction with people could not see the clear, significant decline. You, I expect it from. This is where you say "thank you" I think.

Holy carp that should be required viewing for every family with kids!

He's an interesting dude... seems like a perfectly normal guy talking about offroading in the southwest, or his affinity for guns, but with anything Trump I want to ask him to point out where on the doll Trump touched him.

Agreed. I called him an idiot above for agreeing to them.

Tell me what your first language is, so I can enter "I was talking about live crowds at presidential debates" into Google Translate and you have a passing chance of understanding it.

BeachGuy is a corporate finance exec who is super creative, like all corporate finance folks, and also admitted he sucks at math. So he's got that going for him.

Gun thrown.

Heads up, since I've got the first pick at the British: Reminder that I'm heading over there to attend it with my son$#@! We head out the Friday before (get in Saturday), spend a few days in Edinburgh, then head across to Troon. We've got tix for Wed-Fri. I'm not 100% sure I'm taking Scheffler at this point, but probably. Either way I'll try to remember to get my pick in the day before the draft, and make sure Ed or somebody has my cell for when my picks come up; I'll be 5 (?) hours ahead of the east coast. Being at the turn will help.

That's a very interesting poll, thanks. A few things that caught my eye: I wonder how many people across the country share this guy's disdain for the lawfare of the NY trial, and will change their vote accordingly? From an issue standpoint, abortion is Trump's greatest risk. If he could just stop bragging about his judges and have a not-extreme position on it, he can possibly diffuse it a little. Which brings us to: Ouch. I swear, if Trump just stood silent at the debates holding a placard saying "Biden's grade = F-" for 90 minutes, he'd win going away. But we all know Trump can't do that.

Yep, nothing to do with my points, and somehow, inexplicably, keeps talking about Trump interrupting. Stellar discussion as always from you, pseud.

Well, see, I said political debates. Educate me the last time you watched a presidential debate that was held in a bunker? I thought so. Also in response to my specifically saying the crowd and not the mics, your TDS can't help but go off on Trump$#@! And look at this tard. Here I am trying to have a civil conversation with a guy at TDS DEFCON -3. Answer my question above about presidential debates. I thought so. My point remains that Trump feeds off a crowd, whereas Biden may slip into a catatonic state if something distracts him, so the format clearly favors Biden. But I'm not sure English is the first language for you, so we'll see how you respond.

I was speaking primarily about the lack of bright lights, big stage, a crowd with whom to interact, gauge responses, etc. Those are allowed in political debates, are they not, Dozer? Or is it not important to gauge a presidential candidate's ability to interact with people?

No, not in this case. I see little value in listening to Biden and Trump lie about what they've accomplished and what they plan to do (they each had 4 years; why didn't they do "it" already?). To me the value is in assessing Biden's mental acuity in a challenging environment.

Same.

My point is that the sterile, quiet environment helps Biden way more than Trump.

A laugh track would be more like the current format -- sterile and controlled. A live audience during a sitcom can be great, and allows the actors to feed off of it.

There will definitely be some repeating of memorized material. As for reading, let's just say that I'll be surprised if Biden doesn't find a way to introduce notes into the format.
