Last night, I caught the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and His Fraudulency Joe Bided that was sponsored by CNN. I watched it on New Mexico PBS.
Surprisingly, I thought the moderators (Dana Bash and Jake Tapper) were pretty even-handed. I didn't see anything to complain about.
The answers by both men were their standard campaign talking points. Both dished out the attacks pretty evenly.
But I did notice that when Biden came on stage, he was walking very feebly, almost shuffling. Trump was his usual robust self.
Oddly, the most heated exchange (most all were heated) was their talking about golf handicaps. It got pretty silly. Trump jumped in with, "Let's not get childish." Biden seemed to freeze on a question on Medicare.
Biden performed better than I expected but he still had trouble putting his thoughts together. Trump performed to expectations. Trump should have made a better final statement.
That's my initial impression of the debate.
