Instead of "you haven't done anything about A, B, C" he should talk to the audience "He hasn't done anything about A, B, C"
This should be proof that trying to debate is of no point.
And still, why is interrupting allowed like this. Everything is a fucking joke.www.myspace.com0 -

Each is better served to be at the top of their party's respective ticket than the senile old dude each party has nominated.
We're so screwed as a country.Congratulate yourself for getting right down to trumps level. Only a greedy fool would put bidens performance on an equal footing as trumps. May your children and/or family speak about you in that manner when you are in your 70s
Anyway, your eyes are deceiving you, Poncier. Biden is a middle-aged woman, 180 on the Stanford-Binet, and she just cured Covid-19 and climate change. You should really stop being a greedy fool and just vote for her.
And I would hope that my entire family is honest about my mental faculties deteriorating in my old age. They certainly wouldn't be doing me any favors by ignoring it.
Edit: I did not nor will I ever watch these two candidates debate.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -

MayDay10 said:It was awful. Trump provides zero substance or policy. It's all a big scam. You could tell he didnt prepare at all outside of his big "points" such as the stupid thing about Biden's son. Trump's face was turning purple and more bloated as the thing went on. I was concerned he was going to drop dead.
Overall it's just embarassing. It gave me anxiety to watch.
My biggest takeaway was the general promise not to accept the election, as well as the call to "stand by" to a right wing group who is heavily armed and violent, along with "poll watchers"Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

I had higher hopes for Joe to be quicker on his feet and shows some wit. Unfortunately that didn't occur. I felt like he had numerous opportunities to grab the moment that he just let pass by. His one big "win" of the night was talking to the American people, talking about 7 million Covid cases and 200,000+ deaths. Talking about 40,000+ cases more each day and 750-1000 deaths each day. And trumps response "It is what it is".
Biden's line "It is what it is because you are who you are" was powerful, accurate and amazing. Hopefully people listened and let it sink in.
Biden's second moment came near the end in regards to his sons. I still think he missed the moment in full, but he showed honesty, compassion, and just being a human being.
There were no winners from last nights debate because we didn't have a debate. In understand how hard it is to be on stage with an interrupting liar like Trump...and still wished Biden would have been able to own the stage. But he couldn't. He certainly didn't hurt himself though, so there is that. I'm not sure I can watch anymore....and I'm not sure I can turn away.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Biden just won't go there. He wants to follow the rules even though tRump won't. It did piss me off a little how Biden would listen when Wallace would give him the "please let him finish" command even though tRump just completely ignored him.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

When all you've got is semantics, you really don't have much. I spend every day defending the English language, and even I recognize this.
Perhaps you will, too.

This is nothing new. People have been calling both candidates (and plenty others) some version of senile for a while now. Thing is that the clinical term is less used than the more broad definition -- the first definition M-W will give you is "... of, relating to, exhibiting, or characteristic of old age," adding an especially subentry regarding cognitive ability beneath the main entry -- so even if you want to argue semantics, you've got weak sauce, since you and I have no control over the broader lexicography.
For more from M-W, here are the two example sentences it gives for the senile entry:
1. Every time I got a government job, I always felt obligated to tell the authorities that I had this mother who had probably been a Communist. It was an annoying piece of baggage. Then eventually she became senile and forgot about politics and actually became very benign.
2. There appears to be little common ground between those who see the paintings [Willem de Kooning's late works] in question as a sublime achievement, a late style comparable to the cut-paper masterpieces of the aging Matisse, and those who describe them as the senile doodlings of a once great artist whose reputation is being damaged for the sake of commercial exploitation.
And two M-W examples from the Web (no shit!):
1. Republicans largely ignored the pandemic while attacking Joe Biden as a senile lifetime politician controlled by his party's far-left wing and incapable of protecting suburban voters from mobs of protesters.
2. Pirro may have yada yada-ed the conspiracy, but the point is clear: The Democratic Party and their enablers are conspiring to replace the senile Biden with the sinister Harris.
