    That moderator annoyed the fuck out of me.  I'm typically leery of those who continuously smile while asking "hard hitting" questions.

    Does anyone believe either of these events contained truth, sincerity or transparency?  They're all so full of shit.
    Token complete bullshit bothsidesism. 
    If you think my opinion is that, so be it. My impressing you (or anyone here) is not a priority.

    i only saw a few highlights, but i didn't notice her smiling during hard hitting questions. maybe that was nerves? who knows. 

    all politicians have to say what they think the majority want to hear. that's their entire job when campaigning. figuring that out. so of course there's going to be promises made that they never intend to keep, or will blame the other side for not allowing them to keep, but by and large, i actually believe that biden is passionate about people. i believe trump is passionate about himself. 

    there's really no contest there. 
    Savannah is a former attorney and legal correspondent before she took over the Today Show.  I’ve seen her interview quite a few people on the Today Show and that is pretty much her typical mannerism while asking a “tough” question.
    Still sits oddly with me, but thank you for this.

    we can't really bothsides the performances last night.

    trump imploded. biden was on the air longer and even stayed afterward to answer questions from the audience. trump would never, ever do that. there is no money or ratings in it.

    “Bothsides” is a word now? A verb?

    I’m saying what I thought about the portions I saw. The inferences some of you make..ridiculous 🙄

    Kind of makes me wonder how she approached questioning in the court room.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Are you saying Trump would never take questions or accept more air time?

    yes it is a verb. 

    it is when people say "ugh both sides are terrible" when there is a clear, glaring difference between the two sides. one is clearly better than the other. one clearly has a better and more positive vision than the other. one is clearly less of an asshole than the other.

    i am not attacking you. i am not inferring anything. just saying that there is a clear difference in approach, temprement, and delivery of the message between the two candidates.

    i think the ratings loss is huge for trump. people are tuning him out. his tweetstorms are not getting the attention and media coverage they once did. i think the majority of americans are just over trump.
    Anyone who isn't over Trump is likely to be a very sick person and would do well to seek help immediately!

    He may be getting tuned out, but the GOP sure as hell is trying everything in their power to manipulate the Electoral College.  I'm sure as hell not holding my breath until the votes have been counted.

    It’s funny though; I never mentioned Trump at all. The moderator, semblances of honesty, yes. So this “bothsides “ thing is moot as far as I’m concerned.

    You said both sides are full of shit.
    This comment certainly should be viewed as a fact by everyone -- perhaps except other politicians.
    I am as annoyed by the both sides folks as anyone...but this is not a both sides type of statement.

    This was not an example of someone trying to play off something shitty Trump did by calling out something Biden did.

    this is one of the reasons I've always laughed when republicans/conservatives occasionally poke their heads in here and claim we're in an echo chamber. we argue enough amongst ourselves without them. i don't see this as an echo chamber at all.

    Maybe at that time it wasn't revealed yet that he had one leg shorter than the other?  Or maybe he had down feather lining in them due to Letterman keeping the Ed Sullivan theater to damned cold?
