I think Biden pulled it together a bit more in the second half. He spoke directly to the camera a few times that were pretty effective. I agree that he should have resisted the urge to engage even more, but Wallace was totally ineffective as a moderator and Trump was taking full advantage. It's crazy that he didn't mute the mic of the person that didn't have the floor. Sad that it's necessary, but it is necessary.
Probably was against the debate rules that both sides agreed to. There was an editorial in the Times today that called on Biden to boycott the next two debates. I strongly disagree. That plays right into Trump's strategy, insofar as it can be said that he has one. I think that Joe might actually be the person for the moment. A person who can laugh when Trump is trying to anger you has the correct response. Sadly, he probably could have been in 2016 had Beau not suffered that GBM.It's crazy that he didn't mute the mic of the person that didn't have the floor.
This was effective af, and apparently people haven't come around to realizing it yet.A person who can laugh when Trump is trying to anger you
