Poll. Who won first debate?
- Thread starter WVU80ate_rivals
- Start date
Biden doesn’t know his plan either. Wallace-fed it to him in his question. He also fed Biden service industry job growth numbers. Finally, Wallace tried to make Tulsa appear as unsafe as Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Ferguson & Kenosha. Things have gone on longer and are 10X worse there. Very frustrating.

First, I didn't watch. But after reading about it online, the fact that we (Americans) have these TWO CLOWNS as our candidates is why I won't vote for either.
I understand that MWV, but that position considering how stark the differences are between these two is irresponsible. I'm just lamenting the poor way we access our information to decide. Not voting isn't an answer.
I take it that he’s voting 3rd party or write in protest vote. It’s what I did last go around. I’m fine with that approach. I hope of a bunch of disenfranchised independents do that.
I don't know. I understand the frustration, but to me writing in a candidate who has no chance of winning simply assures one of these two has an easier path to victory. It's going to be one or the other, a write in candidate is a wasted vote IMO because they have zero chance to win.
Right, but your vote is to not decide on who will win, it’s who you feel is best represents what you want. If neither candidate represents that, write in who you want. It’s for sure a wasted vote, but it’s yours to cast how you want. You don’t have to vote the lesser of 2 evils. I wrote in Reagan last election. Trump’s policy initiatives turned me to him this time around.
Why can't I vote for Trump? Because, I just cannot stand the man. I despise everything he is or says. My feelings for him date back to the 1980s. Now, if he had presented himself as more "presidential" and not pissing off (or on) everyone that disagrees with him, then maybe I could have. I voted for George W. I didn't agree with him, but I liked him better than Gore (I voted Clinton before). But I voted for Bush because I liked him, his personality. Trump is the guy that tries to start a fist fight with everyone, only to slip out the door once it gets going.
It shouldn't be about who has the chance to win. It's a chance for every American to have their opinion count with a vote. IF both guys are truly clowns, then vote for the 3rd party. I would rather every person exercise their right to vote for someone they believe than worrying about who realistically has a chance of winning.
As I said I understand the sentiment, but why vote for someone who can't win? No one voting 3rd party can explain what that candidate's policies are or how they'd be implemented with either a Democrat or Republican Congress? It's just a protest vote.
Trump responds to how he's treated. He's a brawler, and a fighter no doubt, but Americans who voted for his policies don't disagree with the results. Do you?
1. I'm fine with that
2. I think it's more than a "protest vote". It's my conscience as an American who is sick and tired of the division and constant bickering at the highest levels.......whether it be Trump or Pelosi or Schumer.......Hell, I may just write in Pence......I don't agree with him, but at least he isn't out there shouting from the rooftops and trying to spark a civil war.
Most voters are making their choice for the type of policies they want to see implemented. I'm surprised you cannot articulate the ones you prefer over what these two are offering?
Why not?
We have armed insurgents in the streets burning down buildings and shooting police in cold blood and you're worried about how Trump talks?
Zero credibility.
I'm sorry. I look at more than policies. Because in the end, the POTUS is nothing without Congress. I love America. I don't love division. Time for BOTH parties to go to their timeout chairs.......at least for me.
A lot of people are going to vote off personalities. 'Merica
If I had to guess, 50% of voters don't know what either side stands for other than the behavior shown on TV. Some people love Trump being obnoxious. Others don't. It seems Trump strategy is to take that approach (basing on debate from yesterday) and try to be the Prez again.

This reminds me of Conor McGregor tactics.
A good portion of what you say here is true, primarily because the media only focuses on personalities. However once the elected Representatives get to D.C. they vote on p-o-l-i-c-y. So it's best to know what you're voting for.

True, I'd argue it's why we're so screwed up. No one is informed enough to know what works or why?
For instance why do so many folks think government run health care would work better and be more efficient not to mention less expensive than a market based system where health care consumers drive prices based on supply and demand from health care providers? (the way the rest of our free enterprise system operates)
No one can reasonably explain why they are ready to let government decide how they should make their personal health care choices.
Unreal.

If Trump had in mind going in that he would try to improve his standing with suburban women, I'm afraid he failed.
Some might say his emphasis on Law and Order in contrast to Biden was in the best interests of suburban women. But I think his interruptions and unbridled attacks obscured and overrode the message with college educated women.

Meh...."College educated" women want to make sure any President's policies keep their well paid husbands able to maintain the lifestyles they're living, keep what kids they decide not abort well fed and clothed, and keep roaming gangs of anarchists out of their well manicured neighborhoods smashing windows or destroying personal property.
I wish Trump would have referred to the document behind them on the set, the US Constitution.
Contrary to Biden's way of thinking, America doesn't need a giant government plan for every issue facing us.
Smart, free market solutions are almost always the best answer.
