Undecided on candidate yeah. But many that are on the fence about voting at all

Voting for Trump in my county is like yelling in the wind basically. Hillary beat Don by 210k votes last time around. It's quite possibly going to be an even bigger margin this time.

Sad!!

Don't you have 211K dead people you can do ballots for? Come on man! Get out the deceased vote!

I thought Trump "won", whatever that means, because despite @Tequilla's misconceptions, nobody was going to be swayed by either man 12 days prior to the election. Biden looked older than he ever has.

With the theatrics cut down due to the mic muting (which helped Trump because it prevented him from caving in to his worst impulses), both frankly looked awful when they were discussing actual policy. Neither man could string together a two minute segment without getting distracted and rambling off onto some other tangent.

To your point, Trump doesn't need to eloquently speak on policy. Pence can do that.

Trump is the President because of his attack, attack, attack mindset.

So much this. Joe needs people to turn out for him. If parts of his base erode like the inner city black vote or the radical left he's toast.

1994 crime bill and super predators probably just got Googled a lot.

Joe just flip flopped on fracking again.

It won't flip votes but it will discourage voters he needs to turn up en masse.

Joe did everything possible last night to keep the base home. From blaming Obama to shitting on AOC Plus 3 and the Green New Deal which he is against or for depending on the day

You're right that that ends up being the case, and frankly Biden/Harris can make the same argument. And maybe I'm old fashioned, but I prefer my candidates for the most important office in the world to be able to at least marginally articulate the various policies they're putting forward. And from my grading, both guys fell well short of that already low bar. But it's been obvious for awhile that policy coherence is not a huge piece of criteria for voters, so my grading doesn't really mean shit.

The left is convinced Biden won and Trump only lies

The modern left is full of idiots.

They’re not idiots, their intelligence is drowned out by fear and groupthink

They are the “good germans”

The modern left has three flavors:

1. Affluent white guilt cocktail party libs
2. All about the feels/mean orange man/save the world naive fucks
3. Radicals

Problem is 1 and 2 are so deep into their shit, they can't see they are being played by Group 3.

That's actually a really good cut at the categories.

Eh, somewhat disagree. That's a fair description of Biden all night save for one or two points. Trump was much more articulate. Yeah, he wanders into the "I'm hearing" and "the most beautiful [fill in the blank]". Of course, neither has any specifics on healthcare because it remains one of our most intractible issues as a country.

But overall Trump came off much better. When he tones down just a couple of notches it does him so many favors. He's confident in what he's about to say and he just says it. Much better on his feet too.

Agree nobody's changing votes at this 11th hour; but Trump came off more put together. Biden is an unmitigated disaster as a candidate.
