   This #PresidentialDebate is a catastrophe for #Biden. And I say that as someone who desperately wants him to win. Holy shit. #USPol #politics

     #Trump is lying confidently, and #Biden is telling the truth stumblingly. Biden is making malapropisms all over the place. He even lost his train of thought at least once (maybe more than once, I stopped watching because I couldn't bear it).
     The optics are ALL THAT MATTER in this debate. Trump sounds presidential. Biden sounds like a doddering old man.
     It's a fucking disaster. And I say that as someone who 100% believes Biden is and will be a good president.

     Here's my closing statement:
     I was so sure #Biden would have an arsenal of zingers ready to go and fire them mercilessly at #Trump the whole time.
     Biden is GOOD at zingers.
     Instead, #Trump got in more zingers, Biden made mistakes throughout (including during his REHEARSED CLOSING STATEMENT), and on top of everything else Biden sounds sick.
     So many strategic blunders.
     The only thing Biden did right is have the debate in June so people have time to forget it.

     Every word Trump is saying is a lie and it's all most people will hear because the debate rules don't let CNN fact-check.

     Now I understand why having the debates early and not following the presidential debate commission rules was a good strategic move for #Biden: he needs to get the debates out of the way early so people can forget about them before the election.
     Yikes.
