![[image loading]](https://fivethirtyeight.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/image-6.png?w=575) From 538's coverage there was this tracker which aggregated sentiment about both candidates. General sentiment about both candidates dropped off sharply aft the beginning of the debate, and I guess Biden had a couple more positive bumps than Trump, but it was as much a condemnation of the debate format and shitshow than the candidatest themselves. As far as my opinion on the debate itself, Biden isn't as sharp as he was, but he's good enough. I think it solidifies the opinions of leaning Bidens that he's not going to keel over in the first months of office. I have no clue if Trumps ranting plays well with his base, but I guess that kind of incivility resonates. What we saw in any of the previous debates this year as far as chaos goes pretty much doesn't compare to this. | ||

Why can't a presidential debate be focused on the content of ideas and ability to express oneself, like a normal debate, instead of focusing on which one can shout everyone down the most? Sounds like the best way to see them for who they are in my book. Being an obnoxious asshole who doesn't let other people speak does reveal something about a man, but it's probably something best kept a secret. | ||

Exactly, which is why his choice to act in such a manner revealed more about character than him pretending to be civil would. It's his right to make a fool of himself, let them say what they want. | ||

I was very depressed at how fumbling Biden seemed, it was really his time to reveal something. I wish we had someone young and sharp rather than this appeal to going back to pre-Trump business as usual. But sadly this is the choice we get because Trump has to go. | ||

Part of me thinks each side should have a button which mutes opposition for up to 20 seconds, with 3 charges. Would be hilarious, and strategic use of the mute button to either interrupt the opponent while they're making a point, or shutting them up to get your point across could be a fun change. | ||

Trump had the memorable bad moments, Biden had the memorable lines and better close. If drone is right and this was for the 8% I cant imagine what Trump would have done to impress them. He did lock down the far right white supremacist vote with the shout out though. Which is barely anybody. This past weekend in Portland, the proud boys were apparently going to show up with “10K” strong and terrorize Portland. Only 200 or so showed up, from across the country mind you, multiple of them got arrested, and/or fined. The counter protests were in the thousands. Their little “attack” on Portland literally fizzled immediately. | ||

As with all good things, you will mainly miss them when they are gone. Conversely you are ok with all that and saying "WORTH IT". Well, let's keep your fingers crossed Nov. 3rd will show a clear path forward. | ||
