Spent 90 minutes last night watching the presidential debate. What a disaster.
Biden was shaky at best. He frequently drifted off topic. Trump just spewed lies and kept bringing every topic back to border issues.
Even The Onion chimed in on the disaster.
Fact-checking the candidates:
Trump claims “We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.” – FALSE
Trump claimed “Unemployment was better than now.” – FALSE
Trump claimed “The stock market did better under his administration than ever.” – FALSE
Biden claimed “he’s the only president this centuiry that didn’t have troops dying anywhere in the world.” – FALSE
Trump claimed “He did not refer to U.S. soldiers who were killed as suckers and losers.” – FALSE
Biden claimed “40% fewer people are crossing the border illegally, better than when Trump was in office.” – PARTIALLY TRUE
Trump claimed “Migrants coming to the U.S. are killing citizens at a level we’ve never seen before. ” – MISLEADING
Trump claimed “More people died under Biden (from COVID) than his administration.” – TRUE, but needed context.
Trump claimed “The former Virginia governor (a Democrat) supported killing babies.: – FALSE
Trump claimed “Biden wnet after his political oppenent in New York hush money case to damage him.” – FALSE
Trump claimed “he brought insulin prices down for seniors.” – MISLEADING
Well, there it is. I guess that we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you want a stumbling old man or a liar? Personally, I don’t like liars.
More tomorrow…
