That was certainly the worst of it, but it didn't get much better for him, he fumbled over a lot of his delivery. It was much harder for him though, he was using facts and figures while Trump was just saying whatever lie popped into his head.

Trumps replies seldom had any connection to the thread/question posed by moderator. he was simply waiting for his turn to ramble a gish gallop out.

Yeah, it reminded me a lot of the Carter/Reagan debate, only if Carter had a massive concussion.

And yet Trump still sounded more cognizant even if he was lying.

Because he didn't have to be careful to make sure he was right. He just said whatever anyway

I think that's the biggest danger with Trump. Even though he's less with it than Biden, what comes out of his mouth sounds more coherent if you're not concerned with the facts of the matter.

I was a bit concerned with Biden when he would say the wrong word or trail off, but at the end of the day it's less about who the president is and more about who they hire. I really wish the DNC had ran a different candidate.
