4) my weak best guess is that hunter will be a large % of the debate, and I'm super uncertain about how that will end up

5) obv a good decision to cut off mics but also this will mean we learn less about the candidates as people

7) surprised trump keeps bringing up the vaccine -- he's whiffing on that one each time he says it's coming and then it doesn't though the personal anecdote helps

12) (I strongly suspect the answer is that the vaccine play is a bad one for Trump, it's just too transparently false.)

13) honestly I totally forgot about trump praising china on covid, yeah that's pretty inconsistent with what he's saying now

16) biden doing ok but not really hitting this one out of the park, prob underperforming what should be a strong point for him

17) trump pushing too far here, he has a decent point if he sticks to saying that biden wants to shut down more, the hyperbole just gives biden an easy response

18) trump mostly doing a good job on covid but slipping in a bunch of random jabs that seem pretty out of place

22) trump finally going in on hunter. I'm surprised he isn't being more specific there -- the vaguer he is the easier it is for biden to avoid

  • trump
    54.1%
  • biden
    35.4%
  • tie
    10.5%

28) I think Trump's response on NK might be pretty good here, and is very un-trump-like

29) honestly the health care part of the debate feels so 2016. Don't think it's changing minds.

30) that exchange over passing a stimulus bill went quite well for trump, and really should have been a loser for him

31) this reminds me of that
@TheOnion
segment where eventually all the people on the panel realized that what maximized ratings was just repeating "P.O. Box" over and over again

33) ok not sure what Trump was thinking with that "good", must have been queuing it up, but really didn't work

36) "I am the least racist person in this room" -- Trump Again, really think the hyperbole is not doing him any good here. His response was doing fine until that.

38) idk, maybe it's the right approach, but biden basically just repeating the world "jobs" over and over again here
