      Much of the reaction to this debate - not the words, but the candidates - depends on whether bullying works. In 2012, Biden beat Ryan by bullying, shouting down fact & reason. Tonight, Trump is bullying. Will it work just as well?

      Now, Trump pivots in the same answer to law and order. He's making two solid points, but in a seriously contradictory way.

      The law enforcement issues really cut both ways for both of these guys, which is why you get Biden defending cops.

          In Biden's case, his instincts are pro-law enforcement, pro-cops. But his base is pulling the other way.

          Biden can't defend left-wing extremism on critical race theory in diversity training, which many corporate employees have been subjected to, so he just flatly denies it exists.

          There are areas Biden is prepared to engage on, but when you get him on anything uncomfortable, he just goes to bald-faced denial.

          Wallace asks Biden if he has talked to Democratic governors or mayors. Biden says he's out of office. So much for being the party.

          Wallace asks Trump to condemn white supremacist groups, Proud Boys. Trump volunteers to condemn, but refuses to concede premise that they're a major source of the street violence. Biden insists that Antifa doesn't exist, it's just an idea.

          Trump's answer on condemning white supremacists was not bad (compared to how he talked about the Klan 4 years ago), but he really should have taken the political opportunity to deliver it in a clean soundbite.

          I understand why Trump feels that the various efforts to undermine the transition to Trump were a rejection of the 2016 election, but in a debate, the argument does not play well when it's just a string of buzzwords.
