Gotta say I kinda agree with CNN, here. This is a presidential debate. On a national stage. We're hoping to see someone emerge who can at least sound like and behave like a president, and get some idea of where their policies will take the country.
We already know Trump is a lying blowhard who mouths off constantly. Would've preferred it if Biden didn't let Trump get under his skin and was able to maintain his composure a little better. I think Trump is a giant piece of shit, but he's still the sitting president. Telling the president to shut up and calling him a clown shows a lack of decorum, even though Trump operates without decorum to begin with.
But I will say that I'm glad Biden stood up for himself and fired back. Just wish he chose his words a little more carefully. He should announce he'll only attend the next debate if Trump releases his taxes. We already know the next debate is going to be more of the same. May as well try to get something out of it.
Nah, Biden should only attend if Trump wears a shock collar so they can shut him the fuck up.
