RedState Live Blogs the First 2020 Presidential Debate

Goodnight, America! Thanks so much for tuning in with us!

LOL, pretty much!

Brad Slager:

Matthew Dowd - The Dems could put an Avengers action figure up and Trump will lose because not EVERYTHING is perfect.

So, Matthew Dowd says that the bar for Trump was that he had to convince Americans that everything in the country is going great. He didn't. So, Biden wins the debate. What?! LOL

Joe Biden "got a little too hot towards the end." - ABC News panelist

Astute observation. Trump is more aptly long-winded; he never runs out of gas. Biden is like a small balloon deflating. Trump being quick on the draw keeps the balloon from farting around the room and then landing on a house plant.

Nick Arama:

 I think Trump is incredibly quick. Almost too quick sometimes. He should have let Biden talk some of the times he cut him off, especially as he appeared to be fading.

An ABC News panelist just tried to spin Trump's answer on "radicals on the Right," saying that he told the Proud Boys to "stand by." Disgraceful. It was obvious he meant "stand down," which he'd already said.

Okay, thanks, everyone, for tuning in tonight. Next time, should there be one, we will have comments enabled and you will be able to participate, too.

Yeah, that bothered me for sure.

He had the whole one-eye-bigger-than-the-other-eye going. Very distracting.

 Yeah, he's going to pull out of the second one saying that Trump "talks over me" 

Even during today's program, Rush Limbaugh stood by his prediction that Biden would be a no-show. I don't think he'll do a second one, though.

Streiff :

Does Biden show up for the next one? I put the chances at less than 50-50

 Do you think that people could see enough of how bad Biden's condition is? 

The people calling for him not to show up indicates they don't think he can go the distance again

Wallace was so ineffectual that Joe Rogan has risen on the moderator prospect list after all.

 But we knew that before.

Does Biden show up for the next one? I put the chances at less than 50-50

MSM will declare it a win for Joe because he didn't fall over. 

He was sluring almost right from the beginning

Streiff :

by the end, Biden was barely able to stand. Not a good omen for him if he's elected
