Ninety minutes is a lifetime in politics these days – and Wednesday's reality TV show let us know that it was 90 minutes of our lifetimes we will never get back. A horrible, disastrous, useless session that left viewers utterly disappointed – the worst debate in modern American history.
Biden struggled under the onslaught – to get heard, to keep focused on issues as Trump changed the subject – and was out-talked. Biden could not proceed for more than 30 seconds without Trump interrupting. The projected African American vote for Biden will be greater than Clinton's in 2016 – but lower than Obama's in 2012.
What I see here is a bully a narcissist actually and I think the other one was shocked by his behaviour. I’m sorry for America at moment. Such a great country too.
A once great, well respected country....now the laughing stock of the world, both men childish, no leadership here... !
America on the precipice of self combustion. Australia like Europe will need new friends if Trump is re elected.
Who wrote this crap, Vanstone?
Calling B.S. what I saw was an out of control vile rude bully that couldn't debate if his life depended on it. Read the stats provided this morning, Biden won.
Joe does not ..........this seems to be it
The moderator was out of his depth or paid to loose control. Why was a mute button not used to give each candidate a chance to speak with out interruptions. Disgraceful performance by Trump the bully

Now, THIS is fake news 🤮
I question your judgement.
I’ve watched the debate twice now( I know sad right). How anyone thought Trump won anything out of that is bizarre in the extreme. How did he hurt Biden? By using the memory of his dead son to slander the living one? It was not a great evening for Trump at all.
Whoever wrote this headline must’ve been more coked up than Don Jr.
Thanks Rupert, but those who watched what went down saw hot air balloon trump put his white supremacist proud boys on stand by if he doesn’t get the election result he wants. Probably to avoid jail. Joe Biden was a gentleman and spoke accordingly. Nothing wrong with that.
Biden lies
Biden lies
I assume you mean personally? As no way you can say he didn't win the debate and trump came over as even worse than some people thought.
Really ! ! THE AGE. Reported Trump incoherent and rude. Reported Biden appeared as a normal person. Tabloid B,S. I suspect.
Is Lisa Simpson or Leslie Knope available as potential alternatives? TheSimpsons parksandrecreation
Says the Rabid Rupert Right
The worst because Trump won?
Channel nines ‘the age’ descending into gutter shite tabloidism
Trump made a fool of himself, acting like a spoilt child. Stay strong America TrumpMeltdown
I’m sure you meant to report that in a broadcast to the world, the President of the USA refused to condemn white supremacy.
Pugnacious in the extreme - is that a new way is saying rude, interrupting, childish, pathetic and full of sh*t? Asking for a friend
Being louder doesn't make you right. Trump was a disgrace.
000 Police Fire Ambulance? Police Go ahead where do you need the police The Age. They all must be on drugs. ... sad. Now Murdoch Lite.
WTF were you watching? Joe Biden came out of that looking the stronger, more level headed and compassionate leader. Trump looked like a bully who can’t handle tough questions and can do nothing but lie and bluster. BidensUnitingUS Debate2020 BidenWon
There was only one part of the debate that proved that Trump is the most dangerous leader on the planet. HE REFUSED TO DENOUNCE THE PROUD BOYS. He proved that he is a complete and an utter racist.
Too much information Too dark
Chris Wallace. What is your role in the most important debate!? Does CCP have Wallace’s sex tape as well? Like the one of the hunter Biden, raping n abusing Chinese kid CCP provided as a sex tool? More truth to come! Biden family belongs to hell! onlytruthwins bidenrapist
It was a circus - an embarrassment for the US. Totally pathetic.
Trump belongs in the gutter not in the Oval office absolutely disgraceful thug that spees out BS as fast as ppl of the US should be very wortied about this maniac the lying the BS the racism and greed is incredible
Here for the ratio
Read the now published Poll results from tonight’s Presidential Debate! Across the board, President Trump won by an average 85% to 15%! Those 15% needs to urgently undergo a full and complete psychiatric assessment!
Donald Trump was on drugs and wearing an ear piece as well as his usualy fake hair piece.
Biden did Biden. Trump was an alien gas bag on steroids.
Will you shut up, man , you miss it every time- though your white supremacy agenda speaking loud as per usual! willyoushutupman2020
LoL theage, still licking your wounds from 4 years ago
Did Rupert tell you to write this rubbish
That's horrible judgement, I worry for your profession.
If there was EVER any doubt that the US is on the wane then look no further than this “debate”.
😂 😂 😂 what rubbish!
'pugnacious' is not how one should describe someone who would not condemn white supremacy. I'm so sad and embarrassed at where has ended up and hope Gay_Alcorn can turn things around.
The Age thinks you win a debate by being a raging lunatic arrogant bully. Biden was composed, smart and didn't engage with the moron.
Pugnacious. Accurate description. trump is foul.
Biden was wearing a wire
Oh C'mon nobody won anything, it was a shit show and a national embarrassment
More confirmation, if needed, that The Age as a newspaper is now a pile of 💩. Was the person who wrote this even watching? I’m an ex-subscriber, politically centrist, who won’t go back as even a reader now.
Watch the entire debate demeaning or the real estate agent tactics jamb the foot in door & never give up. bully badger keep up attack until RUMP has demeaned the US Presidents Status
Bruce needs to spend some time in social media to find out the truths - Trump’s loyal fans were embarrassed by Trump’s performance & they’re blaming & attacking Chris Wallace as Liberal media agent in Foxnews. If Bruce is too old for social media, perhaps he could get help. 😁
You must have been watching a different debate
You were watching a different debate to the rest of us. Bag of wind irrational rants with no basis of truth or fact by trump. Biden gave him a couple of back handers on the way through. trump is in a tail spin, looked rudy red angry and frustrated. poor showing
Did you just watch the highlights? That isn't even remotely correct.
Decency will often struggle to find the words in order to combat so much arrogance.
Biden was surprisingly coherent, and not what I, or many expected I’m sure. Trump has been on the road everyday, hosting peaceful protests in front of hundreds of thousands for weeks. There’s no way JoeBiden could do what realDonaldTrump has been doing this past 5 months
Biden played the lying game. Trump talks facts.

Trump ‘dragged Joe Biden into the gutter with him’ in first presidential debate | Sky News AustraliaUS President Donald Trump managed to “drag” rival Joe Biden “into the gutter with him” during the first presidential debate according to Daily Telegraph columnist Miranda Devine.\n\nIn the fiery brawl of words in Cleveland, Ohio, the two presidential candidates sniped each other’s intelligence.\n\n“A lot of people died, and a lot more are going to die unless he gets a lot smarter,” Mr Biden said.\n\nPresident Trump replied asking “did you use the word smart?”\n\n“You said you went to Delaware State, but you forgot the name of your college,” President Trump said.\n\n“You didn’t go to Delaware State, you graduated either the lowest or almost the lowest in your class – don’t ever use the word smart with me – don’t ever use that word.\n\n“There’s nothing smart about you, Joe, 47 years you’ve done nothing.” \t\n \nMs Devine said Mr Biden would be judged the winner because he didn’t “fall off the stage” despite a “strangely nasty” and “low energy” performance.\n\n“Everybody had said the guy was going to lose his train of thought, as we’ve seen in recent months, and he managed it hold it together,” Ms Devine said.\n\n“Even though a lot of what he said didn’t really make sense, he didn’t have those brain fades that we’re used to with him.” realDonaldTrump JoeBiden mirandadevine yeah nah bullshit. realDonaldTrump JoeBiden mirandadevine You lot are deluded realDonaldTrump JoeBiden mirandadevine Biden sounded like an old man trying to control his temper!

‘Will you shut up man’: Trump and Biden get personal in first debate | Sky News AustraliaThe first US presidential debate has quickly turned ugly with Joe Biden asking Donald Trump to “shut up man”.\n\nPresident Trump tried to command the stage from the beginning of the debate by interrupting his rival to make his point clear. \n\nPresident Trump claimed Biden will capitulate to the Left of his party on healthcare, arguing 'Joe, you agreed with Bernie Sanders, who is far left, on the manifesto, we call it, and that gives you socialised medicine'.\n\n'Look, hey. I'm not going to listen to him. The fact of the matter is, I beat Bernie Sanders,' Biden said.\n\nBiden however lost his patience with the president after being repeatedly interrupted by him during Tuesday night’s debate.\n\n“Would you shut up, man?” the former vice president told Trump.\n\nBiden then claimed the debate-which was only 20 minutes in- was “so un-presidential”.\n\n'That was a productive segment, wasn't it? Keep yapping man.'\n\nHillary Clinton has even taken to Twitter to admit she would have loved to tell Donald Trump to “shut up” in her 2016 debate against the president.\n\n “Will you shut up, man' is the line of the night. I feel so sorry for Hillary right now because I’m positive she wanted to say that and couldn’t,” Tweeted Jill Filipovic.\n\nMs Clinton responded saying “you have no idea”.\n JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Neither of them is a proper statesman. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Trump should have been a little less interrupting when Biden spoke, just so Biden could fall over into his usual display of not making sense! I still go for Trump though! JoeBiden realDonaldTrump Asking to shut up? More like losing his temper and emotions and thus showing his real personality.

Trump criticises Hunter Biden over 'dishonourable military discharge, cocaine abuse, shady foreign dealings' | Sky News AustraliaUS President Trump has accused Joe Biden's son Hunter of being 'thrown out of the military' and making 'a fortune' in foreign business deals afforded him by a job only made available because his father was the vice president.\n\nMr Trump said Hunter was 'dishonourably discharged for cocaine use' and didn't have a job until Joe Biden became VP.\n\n'He made a fortune in China, in Ukraine, in Moscow and various other places and he didn't have a job,' Mr Trump said. \n\nMr Biden denied President Trump's accusations, stating he was 'proud' of his son for overcoming his drug addiction.\n\nMr Trump said he deserved another four years in office because 'there has never been an administration or president who has done more' than he had 'in a period of three-and-a-half years' despite 'the impeachment hoax'.\n\n'Despite going through all these things where I had to fight both flanks behind me and above, there has not been an administration that's done what I've done,' he said.\n\n'Before COVID came in, the greatest economy in history, the lowest unemployment numbers, everything was going well. \n\n'Unity was going to happen - but we got hit and we're rebuilding it.'\n\nDemocratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said 'under this president we've become, weaker, poorer, sicker and more divided' as he attempted to defend why he deserved to become the president.\n\n'When we were in office, there was 15 per cent less violence than what we've got today, under his watch,' Mr Biden said.\n\n JoeBiden Facts are not accusations! Fact check JoeBiden BoneSpursTrump says what JoeBiden Well........yeah that’s what happened. Statement of fact

Biden receives 'no support' from law enforcement: Trump | Sky News AustraliaPresident Donald Trump says Joe Biden is receiving zero support from the nation's law enforcement groups. \n\nWhen pressured to name a single law enforcement group providing support for him, Mr Biden refused to answer, saying “we don’t have time”. \n\nThe pair were asked for the meaning of the term “reimagining the police”, which was used by a joint Biden-Sanders taskforce.\n\nIn his response, Mr Biden said he was “totally opposed to defunding the police officer”. \n\nHe pointed to Mr Trump as the “only one” who was looking to defund law enforcement. \n\n“In his budget calls for a $400 million cut in local law enforcement assistance.” \n\nDespite claiming “I am the Democratic Party”, Mr Biden said he had no authority to call the Democratic mayor and governor of Portland and Oregon to request they end the ongoing riots. \n\n“I don't hold public office now. I am a former Vice-President,” he said. \n\nMr Biden said the local authorities were well equipped to handle the violence, however, the president’s involvement was making the situation worse. \n\n“They can, in fact, take care of it if he'd stay out of the way,' he said. \n\n“The point is that is why he keeps trying to rile everything up. He doesn't want to calm things down.\n\n“He just pours gasoline in the fire constantly, every single solitary time.' \n\n realDonaldTrump JoeBiden realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Of course, he supports 1. Defund police 2. Blow up the neighbourhood 3. Stealing and vandalism Debates2020 realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Could that be because so many police officer associations are refusing to concede there is a problem with racist policing?

Biden and Trump clash on the topic of racial inequality | Sky News AustraliaDemocratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden says “there is systemic injustice” in the United States which is a significant issue in areas such as education, the workplace and law enforcement.\n\nConsidering the issue of racial inequality in the first Presidential debate, Mr Biden was asked to respond to the decision of the grand jury not to charge any of the police officers involved in the Breonna Taylor case with homicide.\n\n“There are some bad apples and they have to be sorted out, and held accountable,” Mr Biden said but conceded the “vast majority of police officers are good, honest, decent and honourable men and women”.\n\n“As President of the United States, I will call together an entire group of people at the White House, everyone from the civil rights groups to the police officers, the police chiefs, and we're going to work this out,' he said.\n\nAlso speaking on the topic of race, President trump said he ordered federal agencies to end racial sensitivity training “because it was racist”.\n\n“I ended it because a lot of people were complaining that they were asked to do things that were absolutely insane, that it was a radical revolution that was taking place in our military, in our schools, all over the place”.\n\n“We were paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars to teach very bad ideas and frankly very sick ideas, and really they were teaching people to hate our country.'\n\nHowever, Joe Biden countered the President’s claims saying “the fact is that there is racial insensitivity. People have to be made aware of what other people feel like, what insults them, what is demeaning to them.”\n JoeBiden That's why TheDemocrats need to go urgently JoeBiden Democrats is on the way to the hell because the CCP already sent the HARD DRIVE with 3T corrupted evidences to the Justice. Those CCP’s running dog like Biden have completely betrayed Americans.
