This poll is now closed (poll closed on 2 Oct 2020).

My thoughts:

Biden proved he could take a punch and land a few. Even in a rigged fight with the ref on his side, he had to show he was not mentally challenged. He's no match for thinking on his feet compared to Trump, but few are. Not losing this mental challenge was probably a win even if Trump's tactics will cause him to lose some support from the more radical part of his party.

Trump won points by getting Biden to throw his party under the bus and claim HE is THE Democratic party and he's not a Greenie Meanie. That won't sit well here where the young are pissed they don't have a better choice so it was probably damned effective for Trump in swing states to get those same types of voters to stay home since they don't have Bernie, Liz or AOC to vote for... but watch out for next election if Trump wins another four years.

Moderator Chris Wallace lost control. Moderators need a "Mute Button" to shut the microphones for BOTH candidates and make it clear their words won't get to TV until order is restored. Then they need some sort of "assistance" from representatives from both parties to assure they remain neutral as Wallace clearly let his registered Democratic bias show through under pressure.

Look who's tied for 4th in the latest issue!
