The debate: honest to fuck, Trump looked composed and almost presidential next to Joe in that debate.

I swear that my wife practically wanted to divorce me for saying this right after. I wouldn’t vote for him with a gun to my head but watching that debate, the Trump on stage that night was the President I’d want other world powers to wrangle with.

Yes, but I'm more concerned with what he'll do to us. Fuck other countries

So you would want the president of the US to make up obvious lies and name call like a child when dealing with other world powers? Just go up there and sniff his own farts at the UN meeting or whatever?

I know Biden did poorly, but that doesn't mean we have to act like Trump did well. Any compent politician would have have made him look stupid in that debate, and the same would happen on the world stage.

With no outside context, using just the performances of the two candidates in that debate, one looked less senile than the other. That's all they're saying. Doesn't make the Toupee a good choice, just the less worse one (again, based only on the performance in that debate and ignoring everything else).

Shame that there are so few competent politicians.

There's tons of fantastic politicians, they're just all local.
