All Trump Had To Do Is What Biden Had To Do In The First Debate

He couldn’t prove he’s not a weak and sick man either…

Instead, he did prove he's what everybody’s been saying he is.

In Biden’s case, it was that he’s senile. In Trump’s case, that he’s completely in thrall to ultra conservative anti-abortion zealots and fascist dictators, and still caught up in revising the results of 2020 above all else.

He didn’t do or say anything to prove any of that’s not true. In fact, he confirmed it and underlined it. With a Sharpie.

It’s that simple.

• He refused to commit to vetoing a national abortion ban, should it come to pass.
• He praised a fascist dictator by name, for praising him.
• And he continued to lie and say he won in 2020 for the same old reason. In a nutshell: “I won because how could I possibly have lost?”
• He also said immigrants are eating people’s cats.

Punches didn’t land: when Trump said Vice President Harris would take away Americans’ guns, she adeptly let it slip that she owns a gun. An adtroit move that I’m sure right wing media will be all over for days. But for the moment, really pulled the rug out from under Trump and made “same old” look just old.
