Maybe challenge him to a pushup contest.

In all seriousness, I'm not saying there's anything he could've done about it that was really within his skill set or temperament to do. I think if anything the sympathy angle seems to be helping him somewhat where as the bullying is backfiring on Trump.

Especially the part where Biden brought up his dead son and Trump responded by **** talking Hunter again. Really the Hunter stuff should've worked in Trump's favor of he wasn't such a domineering prick about it.

As far as actual content the format didn't allow the arguments to get into much detail or substance so there really wasn't anything to see in that regard. Basically Trump tried to associate Biden with the left and Biden did a good job avoiding that association.

Yes it's almost like the recent crime spike has has nothing to do with who happens to be in power locally and more to do with the pandemic, the massive unemployment and the racial unrest. Obviously most of it happens in "Democrat run cities" since most actual cities are run by Democrats. That was basically Wallace's point imo.
