Dana Bash: “that was a shitshow”

The President of the United States said our national elections are corrupt and the results can’t be trusted, refused to condemn white supremacy and told a racist group to “stand by.” Fade to black. #Debates2020

.@wolfblitzer just said he wouldn't be surprised if this is the last debate. I agree. No reason for @JoeBiden to do this again.

Having watched this disgrace tonight, I just want to say I'm proud to have been Never Trump from the beginning, I'm proud to be Never Trump today, and I'll be proud to remain Never Trump as long as necessary–hopefully for only five more weeks.

Biden won going away. And another million women decided never to vote R again. Trump was his usual unhinged bully. Truly frightful. Mostly however this was a disastrous, incoherent debate, one Wallace should be ashamed to have "moderated."

This is a disgrace, a low point in American debate history. There is no reason, not one, that Joe Biden should participate in another debate.

Someone in our Evensong group said after prayers "there is nothing Biden Could do or say tonight that would make me not vote for him" and…

..that is true and I hope fervently it is the only time in my life that is true.

The question for Joe Biden at tonight's presidential debate is as much psychological as political: What’s the best way to confront an opponent who doesn’t play by the rules?https://t.co/TZiaydcDM6

— The New York Times (@nytimes) September 29, 2020

How much has the elite political media learned since 2016? The fact is that Trump was "extraordinarily effective" against Hillary Clinton because the people who should have called him out for the half-mad liar he is failed to do so. https://t.co/gN2jp11pr7

Pennsylvania law requires anyone participating in partisan political activity to stand 10 feet distant from the polling place. I know it's boring to keep pointing out all the ways that President Trump wants to break the law, but here's another. https://t.co/8UbOlTj3dA

Four years after Russia interfered in the 2016 election, we’re seeing the worst disinformation coming from inside the US rather than from a foreign adversary. Russia, and others, can now sit back and simply amplify. See tonight’s trove of baseless conspiracies.

Certainly looks like Trump’s DNI Ratcliffe is carrying out a political errand (and botching the job).

— EDF (@EnvDefenseFund) September 29, 2020

Terrible not to include climate change in tonight’s debate, given that the country is blanketed in smoke from wildfires in the West, and the South is still bailing out from giant hurricanes. The climate crisis is urgent and demonstrable.

Chris Wallace needs to ask about climate.
