Joe is getting pretty far off his safe talking points on policy
He's taking Trump's baits and giving him soundbytes
I think this might be the biggest story coming out of tonight. Biden is on record admitting that he wants to get rid of the oil industry, and that he wants to grant full amnesty for all illegal aliens.
Coupled with Trump's very adequate and sane performance, this should definitely stop the bottom from falling out any further for Trump or Republicans. In fact, I expect the race to tighten somewhat until election day.
Overall, I would rate tonight as a win for Trump, albeit not by a huge margin. He got his zingers in, and he had to debate against a biased moderator and loaded questions. But he also had several weak moments, particularly on his taxes/Wall Street, and on climate change. Biden was annoying when he pandered like a typical swamp demon, but so was Trump when he deflected and rambled aimlessly on issues where he didnt have good arguments on the substance.
I dont think that this debate will shift a lot of people's opinion, but it should reassure wavering conservatives and cause them to come home to the GOP in the end.
