    I could only make it like five minutes, but this is a great summary by the AP:

    In first half hour of debate, a raspy Biden has delivered rambling answers that sometimes trail off as he defends his policies and record.

    Trump has countered with falsehoods on issues including the economy, abortion and NATO members’ defense spending.

    The two have also exchanged deeply personal attacks.

    Edit:

    Biden was talking about “saving Israel” too. Despite the vast majority pissed at how he’s handling it.

    The conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is an especially vulnerable spot for Biden. With only 26% of U.S. adults approving of his handling of the issue, it’s well below his overall approval rating (39%). In the latest AP-NORC poll, nearly 6 in 10 Democrats disapprove of his approach to the conflict.

    He’s completely out of touch with what voters want. I have zero idea how anyone could think risking trump as president is worth giving an 82 year old we don’t want another term in office.

    Why are we running someone Dem voters actually want?

    That 26% of people that approve of what he’s doing with Israel is all US adults, including trump supporters. It’s not even 26% of Dems…
