I didn’t see it because I was at a family memorial but even seeing the shorts was, as expected. What an embarrassment for Americans. The West is certainly dead. It’s just not buried as yet.

After reading James' summary and warnings, and the many great assessment from preceding comments, all I need to say is:

AMEN

and I'm not a churchgoer.

The expression on Jo Biden's face says: "What am I doing here?"

I'm still incredulous that out of a country of 333+ million this is the best they can do for contenders for the top job. A man who's obviously losing his mind, and the other who is only capable of making expansive statements with dubious foundation.

The only thing we can say for certain is that they don't like each other!

Sadness is the best description. That America could still vote for Biden 😥 if you missed it, there are lots of portions of it on X.

I hope the same Sydney bookie who had 1000 to1 against Donald winning the 2016 puts up the same odds again as I can spare $200 to wager on the Donald,when last time I couldnt.

So true James, this is scary on so many levels.

told our daughter who's on a break from uni, to come watch it with us. Why she asked, because this could change the future of America and the world, and your life. she was a debater and tutors in debating now. Biden was incoherent to me many times and that glassy eyed and stiff wooden body along with his weird mumbling, swallowing diction, was a lot to cope with. Trump should of attacked less and spoken about his plans more. They were both pathetic when golf became the focus. As if anyone in America cares about who's got the better handicap. At least Trump after a while said let's stop being childish.

Overall Trump was vibrant and clear and kept his cool. Alas, they'll probably try assassinate him now . may God protect him

Agreed James,

It was Trumps opportunity to behave like statesman but he too often trivialised the debate. Having said that however, he kept his cool and was clearly the only one of the two capable of leading the USA. With all his moral and character flaws he still champions Christian foundations. The world, not just the USA needs his strong leadership style.

The Democrats need to move quickly on a new candidate

Our perception of trivialisation is coloured by the way our pollies do debates. That’s the American way. Sniping at each other.

I think the rules helped Trump. The rules saved him from himself!!!! 😬

Without question:

…the ironic point is that the debate structure, designed by the Democrats so as to avoid Biden being under the pump, played straight to Trump.

It backfired massively because Trump didn’t get to play the loud aggressive bully talking over Biden the whole time like he did in 2020.

I get the impression you’re not a fan of Trump. I believe strongly that he is the only one fit to turn things around not only for America but the rest of the world. He learnt so much from his first term and won’t make the same mistakes twice. His biggest problem was trusting the corrupt hacks in the administration he inherited. Second time around he has had time to organise a very different environment, one that will allow him a far better chance to succeed. My only other wish is that Trump approaches RFK jr to be a part of that environment. These two men if they could work together through the realisation that America and the world needs them to, would go down in history as turning point like no other 🙏🏾

I like Trump. I hope to God he wins.

But let’s not pretend he isn’t a highly flawed candidate … not his fault, he’s a product of the culture.

Best case scenario Trump wins, spills a lot of blood (figuratively) sorting out the disaster Obama-Biden have left, and the President after Trump is able to unite the country.

It’s going to be a rough few years whatever happens

How sad, I missed it, we had our old codgers meeting today which was God glorifying. Is it possible to watch it somewhere?

Give it a few days it will be on YouTube.

Just watch Sky News tonight. Not much else will be talked about would be my guess.

Alarming that the most important political job in the world is held by a senile old man.

We even got told by a TV commentator this afternoon that President Obama asked Jill Biden 4 years ago not to let him run.

The 12 adults of the Biden crime family have all made lots of money out of Joe's positions the last few years.

Good at last, that despite the years of lies from Democrate media about great Joe is, it is now clear that he is too incompetent to run again.

The leaders of the Democrate party are responsible for picking Joe and the laughing moron Vice President. Their stupidity is now clear for all to see. 330 million people and this is the best 2 candidates they could find to stand.

It’s been O’Biden all along. Obama is a grub. Jill is a disgraceful wannabe. This whole sad saga is elder abuse.

I had to laugh when Biden had a go at Donald for his "indiscretions " with "paid ladies " when it was generally known that Bill Clinton was caught lying about Monica Whats her name , JFK used Marylin Monroe as a toy and favour to cronies and LBJ had a problem with keeping it in his pants. I dont give a stuff about these blokes and what they do but poor old Sleepy Joe shoulnt bring the subject into national debate. And the rumours persist about Barak and his toy boys .
