      This post truth thing is a real problem because the average person does not bother checking facts. What they notice is some division, controversy etc. not that one person is lying. Also any moron can see that Biden is old.

      Someone with simple answers wins these debates. Notice how Biden says the right things all the time but he won’t reach people like this.

        Are you talking about during the debate? “We finally beat Medicare!” ain’t that.

        And if you think Biden said the right things about the rail strike or protests around the weapon shipments to Israel you’re living in some kind of grand delusion that excludes millions of people you’re depending on to get Biden re-elected.

      Not necessarily.

      Perhaps 20 years ago Biden WorldCom acquitted himself better.

      That said Trumps performance is a well established debate strategy called a gish gallop - just say dozens of lies and your opponent won’t be able to rebut them all. If they try, they won’t have time for their own points.
