I have seen many other reactions to the debate that discussed some of what I am going to say, but none have centered on it. During the infamous 15 seconds, the camera showed Trump look over at Biden. He seems to have been in thought, likely preparing whatever he would say next (but who knows?) when he then genuinely noticed a pause and uncontrollably turned to see what was going on. Trump's expression made him look human. Made him look likable. Made him look normal. Made him look like we all think he really is—a man who will do anything to win (and many other things too), but a man who is very aware that he is putting on a show. Perhaps he is a horse in a department store, as I once read him described, but more than that too. Biden, on the other hand, did not ever have a redeemable moment. Oh, and I still can't stand teachers. (See EdD Jill's ridiculous encouragement clip.) These people are a joke. Yes, yes. I know she meant "answered every question" as opposed to "dodged" every question in favor of repeating rehearsed talking points, and she did not mean "competition award". But the man failed with every breath and certainly didn't need anyone lying to him, let alone in such pandering fashion. | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
