1st 2020 Presidential Debate Response

 The first Presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Biden recently concluded. The debate was moderated by Chris Wallace. First off, I caught Trump and Biden exchanging pleasantries right before the debate on stage. But other than that, they were not pleasant with each other. I felt Biden was a bit more cordial, but still very blunt.

Also, I felt like Biden held the better position at the end of the debate. In terms of being a debater. However, I felt like Trump made a larger impact on screen due to him being a former reality TV host and knowing how to rally a crowd. I also have to say, I think Hillary Clinton did a better job debating Trump than Biden did. Still I felt Biden held his ground well and preformed better in the debate. He stayed relevant to the topic more often and he did not need to resort to lies to support his arguments.

Trump failed to denounce white supremacy and white supremacists groups during the debate and frequently interrupted Biden. Meanwhile, Biden did interrupt Trump, but not as much. And Biden did not need to denounce any radical groups. Biden did call out antifa, but only to say its a idea, because antifa is anti-fascist, not really controversial.

Frequently they did get off topic, especially with the first question which was supposed to be about the Supreme Court Vacancy which quickly devolved into a debate on health care.With the other topics and questions, I do think they did better at staying on topic.

I also believe that this debate was untimely a failure for both candidates and the candidates only made a positive impression on those already committed to voting for them. I think any undecided voters they may now be more confused than they were at the start of the debate. If I have to declare I winner, I would give Biden a light lead. And if I were to give them a grade, Trump gets a 5/10 and Biden gets a 5.1/10

    Biden successfully defended himself against Trump, but he did not make an successfully counterattacks though. However, Biden had some strong probing attacks against Trump, but they weren't enough. I expect Harris to give a very strong performance against Pence next week.

    Update: it's the Sunday following the debate and polls indicate that besides most Americans being annoyed; that Bidem won the debate. Analysts say that Boden had everything to lose and he did not lose anything.

In the Star Wars Rebels Episode Twin Suns, Obi-won Kenobi refers to Luke Skywalker as the chosen one. This can be supported by when Ben Kenobi’s Force Ghost says, “That boy is our only hope” to Yoda in the Empire Strikes Back. So is Luke the Chosen One? XL L S ​ ​ According to George Lucas, No, Anakin is the Chosen One. However, since Disney is now in charge of Star Wars this could change, but lets first operate under the assumption that Anakin is the Chosen One. There is plenty of evidence to support this.

"Trump! Trump! Trump! He Needs to be Voted Out" - A Variation of "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!"

During the American Civil War (1861-1865), many Songs were published and sung. One of them was "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!" and it went: In the prison cell I sit, thinking Mother, dear, of you, And our bright and happy home so far away, And the tears they fill my eyes 'spite of all that I can do, Tho' I try to cheer my comrades and be gay. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching, Cheer up comrades they will come, And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again, Of the free land in our own beloved home. In the battle front we stood, when their fiercest charge they made, And they swept us off a hundred men or more, But before we reached their lines, they were beaten back dismayed, And we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching, Cheer up comrades they will come, And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again, Of the free land in our own beloved home. So within the prison cell we are waiting for th
