I had planned on watching the entire debate. I couldn’t. After about 20 minutes, I had to turn it off. Donald Trump was setting the new world’s record for lies and misinformation per minute. Biden sounded old and sometime confused, like he said that he “beat Medicare.”

The CNN moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, let Trump get away with every lie he told (like when Trump said that Democrats — and Biden — support “post- birth abortions”).

Quite honestly, it was painful to watch. So I stopped and went back to watching “DCI Banks” on BritBox. Once it’s over, or maybe tomorrow, I’ll read what some of the political journalists I respect have to say.
