Tonight was the first presidential debate of the season and there was a lot of hype beforehand surrounding the event. Doug and I decided not to watch it as we knew that we wouldn't come out feeling positive in the end. Cal watched it, however, solely for the comedic possibilities of it.
The debate started at 9 p.m. and it wasn't a few minutes past that when Cal ran upstairs to tell us that Trump had already ignored the rules of the debate. He kept interrupting Biden and running over his allotted time. The moderator stepped in, but it was almost impossible for him to stop Trump's antics. At some point Biden finally said, "Would you just shut up, man?"
For the most part the debate provided the comedy that Cal was looking for this evening. There was one answer, however that really bothered him. The moderator asked Trump if he would denounce white supremacy. The president sidestepped the question, never giving a straight answer. Doug and I weren't surprised by that. In fact it only supported our decision not to watch the debate. In the end both Trump and Biden made fools of themselves. One of Cam's friend's moms said it best when she posted, "If this is our best America, then we need to reevaluate a few things."
