Expert Analysis on First Biden vs. Trump 2024 Presidential Debate - Amanpour and Company PBS

[Rhiannon12866]

In a televised presidential debate, optics may be important, but the devil is in the details. Last night, a fumbling Joe Biden faced a composed Donald Trump in the first live debate of the campaign. Today, Democrats are in damage control mode and Republicans are jubilant. But later, speaking to his supporters at a watch party, President Biden appeared unfazed.

According to CNN's fact check, Donald Trump was responsible for more than three times as many falsehoods as Biden. So America faces a choice: a visibly aging man who failed to live up to that moment, or an authoritarian convicted felon soon to face additional criminal trials.

Few people are as well placed to discuss current developments, and the prospects for this summer's conventions, than veteran Democratic party strategist Simon Rosenberg and Marc Lotter, who served as special assistant to former President Trump and was director of strategic communications in his 2020 campaign. They join Christiane from Atlanta, scene of last night's debate. - Aired on 06/28/2024.

1. Marc Lotter sleeps well at night

You can do that when you have no integrity.

2. It totally boggles the mind that these "analysts" find an excuse to support a convicted individual who only tells lies

Who could trust a "leader" who only tells lies?? I still remember when Jimmy Carter took office and promised the county to always tell the truth - and the media dissected every statement he made, looking for some hint of untruth.

3. Lotter had

No intention of dealing with trumps never ending lies. The Goebbels Nazi school of propaganda is alive and well from sea to shining sea.

4. And an entire American generation fought the Nazis to the death - how soon we forget!

Don't they teach history in schools anymore?? I took an entire year of World History back in 10th grade and WWII played a big part!

5. Facts

Will soon be replaced by the Bible My Dear. Conservatives don’t like facts but they do like contributions of Christians. A wink and a nod to those who digress.

Haven’t seen Stefanik in the news lately. My sorry excuse has chosen not to seek re-election. I think he’s taken a look or two in the mirror. Or I’m probably just being kind.

6. They eliminated the "school prayer" in public schools when I was still in elementary school here in New York

The only time we had mandatory religion classes was at my boarding school which was parents' choice.

As for Stefanik, we had no primary here in NY-21 this week since Stefanik has a challenger. All I know about her so far is that she's a Democrat - who is getting my vote.
