How to watch it:

"The CNN Presidential Debate will air live on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Español, and via streaming on Max for subscribers and without a cable login on CNN.com. CNN will make the debate available to simulcast on additional broadcast and cable news networks.
You can also follow CNN’s live debate coverage on CNN.com, which will include analysis and fact checking."
"According to parameters set by CNN in May, all participating debaters had to appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency and receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting.
Polls that meet those standards are those sponsored by CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, Marquette University Law School, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times/Siena College, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist College, Quinnipiac University, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post."
Edit And that’s it! Thanks for watching everyone!
tl;dw:
Consensus is Trump didn’t so much as beat Biden as Biden beat himself.
The real loser is CNN who failed to fact check anyone, and there were obvious fact checks on both sides.
Why are you focusing on Biden? At least he’s answering the questions. Trump can’t answer the correct question.
He’s usually on the previous one. For one response Trump didn’t answer it at all and ended early. The moderator was like “uhh you have 80 seconds left”. That’s dementia. Biden’s hoarse throat is not.
Edit: another one “uhh sir, the question was about addiction. You have 67 seconds left.”
And until he says something more memorable than answering the first question with a bunch of stuttering, ums, uhs, and then a random “I beat Medicare!”, whatever that means, then none of that will matter to most people. That soundbyte was an absolute disaster that he may not recover from.
It’s already forgotten. No one cares. Biden has had a stutter since childhood. No one cares.
I understand you’re trying to do damage control. Look, most of us are still voting against Trump, but don’t piss on us and tell us it’s raining. What Biden demonstrated wasn’t a stutter, it was clearly severe cognitive decline.
Biden didn’t stutter when he was Obama’s VP and his brain was still intact. Seems like everyone but you cares.
