A two-episode town-hall debate

Since we live in dark-red, theocratic Utah, a congressional debate on both ABC and NBC preempted the dual debates scheduled at the same time on these two channels. Instead, we had the luxury of watching both debates on YouTube, first live for Biden, and then time-delayed for Trump. 

Since Biden is a “normal” human being, his performance was good, well-measured and informative, and the man took the time to answer the questions that were brought to him. 

When it came time to his opponent’s debate, we were amazed to discover that Savannah Guthrie was the first American personality who didn't fear confronting - and crushing - the Monster.

I must say that in addition to not answering questions or lying regularly, Trump wasn’t his normal self. He didn’t have the guts to insult Ms. Guthrie, nor walk away from the stage and all along, he looked a bit contrite compared to his usual behavior. 

Was he sick, unwell? Had he been warned to behave by NBC? Does he realize that he’s now lost the race? At any rate, he didn’t score any point and his lackluster performance is likely to deepen the chasm between him and Biden.
