On coming up with a plan to replace Obamacare:
Trump says he will. He hasn't, but he will. He takes credit for lowering the price of insulin "It's so cheap, it's like water, it's so cheap" (Does he actually expect anyone to believe that?)
Trump is incapable of just not shutting up for a few seconds. It's impressive. "No I didn't! No I don't! Socialized medicine!"
"Pocahantas would have beat you!" More racism from trump.
Biden: "I'm not here to call out his lies. Everybody knows he's a liar."
Trump interrupts more.
Chris: Let him speak.
Trump: I am! (continues yelling. Socialized Medicine!"
Biden: He has no plan. He has no idea how to fix it.
Trump: I already fixed it. "This is the way it is! My choice was to run it really well, or badly, but no matter how well you run it, it's a disaster. I got rid of pre-existing conditions"
Biden: The fact is, this man doesn't know what he's talking about.
Wallace: You brought up packing the court, adding justices. Are you willing to tell the American people that you will support ending the filibuster or pack the court with extra justices?
Biden refuses to answer. I think he knows that both of those things are unpopular.
Wallace brings up 200,000 dead. Trump glowers silently. Hah! Finally shut him up for a moment.
Wallace: Why should the american people trust you?
Biden: Lists the numbers. "It is what it is because you are who you are." "He's on tape acknowledging that he knew about it, but praised Xi, and did absolutely nothing else. He still doesn't have a plan." Biden points out that he has a plan already, he's been pushing for it. "Get off your golf course, and get into the oval office and do something about it."
Trump: "You don't know how many died in China." Claims he closed the border. Claims he was the only one who did and that he saved thousands of lives and that he's taking strong action. "All the governor's said that president trump did a phenomenal job. We're weeks away from a vaccine. We've done a great job. But the fake news gives me bad coverage." None of that is true, obviously. (Except the bad coverage - they keep reporting things he actually says.)
