We want to start with what we saw tonight on stage. Chaotic and contentious. The first president abial debate 90 minutes of President Trump and joe biden facetoface in cleveland. No traditional handshake you can see. From the start, both campaigns taking turn answer questions, thats out the window. Can i be honest . Try to be honest. Sir, thats absolutely not true. Sir, gentlemen, i hate to raise my voice and back and forth, it was exhausting at times to watch. Chris wallace from fox news showing his frustration primarily with the president throughout the debate. There were few uninterrupted answers by either candidate. The top ten cities and the top 40 cities are run by democrats and many cases radical left and they got you wrapped around their finger to a point where you dont want to say anything about law and order. I will tell you what, the people of this country want and demand law and order and you are afraid to say it. You can be the first president of the United States to leave office and having fewer jobs. I am not sure the American People benefited from tonight. Both sides trying to claim victory at this late hour. Lets bring in our analyst larry gerston, what happened tonight . We have never seen a debate like this one and sometimes seemed like a matchiboxing match. I have been watching debates for 50 years and nothing like this one. At one point he called the president the clown and other point he calls him to shut up. It was the president who again and again really just dismembered his office in the way he behaves and interrupting where chris wallace, the moderator, constantly telling the president please stop, please stop. It was an embarrassment because it was hard to get anything out. When we see something out, some were quite differeicult to take. At one point the moderator asked the president if hell condemn white supremacy, this was his response. I want to see peace. Do it, say it. What do you want to call them. White supremacy. Stand back and standby, i will tell you what, somebody got to do something about antifa and the left. Stand back and standby. What do you make of that . Stand back and standby. Get ready to rumble. And he went ahead and said they got to get in there and protect people. He talked about the cities, stand back and standby is not exactly condemning White Supremaci supremacis supremacists. Tomorrow morning is going to be that phrase. President trump routinely interrupted joe biden leading to this exchange. I am not going to answer the question. Radical left will you shut up, man. Who was on your list, joe . This is so unprecedented. Larry, could anybody get their point across tonight . One thing i found interesting. Remember how many times joe biden was looking right into the camera as hes looking at you in the living room, he was talking to me tonight. That was a brilliant move. He did it over and over again which sort of like cast the president s side. Dont listen to him, i am looking and talking to you because i care. Thats the kind of thing people are going to remember more than anything else. Larry, last question here, did the president succeed tonight . If you watch his puns tonight, he came across fierce and came across his game plan. He came across incredibly rude. He ended up the pluses that may have been working together. This may have been something where the president failed. As a person who is above it all and all the good things hes done. He fell apart. Biden crumbling, it was the president. It was the president absolutely saw how frustrated he was as the night went on. I dont think it went well for the president tonight. The voters will decide. Larry, thank you for your insight. Next debate is scheduled for october 15th in miami. Based on what happened tonight, there will be a lot of focus on the moderator, steve skully from cspan and the final debate october 22nd, moderated by kristen welker.
