The age of disagreement

In the first round of television battles, US presidential candidates Biden made a sad impression even on the Democrats. Republicans rejoice

For the first time in history, the current president of the former president, who seeks to return to the White House, participated in the history in television. For the first time, television devices went so early - even before the party congresses, at which Biden and Trump, who won the primary elections, nevertheless had to be nominated to participate in the November elections as candidates of the Democratic Party and the Republican.

And one more innovation: for the first time in more than 30 years, the special state federal commission designed to establish the regulations was not engaged in the organization of debate. Two election headquarters of candidates and the organizing television channel, in this case, CNN, agreed on the conditions without the participation of state officials.

We agreed that each candidate will have 2 minutes to answer the question, his opponent has 1 minute per replica, then, respectively, for another minute to respond to criticism. Moderators - the leading television channel Jake Tapper and Dana Bash - could add time or go to the next issue.

It is fundamentally important: when he said one, the opponent’s microphone turned off, and he could not interrupt the speaker. On the debates of the same rivals 4 years ago, Trump constantly interrupted Biden, and he had to exclaim at one of the moments: “Yes, shut up, finally!”

In addition, a journalistic pool accredited at the White House was not allowed into the hall. This is despite the fact that journalists and bloggers from 173 publications were accredited to the event.

I counted 12 questions - from the state of the economy to whether Trump recognizes the results of the elections this time. They were as specific for America, such as the ban on abortion (although now it is relevant not only in this country!), But also how to stop the penetration into the country of fentanil, causing opioid dependence, issues about pensions and children's social benefits. There were three international topics: Ukraine, the Middle East and climatic changes. And also acute topics: events January 6 (Trump's question), age (Biden). However, candidates often preferred not to answer the question directly, but to return to the previous topic. Trump was especially distinguished by this, which the host asked three times, whether he recognizes the results of the elections this time. And only the third time he answered: yes, but if the elections are honest and fair. We all understand that this is how Trump will call the elections only in the event of his victory.

After a 90-minute broadcast from the headquarters of CNN in Atlanta, Georgia, supporters of the Democrats made disappointing conclusions: Bayden showed the whole country that he could not be president . The truth is that Trump's opponents once again became convinced that he should not become president . In fact:

There was a situation in which, as they say, "both are worse." But according to the rules, only one can and should win.

As the results of the CNN express survey showed, 67 percent of the audience gave victory in Trump TVs and only 33%-Bidena. Another question is that only 5% of respondents stated that they made their final choice, for whom to vote in November, according to these debates, another 14% said that they would still think. But 81 percent said that their choice was made - and the debate no longer affect it. It is worth recalling that CNN is considered a "probe, Probaiden Canal." On the eve and after the debate, the channel tried to present different points of view. Although the Republicans announced in advance that on the debate Trump would be in the position of “one against three” - Biden and two presenters. But even the prosed and PROTRAMPOV FOX channel after the broadcast did not express claims to two CNN moderators.

On the eve and after the debate, the Protrampov Canal concentrated on Bayden’s physical and mental inability to be president and run again. It was reminiscent of Russian TV and “eight silver bullets” by Sergey Dorenko regarding the duo of Primakov -Lozhkov. “Fox” (with rare exceptions) was not “bothering” the presentation of a different, “anti -Tramp” point of view.

On the debate with Bayden, what his supporters were afraid of and the opponents were waiting for. Despite the special preparation for the debate, which took place for more than a week in the suburban residence of the head of state in the Camp David, in the evening air the president fell into long pauses several times and lost the course of thought. Despite the fact that the rivals were more or less equal in relation to the content (at the same time, Biden made less than 10 actual errors, and Trump several dozen recorded information verification services), but the general impression that the candidates made to the viewer is important.

So it happened since the first television battles in the history of the television, when the energetic John Kennedy looked like a winner against the backdrop of a sweatshirt and stained Richard Nixon. “Beiden had only one task - to hold out for 90 minutes, but he failed her,” an anonymous source from the leadership of the Democratic Party expressed his opinion. Today, the American media are full of such pessimistic quotes from the ranks of the Presidential Party. Another assessment:

Biden in a speech before Congress in early March and on the debate - this was "two different people performed."

According to the local media, despite the difference of only 3 years, the contrast was striking: Trump seemed “mobilized and young”, Biden “non -focused and too old”. At the same time, journalists note, both candidates spoke stereotypically, constantly found out, with whom there was “more public debt” and which of them is the “worst president in history”. Ilon Musk, recently “noticed in ties with Trump,” nevertheless responded about television battles quite ironically and objectively: it was a “parade of memes”.

As for the specifics, Trump constantly beat at the same points, regardless of the questions asked: Bayden allowed the penetration of “millions of illegal migrants-terrorists, criminals and patients of mental clinics”, the Americans cannot buy the necessary products (they say, the price for them increased by 2, 3, 4 times, on average by 20 percent, the information verification service says) and the information verification service says) and the information verification service) Refuel on the gasolis, and world leaders, such as Xi Jinping, Kim Jong -un and Vladimir Putin, are not considered Biden’s position, considering him a “weak -wing”.

Trump did not answer the question of how to stop hostilities in Ukraine, whether Kyiv should give part of the territories for the sake of peace. Instead, the former president repeated several times that if he were president, in Ukraine "nothing would happen."

What is happening there is completely and completely “Biden’s fault”, which also spent $ 200 billion to help Kyiv (in fact, the fact of a factorykek service claims, less than 110). The 45th president constantly maneuvered, moving away from uncomfortable answers, and the 46th was too “logically weak” to impose his line. But both willingly called each other liars, although the American public expected a different level of polemics, first of all, from Bayden. 4 years ago, according to CNN, Biden confidently won the two television battles that last then. Now the question is like this: whether Biden will attend the second debate in September.

As the observer John King noted (“The main in CNN according to the votes of the votes in the elections”), if the democrats were “nervous” before the debate, now they are in “panic”. The first messages that Bayden’s sponsors were “very alarmed” by his performance appeared about 20 minutes after the start of the debate. And at their end, the observer Chris Wallace, in half a century of career in journalism, which went through all the largest channels of the country (including such views such as Fox and CNN), remembered how in 1974 a group of representatives of the Republican Party came to President Nixon in order to really say: it was time to leave.

The observers agreed that the democrats would have to be well reflected during the weeks that remained before the party congress (the democrats convention will be held in Chicago on August 19–22), whether Biden should support or now, 130 days before the elections, it is urgent to seek a replacement. They agreed that the best option in this situation would be the “self -insurance” of the president, this decision could be facilitated by the first Lady Jill Biden or his sister Valerie, to whom he listens. In general, a serious family conversation is needed.

Biden himself said that, in his opinion, "the debate passed well." Vice President Kamal Harris (in a black dress!) Gave an interview to several television channels, in which she stated that, despite the “slow start”, Bayden “greatly completed” the debate. The vice-president, who is called the “direct successor” (as the supporters of Trump claim, if Biden defeats in November, he will immediately transfer the post of vice president), believes that “nothing terrible has happened”, and Trump convinced everyone that in the event of his victory in the country there would be a “crash of democracy”, and the task of all voters to prevent this to prevent this ”.

Democrats, criticizing the president’s speech, are one in the fact that Trump introduced the “sea of ​​lies” and “the very bottom of selfology”.

In the Republicans camp - glee. The observer John Hanniti said that despite the long preparation for the debate, for which the president stopped the pre-election events for the duration, Biden’s performance “scared everyone” and left the impression that “the country is in danger”, not to mention the new 4-year period.

In the 43rd minute, Debatov, after Trump accused Bayden of the death of American military personnel during the “panic leaving” from Afghanistan, as well as minor girls raped and killed by illegal immigrants from other countries, to whom Biden “opened the border”, the current president noted “only one person convicted of crime” (trams recognized The guilty jury in the case of the payment of money for the silence of Stormy Daniels). To which Trump replied that Biden Hunter's son was declared a “criminal” (hid his drug addiction when receiving personal weapons). The president noted that Trump had sex with a pornstar while his wife was pregnant. Trump denies this (like all other accusations). As one of the spectators in television science after the end of the debate noted, the screen had her minor children, and she was shocked by what they heard from both candidates.

Trump was leading to Debatov in polls, including in the so -called unquenched states. The advantage was insignificant, but stable.

Now both parties will follow (and the democrats also draw conclusions) how the debate will affect the dynamics of the ratings. As one of the former White House employees at Trump noted, the Democrats for a long time stated in private conversations that Biden was quite competent and was able to fulfill his duties of the head of state. Now the whole country and the whole world doubt this. And someone "must answer for a lie."

In the Democrats camp, excitement and change are possible. In Trump’s camp, there is a continuous positive, despite 4 criminal processes and 91 charges of violation of laws.

The form won the essence.
