I would agree, but this is where things are these days. Embarrassing people has become the main way to show power. Pwners get respect from the younger generations.
It is a pretty lame attempt though and I don't think Biden's group can out troll Trump's group.

Trump is probably a bit of both, honestly. You don't have to go back 30 years to find a reasonable presidential debate that doesn't seem like a circus act, you can go back 8.
The disconnectedness and AI manipulation of social media definitely has it's share of blame for the state of the country as a whole, but if we're talking about the ####show that elections and leaders have become in America, Trump shares a huge part of the blame.
As they said on the Hill, he's a chaos agent. That's why the GOP chose him, that's why he beat Hillary, and that's part of the reason America is in the state it's in and the role of the President and the election to decide that has become a farce – his sole quality is chaos.
Yup it started before that, probably when he came down that escalator and called Mexican immigrants rapists. The media latched onto it, gave him all the free airtime he ever wanted. He started at 1%. Then at the first Republican debate he was asked the first question, the most questions, given the most speaking time over established candidates. Then the exchange with Megyn Kelly. All to boost ratings.

Yes and what do the Democrats do? Run a career politician.
Sure, and while I thought Biden was a pretty terrible choice, there has to be a lot of people that went for "something different" that now regret that choice because it's been a disaster.
Then again nothing surprises me anymore.
Regardless of which party you typically vote for, Trump is easily one of the worst, least intelligent presidents of all time.
Fox News, Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch are what happened... though they just tapped into existing grievances, they legitimized them and gave them an echo chamber to reinforce them...
I've posted it before, but if you actually want to know the answer to this question... here you go.
... well, it's most of the answer, anyway.

Is "And if he didn't misspeak, which side do you stand on" that tough of a follow-up for Tim Scott? It seems like the press is willing to lead his apologists right up to the point where its easy to infer what they mean, but they almost never force them to commit to saying the words outloud.

Serious question, who could possibly be worse than him?
I went and re-watched bits of the 3rd Clinton-Trump debate because I was thinking to myself during last nights debate "was he this bad in 2016?".
...he wasn't, Trump came out even more aggressive this go-around than during his debates with Clinton and I thought Biden owned him.
Trump literally launched an attack against Hillary in regards to how her emails were handled and ran a huge part of his campaign based around the concept of 'crooked Hillary.'
"Lock her up, lock her up" was a repeated chant at his rallies.
He isn't even coming close to do anything like that against Biden.
