Trump, Biden tear into each other

Many people anticipated a testy US presidential debate on Tuesday night and that is exactly what they got.

The much-hyped 90-minute debate in Cleveland, Ohio, co-hosted by Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic, started with an exchange over the recent nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg a little more than a month before the Nov 3 election.

"We won the election. Elections have consequences," Trump said. "Good in every way," was how he described Barrett. "Some of her biggest endorsers are very liberal people."

"The American people have a right to have a say on the Supreme Court nominee," Biden said. "The election has already started. She (Barrett) thinks that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional," Biden said.

The former vice-president said "100 million people have pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies are going to love that," if the act is overturned.

"I guess I'm debating you, not him," Trump told moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News, whom he repeatedly interrupted.

The president also consistently interrupted Biden, who at one point said, "Will you shut up, man?"

At times Wallace seemed like the gentlemanly host of a party who was trying to keep the peace between two unruly guests.

"I think the country would be better served," Wallace said, if both men allowed each other to speak, but pointedly said Trump was interrupting more.

"It's hard to get in any word with this clown," Biden said about an hour into the debate.

"Maybe you can inject some bleach in your arm," Biden taunted in bringing up a comment Trump made about treatments for the novel coronavirus.

"I was being sarcastic," Trump said.

Trump and Biden have been trading insults for months, and the debate seemed to reveal a genuine dislike between the two men, with no pretense of decorum.

"You're the worst president America's ever had," Biden said.

"I've done more in 47 months than you've done in 47 years," Trump retorted.

On the COVID-19 pandemic, Biden said, "It is what it is because you are who you are. He (Trump) knew all the way back in February how deadly it was. You don't panic. He panicked."

"This is his economy. How many of you got up this morning and had an empty chair because of COVID?" Biden said. "His own CDC director says we could lose as many as another 200,000 by the end of year."

"This guy will close down the whole country," Trump said in reference to the pandemic. "We don't need someone to come in and say, 'Let's shut it down.'"

"Far fewer people are dying," the president said. "They give you good press, they give me bad press."

A New York Times report on Sunday claimed that the president avoided federal taxes and has racked up more than $400 million in debt.

The Times' findings also said Trump paid only $750 a year in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017, and no income taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years.

"This guy paid a total of $750 in taxes," Biden said during the debate, comparing Trump's tax payments with those of a schoolteacher.

Trump, 74, dismissed the Times' report as "fake news" at a news conference on Sunday and in a series of tweets on Monday.

Biden, 77, and his running mate, US Senator Kamala Harris of California, 55，on Tuesday released their 2019 tax returns, which showed that the Democratic presidential nominee and his wife Jill paid close to $300,000 in federal taxes last year.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released on Sept 16 found that 51 percent of registered voters nationally say they would vote for Biden, while 43 percent back Trump, a tally that was largely unchanged from a month ago.

More than 70 percent say the debates won't matter much to them, and only 11 percent in the survey said they were undecided.

"As fascinating as the Times reports have been, I don't think they will change the basic shape of the race, except that Trump is behind and he needs to start making up ground," said Cal Jillson, a political scientist and historian at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

"I don't think that these tax returns will have a major impact. This is a character issue, and most voters have already made up their minds about Trump's character and Biden's," said William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Governance Studies Program who has worked on six Democratic presidential campaigns.

There are two more presidential debates, on Oct 15 and Oct 22, and one vice-presidential debate, on Oct 7.
