Darrell Castle talks about the recent presidential debate and explains what would happen if Joe Biden is elected President. Transcription / Notes: WHAT HAPPENS IF BIDEN WINS? Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday the 2nd day of October in the year 2020. That’s right, its October already and it seems impossible but here it is anyway. What happened to this summer and what happened to this year? The virus happened I suppose, and the government reacted to it.  Well, the Castle family is doing fine anyway. We are all healthy as far as we know and there is no virus among us.  Today I’m talking about the debate that was held last Tuesday the 29THof September. Debate is what that television show was called but it didn’t fit any of the rules I have come to think of as governing civilized debate. In some ways it was like two chimpanzees screaming and throwing feces at each other. I have been involved in many debates in my life and in fact as a lawyer almost every conversation is a debate. I’m not talking about conversation though, but instead I am talking about formal, organized debate. When I was a presidential candidate in 2016, I was invited to a debate to be held on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder. It was organized by Christina Tobin of Free and Equal. I knew that with Christina involved it would be well done, and I would not be ambushed. The major parties, of course, declined to attend on the premise that to be on stage with third parties would convey some of their status to them. The candidates all stood on stage, under the lights and in front of an auditorium full of people. The moderator of the debate was Ed Asner the former star of the Mary Tyler Moore show. He played Mary’s boss and father figure, Lou Grant. I expected him to be hostile to me because he did not share my views, but my hope was that I could win him over during the questioning. He was far less hostile and far more respectful to me than Chris Wallace was to Donald Trump. Wallace’s performance was disgraceful and threw any results out the window. How can you decide about who won when the supposed neutral moderator is so openly biased to one side? Ed Asner was not openly biased except perhaps at first, but I won him over during the questions. How did I do that, by being better prepared on the issues than my opponents and by presenting myself as a person of calm and respectful demeanor. In other words, as a person you could picture holding the office he sought. The debate between Trump and Biden left me with a bad feeling and a little confused. I expected these men who have spent their lives in politics or business to be a little more dignified. Oh, I didn’t expect the oratory of John Kennedy or the quiet dignity of Dwight Eisenhower, but perhaps I didn’t expect the Hollywood clown show that I got either. It would be good to have a non-hysteric on the public stage, if not the candidates, at least the moderator. Let’s return to 2016 for just a moment. In my debate the candidates were given questions to answer and the order alternated with each question. Each candidate was given a chance to respond to an opponent’s answer for a given amount of time. A timekeeper kept time and signaled time’s up when it was up. All candidates ignored her except me because I wanted to present someone who was respectful of the rules and the other candidates. It would probably be impossible to conduct such a fair and unbiased debate with Trump and Biden primarily because the moderator was so obviously biased. I’m guessing that Chris Wallace had instructions to keep Biden from getting cornered on any issues and from showing any signs of mental decline. If those were his instructions, he fulfilled them quite well. Trump interrupted and talked over Biden a lot I suppose because Wallace would not let him respond otherwise. Both men seemed like roosters just before the fight, strutting around and determined not to appear intimidated.
