you're a startup going for your first SOC 2 or ISO-27,001, or a growing enterprise managing vendor risk, Banta makes it quick, easy, and scalable, and I'm not to say that because I work here. Get started today at banta.com. Well, last night was the first and probably only debate between Donald Trump, former presidents of the United States and Joe Biden, the current president of the United States. I said before this debate, it was going to be one of the only debates of my lifetime that really, really mattered. It was going to be a turning point in this process because there's no new information that's been added to this process for legitimately a year. And it was going to go one way or it was going to go the other. But the worst possible thing that could happen for Joe Biden was for him

to show up on stage and fall apart. And that is precisely what happened last night. Donald Trump

was disciplined. Donald Trump gave the best debate performance of his career, but he did it on a night

where Joe Biden assumed room temperature. Joe Biden effectively died on the stage last night.

I don't even mean that in terms of a figurative performance. I mean he looked as though he was physically going to die on the

stage. It was pretty horrifying on a sort of emotional level to watch an 81 year old man being

trotted out there by his team, by the Democratic Party, by his family to be humiliated on

national television and from hundreds of millions of people. As an American, it was deeply depressing

and disturbing because you know that the most evil people around the world are looking at this

and they are licking their chops. They feel like they now have a window between now and when

Donald Trump presumably takes office in January where they got

to go. The world just became a much more dangerous place. But the feeling when watching this was

stunned disbelief, just an absolute stunned disbelief. Because I think everybody kind of thought,

okay, so they'll shoot Biden filled with that cocktail of his and he'll probably just make it

through. It'll probably be okay.

And then the question will be whether Trump is too volatile or Trump blows right past the moderators or whatever it is. And again, we'll get to Trump's performance, which I thought was

outstanding. For Donald Trump, this was easily the best performance of his life. He kept himself

contained. He kept himself restrained. He was pointed when he needed to be. But this debate

was not about Donald Trump. It was all about Joe Biden. And that is why this race is now all about Joe Biden.
