• Campaign: Borat breaks into the American campaign

  • Elections. US breaks early voting records two weeks before elections

Donald Trump behaved and the second and last presidential debate with Joe Biden ended up being civilized, within the classic parameters of a date of this style.

There were attacks and some other interruptions, but without reaching greater, light years from the rain of insults that both candidates carried out on September 29 in

Cleveland

,

Ohio

.

Trump followed the guidelines set by his campaign advisers and tried to seduce the electorate from

Nashville

,

Tennessee

, installed in his theory that he is not a conventional politician like Biden, whom he did not stop attacking in the hope of cutting the 7 points of According to polls, the disadvantage is 11 days before the November 3 elections.

The former vice president and candidate for the

Democratic Party

, for his part, was not intimidated by the president's accusations about his son,

Hunter Biden

, and his alleged illicit enrichment with Ukrainian funds.

He was brave, amending part of the blunders of the first debate.

He promised legislation for the millions of undocumented immigrants in the first 100 days of his presidency, in a considerable nod to the Latino electorate, and pledged to reduce polluting emissions to zero by 2035 with a determined commitment to renewable energy, turning off the tap of subsidies to the oil industry, despite the many votes that your statements can cost you in states like

Texas

,

Pennsylvania

or

Oklahoma

.

Biden, more presidential than ever

Biden sounded more presidential than ever.

He drew energy from where it no longer seems to have it at 77 and

spoke of hope, of change, of uniting the red and blue states instead of dividing them

, in contrast to the polarized environment that is breathed in the

United States

today.

"I represent all Americans," he said.

"I am going to give you hope over fear," speaking of the enormous opportunities to grow an economy powered by "clean energy, creating millions of jobs."

The progressive candidate promised "decency, honor and respect, treating people with dignity, which you have not had in four years."

Despite the permanent allusions and direct attacks from the Democrat, Trump was far from sulking.

Subjected to the silence of the microphones with each turn of the speech - according to the previous rules established to avoid a circus like the previous debate - the Republican respected the times.

And when it didn't, it was seen with the moderator,

Kristen Walker

, a journalist from

NBC

, firm and effective.

She was by far the best of the three moderators in this electoral campaign.

Partly for that reason the debate was grayer, more tedious than the previous one.

But it was not devoid of flashy phrases.

Trump promised, once again, a vaccine to solve the

coronavirus

crisis

in "a matter of weeks", without specifying the exact date, how many, or in charge of which particular laboratory.

He later proclaimed himself "the least racist person in the room," regardless of who was present, and as the president who has helped the black community in the US the most since

Abraham Lincoln

.

Of course, he was unable to support the

Black Lives Matter

movement

and the fight for racial equality.

Trump blames his accountants for his tax problems

In terms of taxes, he blamed his accountants for not being able to make his tax returns public, accused of having paid only $ 1,500 in two years after an investigation by

The New York Times

.

In fact, he boasted of having paid in advance "millions and millions of dollars, which is much worse."

This was said by a then-Republican candidate in 2016 who bragged about being very smart for having taken advantage of the ins and outs of the system to avoid paying taxes for years.

He also puffed out, to the surprise of many, for his environmental achievements, despite being a consummate climate change denier.

"I love the environment," he said.

"We have the cleanest water, the cleanest air and the lowest emissions of the last 35 years. We have done a great job with the environment."

Where he could not get his chest out was when dealing with the thorny issue of the separations of families of undocumented immigrants at the border.

What's more, he seemed to blush and welcome a change of subject.

Biden reminded him of the 545 children whose parents could not be located after being forcibly separated

.

"It wasn't the coyotes who brought them in," as Trump claimed.

"Their parents brought them in," the Democrat reminded him.

"What they did violates any notion of who we are as a nation. It is criminal."

The president alleged that the cages in which they locked minors were built by Democrats and that now the children are very well cared for, "in structures that are very clean."

His own daughter,

Ivanka Trump

, called those scenes on the border, as part of the zero tolerance policy with undocumented immigrants, as the lowest moment in her father's presidency.

He also left a pearl for the undocumented.

He said that only "those with the lowest IQ" returned to appear before a judge to settle their immigration case, protected by

the Democrats'

catch & release

program

that he eliminated during his presidency.

"Sorry to say, but that's the way it is."

They were 90 different minutes, marked by the

48 million Americans who have already exercised their right to vote

and who will care little about this debate.

The rest still have 11 days to opt for one option or another, no matter how tempting they may be.
