There was no debating it – Bill Maher‘s Real Time was going to talk about Thursday night’s presidential candidates battle and the consequences of Joe Biden’s performance.
Maher started the show with a couple jabs, noting that Trump would not have gotten away with his tall tales if only Joe Biden had been present. It was a theme that carried over to the panel portion of the show, where former presidential candidate and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard tried to inject a bit of common sense into the rants of Maher and guest Chris Matthews.
