    Biden was tired from engagements, a sore throat and jet lag. What could go wrong? This was a made-to-order event for trolls.

      Regardless, he’s toast. This will dog him the entire campaign. The media will harp on every slip, every old age shuffle, every slack jawed stare. He needs to drop out

        You act like the media harping on him for his age is anything new. Russian propagandist really need to stop commenting on our election…

          Oh lol. For fucks sake. Someone criticises your fave and they’re a “Russian propogandist”? Grow up JFC. Are all the people reporting questioning in the Dems Russian as well? Are the questioning dems all Russian agents? JFC

            Oops /s on my last sentence, I understand you are probably not, just that you are not acting in a manner that best fits the scenario where trump loses.

        He’s definitely not “toast”. One stupid debate will not affect anyone’s decision to back him. Obama had a bad first debate as well when he ran in his very first electoral race, and he still won. Twice, to be exact. None of these things you mention are going to be a deal breaker for people who know what’s at stake, and each day, that number grows. Joe isn’t perfect, but he is light years better than another Trump term.

          The age thing was already a concern. Now it’s a panic. Even top Dems are avoiding question of whether to remove Biden.

          The debate was a catastrophe. It really couldn’t have gone much worse.

              Well yeah it’s a catastrophe. You can’t avoid it. Realistically, Trump was already edging out Biden in the polls, including the 6 swing states.

              They need a new candidate immediately… but nobody else who has the party blessing (newman, kamala, Michelle, etc) polls as good against Trump as Biden.

              So what do they do? Damned if you do, damned if you dont. They are probably goinf to lose the election.

          He is light years better than Trump. A tapeworm is lightyears better than Trump. Question is, what do undecideds think? I only hope Trumps lying and evasion turn off swing voters, but it hasn’t so far
