      At this point what I think is happening is Joe has one of those old age bugs except this one specifically makes the brain to mouth communication issues that come with a stutter a lot worse.

      Because communication seems to always be this guy’s biggest stumbling block, if this were just a report card comparison there wouldn’t be a race, he’s obviously still a competent guy as old as he is, the problem is that something’s going on that makes it way harder for him to adequately communicate that whenever he needs to.

      That’s really the only way I can self reason why he then proceeded to be completely fine in the much lower pressure environment of his after debate rally.

      Edit: report card not credit card, although personally I’m willing to bet that Joe’s credit score is way better than Donny’s too

        I don’t even need Biden to be competent. Just surround himself with a competent cabinet. Which he has, and is why we’ve gotten so many wins and why Trump did so horribly in his first term.

      They’ll tell us that Joe did great, and that anyone thinking otherwise is being subliminally influenced by Russian propaganda.

      I only got to see the closing statements. Biden looked worn down. Unconfident. Soft spoken. I could barely understand what he was saying and I had to turn on closed captioning.

      Then Trump starts talking…and it’s all bullshit, but God if he doesn’t sound good spewing it.

      America is fucked. The world is fucked. We’re all gonna die. Buckle in.

        I listened to about half an hour, as long as I could bear in any case. Your description fits all of what I saw, and probably the whole thing.

      People will memory hole it IF Biden does better in the future. The last thing that happened is always the only thing that matters in US elections.
