As most of the media — and the country — is laser focused on the president’s poor debate performance, a handful of outspoken analysts have wondered: Where is the same scrutiny of Donald Trump? Kelly Rissman reports
John Stuart said it best - Trump meet everyone’s expectations of him. His followers are either deranged or are just exploiting his madness. Biden was the one with something to prove and he ducking blew it.
You seem to be missing the most important point here - with cognitive decline from advanced age, time is not on your side. Biden would likely be worse in a future debate, if he doesn’t do the right thing and step down immediately.
I don’t think that came up or showed in the debate so probably didn’t affect it. This is about the debate performance and its effect after all. If people didn’t care about that before the debate, they’re not going to suddenly care after it.
I don’t know you so I can’t say. But maybe, most do that. But the debate is part of the decision making. In this instance, Biden’s performance was dogshit, which was the point. As awful as Trump is, somehow people were more put off by Biden than Trump, if we consider how the polling changed after it. And that’s just awful result for Biden.

He could have been better. But there are more debates. He can come out stronger next time.
I would trade Biden in for someone ten years older if it meant we’d get a strict and intelligent moderator

I disagree. But that’s why we vote. So we get that freedom.
Lmao no shit, would’ve been hard to have been worse
You’re right. He could have been Trump.
Didn’t Trump gain support from the debate while Biden lost it to the degree that people from his own party are openly calling for him to drop out?
He’s still a rapist. So there’s that.

You mean I take more information than just a debate to make a decision?
