    Let’s not sugar coat it. I’m a fan of Bidens first term. I’m happy enough to vote for him, or whoever the Dems put up because I know the stakes.

    But debate was terrible. His gaffs in his follow up appearances have been terrible as well. He’s displaying severe signs of aging, and that’s awful for his campaign.

    If you strained to listen, you could make out what Biden was attempting to say, and for the most part, it was moderate, typical stuff. Nothing radical, just the same ole stuff. But you had to strain, and fill in the blanks when he said the wrong thing, but you knew what he meant.

    Trump on the other hand, was mostly intelligible. He communicated abnormally well for him. He said awful, disgusting things that were either outright lies and/or evil shit. But he said it confidently and more or less clearly.

    Most Americans don’t seem to listen to substance, fact check, and make informed decisions. Or else Trump never would have been elected in the first place.

    I think Biden is still our best chance since I think running a primary this late would be disastrous. But let’s not fool ourselves. Biden is tanking his campaign big time.
