Question for all esteemed colleagues here…
If Biden isn’t mentally and physically fit to run for re-election, and replacement of him as a candidate is on the table, how can he be fit to run the country through the end of his term?
The dem pundits are all missing the point that running the country is the most concerning item here, not his re-election bid. They’re only concerned about presidential politics, not the financial condition, immigration challenges, and the geopolitical status of our country.
IMO, if he needs to be replaced as a candidate, he needs to be replaced as President.

As to the “Trump lies” mantra, it’s all he has as he cannot defend his awful record/ performance in office. And I find it absolutely hilarious that a lifelong serial liar like Biden stands there and calls Trump a liar. Now that is truly hilarious!!!!
PS: Props to Tapper and Bash for putting aside their well documented hatred for Trump and conducting a fair and professional debate.

Mot, I agree (for the most part) on your take. Trump should have done a better job - and had he - it would've been a rout. His biggest miss(es) for me were just not answering the question asked. I don't mind a rebuttal before your answer OR pivoting halfway through, but he should've just answered then done those tactics. He has the answers (I've heard them) - just got sucked into rebuttals.
With that said, I watched MSNBC and CNN post-debate, and watched NBC early this morning. The haven't really defended Biden's performance and did pass along the "panic" of the Democratic party. My biggest problem is the spin on Trump.
Once again, they are ALL saying the exact same thing. "Trump had so many lies" "Trump just had lie after lie" "Trump had a torrent of lies" etc. But NONE of them said what the lies were. Sure, I'd say there were definitely times that Trump exaggerated or dotted his sentences with superlatives - but flat out lies? Journalism continues to be dead....just like the Biden campaign.

Biden was rambling and mumbling and the split screen really hurt him. But I thought he had a couple strong “debate moments” when he attacked Trump. But on the relevant issues he was very weak and it showed.
Trump on the other hand “fouled off” several softballs instead of hitting them out of the park. Too many times the KO punch was there to be landed and he brought a jab or a miss. This could’ve and should’ve been a rout but it in my opinion was a win for Trump but not the blowout it should’ve been.
Grades:
Trump: B-
Biden: D+

But a special night before the a game to honor 1000 games played?? Nope. Not in my opinion. Maybe 1000 points. Maybe 500 goals. But not 1000 games played in the NHL.
