After arguably one of the most disastrous televised debate performances in American history, President Biden’s campaign continues to try to reset the nagging narrative that he shouldn’t run the country until he’s 86 years old.
And while there’s plenty to bolster the position the president doesn’t have another four years in him (from a Post poll saying 82% of people don’t think Biden should run to evidence that all he can handle is a six-hour workday), the re-election effort is nonetheless trying to convince media and the country that none of what they saw Thursday night mattered.
At a Saturday fundraiser in Red Bank, NJ, Biden attempted to diminish the importance of his first face-off with former President Donald Trump as he joked it wasn’t his “best debate ever, as Barack points out,” before moving into strategist spin.
“Since the debate, the polls show little movement and even have me up a couple points since the debate. Research during the debate shows us converting more undecided voters than Trump did, in large part because of the — his conduct on Jan. 6 as well as fighting for the working class — which he doesn’t do,” Biden said.
After casting various aspersions on Trump, Biden again resorted to self-deprecation, saying he “didn’t have a great night but neither did” Trump and admitting, as he did at Friday’s post-debate North Carolina rally, that he doesn’t “debate as well as . . . in the past.”

This is elder abuse by an entire political party.
Good question. It's too bad the idiotic, presstitute court recorders cannot think to ask the same question.

Greatest voter fraud machine in history ...
I can hardly wait for the next debate.
They’re brazening it out, which is to be expected. The problem is that the embarrassment of that debate wasn’t an aberration, it was the new normal. This isn’t going away.
Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears.

CNN’s JAKE TAPPER: There is a discernable pattern of Democrat officials seemingly trying to convince you, the public, to not believe what you saw and what you heard with your eyes and with your ears on Thursday night.

The Democrats have been lying through their teeth about anything and everything for many decades.
At this point it is just getting boring.
In the immortal words from Watergate:
“You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.”

I think Trump should nickname him “Joe Bader Ginsburg” just to rub it in.
