Why did anyone think Joe Biden was ready for a 90-minute presidential debate? One reason is that a small handful of journalists, with left-leaning sympathies but very credible records, have interviewed him and those close to him in the White House and returned with reports that while he’s definitely older, he’s still pretty sharp and in charge.
Two of the most prominent are Biden biographers Evan Osnos and Franklin Foer. I spoke to them Sunday as they reconciled their own portrayals with the faltering 81-year-old they saw on national television.
In his deeply-reported recent New Yorker article, Osnos detailed Biden on the precipice of his final campaign, the definition of an elder statesman steeling himself for a rematch with an emboldened Donald Trump. But in his one sitdown with Biden in January (the White House declined his invitation for a second), he described an older Biden in command of his faculties: “His voice is thin and clotted, and his gestures have slowed, but, in our conversation, his mind seemed unchanged. He never bungled a name or a date.”

Couple of weeks ago Joe was sharp as a tack. He caught a cold and his mind went to jello! Just like that!
“a small handful of journalists, with left-leaning sympathies but very credible records,”
In other words a gang of pathological liars and propagandists....
They were never “credible” with me.
Court historians are the lowest form of scum.
There is no such thing as a leftist sympathizer journalist with a credible record!
They all lie constantly, to advance their cause.
The debate was a major help, but I don’t like all the discussion that sounds like he should be reelected if he can demonstrate he’s barely conscious.
Democrats are a disaster and we need them out! I don’t care if Biden wins an Olympic gold medal.
The debate is damning and unforgetable.
“…with left-leaning sympathies but very credible records, have interviewed him and those close to him in the White House and returned with reports that while he’s definitely older, he’s still pretty sharp and in charge.“
In other words: Who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?
C’mon clowns, you’ve been busted. You’ve been lying thru your America hating Donald Trump despising teeth.
Delusional poltroons recording a corrupt pedophile and his dysfunctional “family.” They really enjoy this?
Biden biographers have a personal financial incentive to see him succeed.
This is what the left are saying and thinking...
No one recognized Joe was deminted until the debate.
He’s okay daytime.. Just tired after 5.
Keep him on the ticket.. Another 4 years, Joe
And you think you can sell it that way.
The guy is an embarrassment sitting in as President of this great nation.. You’ve lost your minds!!
You can’t come to an ounce of positives re Trump.. But you can make it up for Joe.
You are seriously out... Gone!! ...
“Biden biographers have a personal financial incentive to see him succeed.”
In more ways than just one. Do any of them want to be known as the journalists that knew Biden was failing and decided it was to cover it up. Much better for them to say they don’t know what happened between when they saw him sharp and in command and his performance a bit later when he looked like a zombie.

Can anyone name one “journalist with left-leaning sympathies but a very credible record”? I don’t think there is one. I certainly cannot name one.
