Wow, that was brutal. Just brutal.
From the moment Joe Biden first spoke, it was clear this was going to be a bad night for him. My only conclusion is that all the talk about Biden potentially being drugged for this debate to boost his performance ultimately scared the campaign from doing just that.
This was a huge gamble for the Biden campaign to have Joe debate Trump, and they lost big time. But don't take my word for it.
Politico reports that "Democrats expressed confusion and concern as they watched the first minutes of the event. One former Biden White House and campaign aide called it 'terrible,' adding that they have had to ask themselves over and over 'What did he just say? This is crazy.''"
Another veteran Democratic operative texted, “Biden seems to have needed a few minutes to warm up. I wonder if the lack of an audience was the right decision. And poor guy needs a tea. Maybe a whiskey.”
Jay Surdukowski, an attorney and Democratic activist from New Hampshire who co-chaired Martin O’Malley’s 2016 presidential campaign in the state, said, “Biden is toast — calling it now.”
Biden’s rambling answers provided Trump multiple opportunities to jump in with retorts. At one point, after an answer ostensibly on immigration, Trump said, “I don’t know what he said at the end there. I don’t think he knows what he said.”
The president’s performance was widely panned online and will likely reinforce the impression that he’s lost a step. The 81-year-old president’s age has long been a liability, with poll after poll showing even many Democrats concerned about his age.
The Biden campaign claimed Biden's raspy voice was due to a cold, "

Well, Trump pointed out the illegal immigrants are replacing the AA community.
I never heard an answer to that.
“ Why does everyone always go to Van Jones for his opinions?”
That was exactly what I thought. Black liberation Marxist POS, who cares.

Is that for real?
Not only did they let Trump talk, but finally Trump was subdued and let Biden hang himself. Not 1 cuss word until the end of the debate. Biden was cussing throughout. Not 1 critical remark of CNN or anyone in the media. Never have seen Trump like this. Trump could have done much better, but didnt need to and all those fence riders on Trump didnt see him losing his cool even when Joe said he was a convictes felon, slept with a porn star when his wife was pregnant. That was all to gode Trump and he didnt like the debate. Whether you agree with Trumps demeanor tonight or not no one can complain about it.Heck CNN was so demoralized about Bidens performance not one word was said about Trump. It was as if Biden had given a speech and Trump wasnt there.
But he’ll only do it for calzone, pizza and a cannoli!
Loved Seinfeld’s show - even though liberal that he is
He is liberal but at least he’s not woke and has been criticizing the radical left.
Why does everyone always go to Van Jones for his opinions? because hes a felon
Yes that was the first poll taken after the debate.
This morning all the folks who said ‘behind closed doors, Biden was sharp as ever’... are not making up new lies.
It’s an interesting process to watch.
wow
THIS DEBATE WAS AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER FOR BIDEN
TYT calls it after the first debate, it’s over for President Biden. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola react to the first Presidential debate on The Young Turks.
