President Joe Biden, in his first television interview since his CNN debate with Donald Trump, brushed off the poor performance as a "bad episode" and said he alone was to blame for what transpired.
… “Did you ever watch the debate afterwards?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden.
"I don't think I did, no," the president said.
But did he know how badly it was going while he was on stage?
"Yeah, look. The whole way I prepared, nobody's fault, mine. Nobody's fault but mine. I-- I prepared what I usually would do sitting down as I did come back with foreign leaders or National Security Council for explicit detail. And I realized-- partway through that, you know, all-- I get quoted the New York Times had me down, ten points before the debate, nine now, or whatever the hell it is. The fact of the matter is, what I looked at is that he also lied 28 times. I couldn't-- I mean, the way the debate ran, not-- my fault, nobody else's fault, no one else's fault."
"But it seemed like you were having trouble from the first question in, even before he spoke?" Stephanopoulos asked.
"Well, I just had a bad night," Biden said.
ABC News offered a similar interview opportunity to Trump but he declined.

Is Trump getting smarter?
I got one to return the favor: Ramble On! [Billy Strings cover]
Biden’s mind has been slipping for a long time. It wasn’t as well known as it should have been, because most of the media wouldn’t touch it. The future of the country depends on Trump winning.
This senile retard doesn’t know if he saw his debate?
Who will take that 3 AM phone call?
Why didn’t George ask him “What do you mean you can’t remember?”
“Well, I just had a bad night.” At this point, does he ever have “good” nights?
This is supposed to make it better? How often does he have these “bad episodes”? This is the President of the United States fer crissakes. Jeez. The excuses are worse than the reality.
It reminds me of the scene near the end of the Blues Brothers when Jollet Jake (Belushi) was making excuses why he had not showed up for his wedding.
Isn’t George being sued by Trump?
I thought this was supposed to be hardball, no holds barred interview. Stepinapuddleofpiss didn’t throw any fast pitches. Go figure...
Sorry I’m a piker. a no body. The payment system i managed for 12 years processed about $8 Billion dollars a year with remittances, 835, eft, checks and pallets of member statements each day. If i ever screwed up like this guy i don’t think i could tell my VP boss, “ Sorry on me, just had a bad night”
Like this....Okay Joe...Ready..."Joe, what will you do with the overflow of immigrants.
The first thing we will do...is give them a cell phone....
Well I’m just glad that Joe was at the debate. And not in bed at his usual time. With the football tucked under his pillow.
Shhh, 2 more months....
For Biden and his handlers two months will feel like two centuries.
Joe says he gets a cognitive test every single day. Repeated.
Whopops—he’s leaning in for angry old man whisper mode.
Jill didn’t button his shirt all the way……
