NBC: "What happens if you have another episode like we saw during the debate?" BIDEN (COOKED): "What happens uhdahhnuhhghuh?"

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell thinks he has a solution to Joe Biden’s debate problems. Just allow Biden’s staff to be on stage with him during the debates. To be clear, O’Donnell suggests that this is something that all candidates should do, even Trump, presumably. But we all know that O’Donnell is only saying this now because he thinks that Biden is the one who needs the help of other people to get through a debate. It’s amazing that this is the sort of analysis that MSNBC viewers get on a regular basis. Transcript via Real Clear Politics: LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Allow...

President Biden managed to gain ground on former President Donald Trump in key battleground states and trails by only 2% — even after his disastrous debate performance last week, a new poll shows. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, leads Democrat Biden 47% to 45%, in the crucial states needed to win the November election, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll released Saturday. It’s the smallest gap since the poll began in October. Although Biden is losing in Pennsylvania, the state where he grew up, he now leads Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin. He’s also within the poll’s...

Biden said that he had a "bad" debate performance against former President Trump but argued that his accomplishments during his term were more important in a radio interview Thursday. "I had a bad night," Biden said in an interview on July 4 with radio host Earl Ingram. "And the fact of the matter is that, you know, I screwed up." Biden has faced calls to step down from media figures as speculation over whether he can remain at the top of the ticket continues to dog his campaign. "I made a mistake," he told Ingram. "But I learned from my...

I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

Tucker Carlson speaks Down Under from Sydney, Australia, and reacts to the recent U.S. presidential debate.

12 of the 14 undecided voters in @FrankLuntz focus group swung to President Trump after the debate. This speaks to how masterfully President Trump performed and to just how abysmal Joe Biden's performance was, with regular Americans.

President Biden is still committed to a second debate against Donald Trump despite his abysmal showing on Thursday night. Biden, 81, will return to the debate stage in September, CNN senior White House correspondent Kayla Tausche reported Friday morning, citing an adviser. Biden is also not considering dropping out of the race — despite concerns from members of his own party.

Nearly 48 million people tuned in to watch the CNN presidential debate via television networks on Thursday night, while the event racked up more than 30 million additional viewers on YouTube and through digital modes. The network indicated the debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden is apparently the most-watched program in the network’s history.

Following his slow-motion implosion Thursday night at the presidential debate, calls grew from Democratic Party stalwarts, including mainstream liberal media outlets like MSNBC and CNN, for the president to step down, and for another Democrat nominee to be chosen. If Biden agrees, that might be a simpler maneuver, but if he clings to power and refuses to step aside, things will be a whole lot messier — and it looks like things are about to get messy. News reports Friday morning suggest that President Biden has no intention of stepping down and plans to participate in the next debate on...

President Joe Biden, who reportedly will not drop out of the 2024 presidential race, will participate in the second debate in September, a Biden adviser told CNN Friday. ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis will serve as moderators for the September 10 debate. More details of the event, including rules, location, staging, and format, are not yet decided, according to ABC News. Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down as many Democrats and media members display hysteria following a disastrous Thursday debate. Biden mumbled, sounded raspy, and appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. Even...

Interim Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile is coming under fire Monday after a newly released WikiLeaks email indicated she gave Hillary Clinton’s team an explicit heads-up about debate questions last spring. In one exchange, released in Monday’s batch of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s account, Brazile apparently wrote to Podesta ahead of the March 6 Democratic debate in Flint, Mich. “One of the questions directed to HRC tomorrow is from a woman with a rash,” the subject line of the email read. It continued: “Her family has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will...

WASHINGTON — At Camp David, a movie theater and an airplane hangar have been outfitted with lights and production equipment to create a mock debate stage. At least 16 current and former aides, summoned from Washington and Wilmington, Delaware, whiz back and forth on golf carts to join President Joe Biden in strategy sessions. Biden is entering his fifth day of preparations at the presidential retreat in the woods of northern Maryland for Thursday’s debate against Donald Trump. Camp David has become the epicenter for an administration and campaign effort to help Biden shake off the rust that often comes...

Four sources told NBC News that the campaign is considering revealing Trump's running mate this week, possibly before his debate with Biden on Thursday.

President Donald Trump suggested President Joe Biden should be drug tested before their debate and agreed to take one himself. Trump and Republicans have long accused Biden of using performance-enhancing drugs to appear more agile, allegations the White House has repeatedly denied. The former president usually limited these suggestions to jokes, but he upped the ante Monday when he suggested that he and Biden should undergo drug tests before their debate Thursday. “DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. The Biden campaign dismissed Trump’s accusation, referring...

All the talk about whether Joe Biden can stand for the "debate"(How can you debate another if you're not allowed to talk to the other ?)leads me to wonder and question whether hypnotism might be a way to make a zombie appear alive with a brain.
