I didn’t watch it. I have read some transcripts and watched some clips. Short takeaways:
- Biden created NATO. Neat trick for… what, a six year-old?
- Biden expanded NATO when no one thought it could be done. Huh?
- Biden stopped Putin. Apparently no informed Putin.
- Biden won’t take a cognitive test.
- Biden already had a independent medical exam. So release the report.
- Biden is massively ahead in all the polls.
- Biden will only drop out of the race if God comes down to Earth and tells him to drop out. As I recall Christian prophecy, elections will be the least of our probs when God returns to Earth.
- Biden did poorly in the debate because Trump was yelling at him when Trump’s microphone was off.
- Oh, and because he was tired from all the travel, and the week at Camp David wasn’t enough because he was sick (but not too sick to go to a diner afterwards, or campaign the next day).
- Nobody can draw crowds like Joe Biden. By which I think he means small crowds that can’t even fill a school gym.
CNN’s Van Jones says Biden was detached from reality. Which anyone at CNN should be an expert on.
All this, of course, is exactly why I do not want Biden to withdraw.
