He’s done the creepy whisper into the microphone about five times already. I guess he thinks that’s gravitas? I think it just makes him sound like an asshole.

I sincerely hope he does well tonight.

I'm not holding my breath, though.

He sucks, as expected, but I don’t think enough for them to take the car keys away. So far, anyway.

On China: rambling but really pretty good—for Joe. That’s fine with me.
It’s really pitiful though.

Not ready to talk to Putin??

"Putin is not ready to talk" That's because a real leader would force him be ready to talk. You don't wait for your enemies to bridge the gap, you force their hand...guy has no idea what he is doing.

The advising Golda Meir lie came up again.

Refresh my memory - when was Israel attacked with ballistic missiles?

Wow, yelling now.

The whole “well…anyway” thing he keeps doing mid sentence is his tell that he is losing his train of thought all the time now.

Calling Zelensky President Putin, and calling Kamala Vice President Trump. That well enough for you?

His presser did not turn skeptics into believers and he clearly lost his train of thought more than once.

The fix was first shown when he announced who he was supposed to call on for questions.

The Trump as the VP was a problem and it was compounded at the end when he was asked if Kamala polled showing she had a better chance of beating Trump, would he bow out and he replied that he'd only bow out if it was shown she had a better chance of beating Trump.

If you thought Joe was shaky and not all there, this event did nothing to change your mind and if you're a believer in Joe, this event didn't help him erase doubt.

I'm sure the donors are already working the phones telling the DNC there will be no more money until Joe's gone.

It could have been much worse. Of course, when I have such low expectations of him, it didn't take much to exceed these expectations.

Foxnews is ripping him to shreds, mostly by just showing clips of him brain-locking over and over again.

best case scenario is that he did well enough to get through the convention, then about a month later a few cards fall outta the deck...and they're stuck

My guess is tomorrow or Monday he's forced/bribed out. This presser/campaign speech isn't enough to galvanize the left behind him. If anything tonight will unite and embolden the party's effort to remove him.

This is my dream of dreams. Just get through the convention Brandon! You can do it!

I'm hoping this debate ends up as a push. The Dems wanting him out VS the Dems backing him. Hopefully then, he can hang on until the convention.

Then we can all watch the meltdown.
