Now they’re talking about their golf handicaps as some sort of pissing contest. Can’t do it anymore. G’night everybody.
Of all the bear traps for Biden to step in...golf handicap. Not one I could have predicted.

It will be interesting to see how pundits handle Trump blatantly and repeatedly sidestepping whether he will accept the results of the election.

This has been an annoying aspect of the debate. And most of these sort of debates in general including the awful ones we have going on over here at the moment. You can just sidestep a really important question by going on about something else and then the time runs out.

One on ones are much better. But again only if you have a host who is willing to pull them up when they try to dodge.
 
CNN reporting massive panic from high ranking Democrats about whether Biden should be pulled off the ticket asap. Even his biggest fans on the CNN panel are saying he's cooked.

Plenty of time left in the race for them to replace him, and it'd almost certainly guarantee a Democratic victory in the election.
I don’t really see that second part being true. Who would they get in firstly? And it would be such an easy line of attack for Trump.

Please do it. Just don’t pick Newsome

The election is going to be won by people who decide who they hate less. As soon as the Democrats get somebody competent in they'll walk to victory.

CNN of all networks going in hugely on Biden here saying his family and associates have a lot to answer for for putting him out there tonight.

If they replace Biden now there will be a 'new manager bounce', to put it in footballing terms.
 
They’ll probably just talk about something completely unrelated like trump does
TBH it doesn't really matter what they said out there - barely any voters will remember what they heard in the debates; they'll remember what they saw (Biden's blank stares, tripping over his own words, his pauses, him talking himself down blind alleys, him being helped to shuffle down the two small steps at the end of the debate by his wife, etc.)

I’m not denying there is a better person out there somewhere than Biden. I just think changing now (unless he has to for medical reasons) will just be an open goal for Trump. Kamala would be the obvious choice but she isn’t universally liked so wouldn’t be a slam dunk at all.

I mentioned this earlier but if they didn’t have the term limits Barack would walk all over Trump. Michelle probably would too but sadly neither of those are possible.

Don't you think there's a chance the Democratic party was willing to throw Biden under the bus with an early debate as there would still be time to replace him with a coherent and fitter candidate? The sacrificial lamb, so to speak.
