Let's use this thread to discuss this evening's interview. I just saw a short clip that they've released and I'm not confident this will be doing him much good.

If Brandon can't ace an edited interview, with prescripted questions, done by a lifetime DNC operative..., he deserves to be drug out of the White House by his heels Tonight because he's putting the entire world at risk by staying there...

Sounds like they had to retape it as he was so bad the first time.

As soon as Jeopardy is over, I'm switching over.

I can’t stomach listening to old people babble, so let us know if it’s actually worth watching and going to change minds. It’s a high bar at this point

No way it changes minds. I'm tuning in for the train wreck. If Biden gets dumped, this will be the night that seals the deal.

 

[mohoosier]

Joe just identified as a Black Woman. I'm interested to hear the details tonight

To be clear, Silver is talking about politics, not governance. He's saying it's better politically to hand the baton off to Harris.

Joe's so funny...same ole shit. Health care for all, cheap drugs for all, get the taxes in order...jeez

I’m pretty sure Biden did have a cold on debate night. I listened to the first 30 minutes on radio driving home, and I was stunned at how weak and raspy his voice was. I got a phone call while listening and said, “Biden sounds absolutely awful. Can’t even hear his answers, his voice is so hoarse and weak.” That’s not an excuse, however, and it may even amplify why he’s no longer fit for office.

 

[mohoosier]

Joe's awesome!!! Damn he's done it all. I just didn't realize it!!

I might just vote for him!!!

 

[Marvin the Martian]

So we should put you down in favor of healthcare only for the elite and higher drug prices?

Read the article above where Joe recently identified as a black woman.

From that piece...
Axios, citing people close to the president, said Biden worked best between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and struggled to function outside that window.

wrong angle Marv

 

[mohoosier]

he's gone...

Sad to watch, embarrassing and most of all dangerous to the security of our nation.

 

[Marvin the Martian]

wrong angle Marv

Allowing Medicare to negotiate prices was a good idea. They are the largest purchaser of drugs in the world, it is somewhat criminal we did not leverage that volume like any corporation would.

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

It wasn't terrible. He's okay, I guess? But he didn't do anything to gain any ground back. He's still going to lose.

 

[Marvin the Martian]

Yep, he came across ok. He is never dynamic, and frankly that is what he needs to be to erase what happened. Treading water when down is bleeding.

If I were a Democratic strategist, I would still recommend dropping out in favor if Harris. I don't honestly think that works, but I think it has a better chance than staying in.

The problem is he acts like the election is the finish line as opposed to the start of something that will go on for almost five years from now

Because it's true. The people who make decisions that matter won't care which corpse is technically in office.

I certainly would be polling heavy in Senate battleground states. That's the rub, I think Harris plays worse in Montana and Ohio. I am not sure about Arizona. Divided government should be the goal at this point. Lose the presidency, hold the Senate and take the House. Whomever does that best.

Divided gov is both side’s hedge

YES! I think a second Trump presidency is a fait accompli at this point, so we need to win as much Congress as we can get our grubby hands on.

 

[stollcpa]

That was a waste of time.

 

[ulrey]

Orange man bad.

Brilliant.

Turned out I couldn't watch. I take it he didn't help himself?

 

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

He didn't fall over and land on his nose, but he also didn't hit a home run. Or a single, even.

 

[mcmurtry66]

Said it was a bad night. He’s a liar. A selfish ahole like the rest. They’re all coming out saying the debate wasn’t an anomalous event. Good riddance Joe Biden. You were a true politician

Turned out I couldn't watch. I take it he didn't help himself?

Here's a decent breakdown of how it went:

Biden offers shocking excuse for poor debate performance

The 81-year-old again blamed being sick and exhausted for the meandering spectacle, even though he had been recuperating at Camp David for seven days.

Vintage Brandon basically... Even when he's seemingly coherent and spray tanned he's pathetic...

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

Allowing Medicare to negotiate prices was a good idea. They are the largest purchaser of drugs in the world, it is somewhat criminal we did not leverage that volume like any corporation would.

And yet you have supported the obvious criminal swamp creatures for 70 yrs...

Everyone has a confession, when on their death bed. Hurry and repent Marv, before it's too late.

 

[Morrison]

Turned out I couldn't watch. I take it he didn't help himself?

I thought it was only a notch better than the debate. He reinforced the age issue with a lot of stubbornness and denial mixed in.
