This is the most amazing thread I have read on this board in 25 years. Maybe primaries are the problem. No way the parties would let these two guys be the nominees.
Of course, in all our hand-wringing, we should probably remember that this debate likely matters very little. Only so many people were watching it, and out of those people, only so many of them will actually have a changeable mind.
100% we'd be in a better place as a nation right now if the candidates were chosen in smoke-filled back rooms.
BREAKING NEWS:
I just heard Niki Haley is going to attend the Dem convention in Chicago and has a contingent that is going to nominate her on the Dem ticket.

I kid. I kid.
Newsom just messed up and accidentally hinted at the truth on MSNBC. After defending Biden as the winner, when he was asked about some Dems panicking, he said, "You don't turn your back on the President because of one bad performance."
@stollcpa @TheOriginalHappyGoat @UncleMark this stupid Fing spoiler feature he learned from @larsIU They both should be banned for any further use of same
1968 rules the day. I hope you know the history to understand my meaning.
To me, the biggest problem with Trump is the fact that he refuses to trust competent people and advisors (e.g., Gary Cohn, Steve Mnuchin, etc.). The amount of turnover was staggering, the amount of people thrown under the bus was ridiculous and he refuses to listen to smarter people than himself.
You want some tinfoil hat? I will give you some tinfoil hat.
This was a really early debate. If you were going to make a switch, you need that to happen really soon. I honestly don't even know how the rules on that work as I thought you had to have paperwork filed by some point that has already passed with the states. If you are going to make a change you have to start moving on that now IMO as you may face some legal hurdles to get your new candidate on state ballots. If you are going to dump Joe, you couldn't wait until late September and October when we usually do these debates, you had to get him in front of a camera so people could see just how bad off he really is....
Tinfoil hat off.
Yeah, someone made a post the other day about how 61 or his 65 cabinet members weren't supporting him in 2024, and my first thought was, "WTF? 65 cabinet members in 4 years?"
He doesn't acknowledge anyone is smarter than him.
The political conventions can change the rules at will and do whatever they want on the floor. What a show that would be.
He claimed all the people he fired were incompetent.
He was the one who hired them.
@UncleMark Your girl Psaki: Don't sugarcoat this, it wasn't the performance Biden wanted. The Biden at the SOTU didn't show up tonight. There were hints of him at the post-debate event, but not during the debate itself. Etc.
I don't think that's really tinfoil hat territory
Oh yeah, RFK is a kook too.
Frankly, this is an incredibly dangerous time for us I think. None of what is going on here should be giving anyone in the world any confidence that a steady, reliable hand is likely to be in charge of the U.S. Our reputation took a hit tonight.
She's really being blunt. Actually, the entire MSNBC panel right now is owning up to it.
They won’t throw him out. They need to replace Harris with a competent person who will take over when he shuts down and hope voters see it
If we're talking about the same article, it was actually people immediately below Cabinet level.
He was more coherent at the after party. Maybe the drugs finally kicked in
I noticed the difference immediately. I assumed it was because he was able to fall back on his stump speech.
Whatever it was, to me the shocking part was the number more than the fact they don't like him. I have no problem believing that people who ever worked for Trump don't like him.
Biden team now claiming Biden is battling a cold, reason for poor performance.
LOL. MSNBC just put Biden and his team on blast for their poor blocking. "You win the coin toss, put him on the left so it looks like he's looking at Trump" "Better yet, just tell him to look the other way, they know where the cameras are."
Truth is, Nixon wasn't a terrible president. He was just an unethical one.
OMG. These clips will be used forever. The upcoming gifs will delight people for years! Hahahahaha
I remember watching the Kennedy/Nixon debate. It was said afterwards Nixon lost, in part, due to his poorer physical appearance. He didn’t wear makeup like JFK did, had a dark “5 o’clock” shadow of a beard, and sweated profusely under the lights.
Likewise, Biden was hurt by his pasty pallor more fitting for a casket look. Trump was so much more alert, more assertive, and more in command. I think the Democrats could sense they were in trouble even before this debate. Now, more than ever. I won’t be surprised if they come up with a different candidate soon. He was that bad…historically bad.
