No, no one expects a Tik Tok performance, but they do expect clear, intelligible responses. Yes, on the substance Joe wins but on his performance he lost. Let’s not kid ourselves about that. 74% of the American public now believes he is too old to be president. We cannot just pretend that is not true.

Last thought for tonight: If you read this essay about what the mainstream press did NOT report about Joe Biden, it will help you understand you are being stampeded into a belief about Biden that's not true...
I do not need you to tell me about the mainstream press and how I am being stampeded. I am not being stampeded. I watched it myself. I look up polls and other data myself. Stop already with this condescending nonsense.
Is a President a”performer” now? How do you think you would fare standing 8 feet away from a lying bully, who only repeated the same mantras he always does instead of answering questions.
Yes, the president is a performer. All politicians are. That’s kind of their job. They do their job by performing speech acts. It is what democracy is founded on. I would also have trouble dealing with Trump’s bullying and lies, but I am not running for president. But I do know how to handle it. You don’t respond to the mantras, but present your own vision. Which the president failed to do.

The probability of that being true seems rather low, after reading.

In the debate, as set up, one had to answer the questions, which he dud. In a speech, you present your vision, which he has done.
Is he too old? Yes. Can he do the job? Find me someone better enough that Joe can say, "OK, you've got this."
