President Biden's debate performance overall was not horrible, the first 20 mins were awful I agree, Trump however continued to lie for another 70 mins.

Trump was himself, Biden was not. Don’t try to downplay it as a bad day. that doesnt happen to my 84 year old dad. I am a doctor that spends a lot of time with old folks, something is up.

Biden was not feeling well. Also, he's not an actor (as is tffg). Biden is not perfect but he is honest and reliable. I believe his mind is good and he has good people working with him. I'm sure he would like to rest, but he loves our country and will save our democracy. Who would you suggest to take his place?

Well, I would CERTAINLY suggest either Kamala Harris or Gretchen Whitmer. In fact, I now think BOTH of them should run on the ticket, because I think we can't really take Kamala off as she has been VP for almost 4 years, but Gretchen would be the strongest candidate in the states that are "swing". This is a NARROW election in which the important thing is to win 4 of the states out of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. And those two women, who on every talkshow, every news program, both appear FAR FAR superior intellectually to Biden at this point (regardless of whether they actually are or not, right now appearance is the MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF WINNING) can do it. I believe Biden can not any more.

You need to face the reality... Many people now have and they are starting to come out of the woodwork. We are in the last dying days of the Biden campaign and I am hopeful that it will help turn this election around.

No other choice, really.

Do you believe in Ronald McDonald too?

People not feeling well don't have a blank stare, fumbling speech, monotone and weak voice, loss of thought. That's called dementia.

You are insulting everyone's intelligence with the spin.

As for saving democracy? What did you call the COVID lock down? A police state? Locked in your home, fired from your job, and your free speech censored? That sounds a lot like a loss of democracy.

Really???..are you a neurologist????....Most of what Biden said was accurate though he fumbled etc...Yeah...If you are exhausted...not feeling well..jet lagged, plus over prepared...and met with GISH Gallop by your opponent.(in Wikipedia...produces Confusion)..that changes your conclusion that it is dementia...AND you need a neurologist/give a full test...PLUS since and before debate no repeat scenarios...REMEMBER he has a stuttering problem LIFELONG which Does produce speech fluidity problems (gaffes) and can produce thought delays as well...BUT this is Rarely mentioned as a Logical explanation...Look it up!!!

James, would you please share your credentials/experience that entitle you to pronounce that Biden, or anyone, has dementia? Because that is a strong, strong statement and I would like to be reassured that anyone making such a diagnosis about the POTUS has the necessary training to do so. Thank you.

This is too stupid to believe.

As Wittgenstein said "What is it when EVERYTHING speaks in favor of something, and nothing against it"

These are the symptoms:

Memory Loss

Lack of Concentration

Weak Voice

Fumbling Speech

Poor Concentration

If you want to claim on a public post that this is all untrue you are a fool. No one believes you. The media has been lying about his condition for years.

The blank stare, the fumbling speeches, and physical instability.

Who exactly do you think you are convincing?

James, I don't know why you are so angry. Or why you feel the need to attack me.

this is how I feel. I feel Biden is a good person. He's also been a great president. For some reason people think he should be perfect... well, he's human. As I asked before, who would suggest should take his place?

Biden is a terrific person. But he is going to lose this election. That is pretty much as plain as day. I do NOT seek perfection. But I do seek someone who can win. Biden himself was asked what happens if you don't win and his answer was "As long as I know I did the best i could, I will be fine." That is the answer we give in elementary school if we lose the spelling bee. That is NOT the answer you give when you are in the race to save our democracy. "The best you could" isn't good enough.

Really. Does Trump a his support ers deserve that respect?

He has been a terrible president.

The border is a mess

Core inflation is 25-30%

Foreign policy is a joke

Not by any metric is good president

These are the facts not feelings

Debate was not horrible? What were you watching?

By the way name 1 lie?

Biden lied blatantly about being endorsed by the Border Patrol Union. During the debate the Union tweeded "We have never endorsed Joe and never will"

It takes a lot stones to lie like that.
