Folks, I am astonished at the total abandonment of Joe Biden because of the debate. Meanwhile Trump supporters and GOP never waver from supporting him no matter how dishonest and vile he behaves everyday. Joe can and will be elected our next President. All of the fear mongering by pundits and ‘supporters’ is not helping. I am writing 200 postcards for each of the swing states. I suggest you get busy saving our Democracy by supporting Joe Biden through action instead of surrender!

I disagree. I love Joe Biden and he has done a great job, but he needs to face reality and give it up now.

This is not fear mongering. This is risk analysis. Do you know the difference?

Yes I believe I do. Appreciate your feedback.

I think what you’re observing is that Biden is a means to an end, rather than the end in and of it’s self. The end (from my perspective) is beating Trump, relegating the worst elements of MAGA back to the fringes, and preserving the Constitutional order.

Against that backdrop, the question of staying the course with Biden or switching candidates becomes purely tactical. What gives us the best chance to achieve those strategic goals? If the outcome is stay the course, then people will rally, but after last night there are legitimate questions about whether that’s the right path.

Thanks for the work with the postcards. Keep at it. I’ll join you in all the efforts if it comes to keeping Biden.

The GOP never wavers because IT IS A CULT, their loyalty is to one man. My loyalty is to the survival of America as a democracy.

45% of the voters would support Biden even if he fell asleep at the podium last night.

45% of the voters would support Trump if he gave a n@zi salute.

That doesn't mean the debate doesn't matter.

The 10% in play will only catch the highlights.... and the highlights were Biden stumbling over his own points.

To the point of incoherency.

Biden dropped the ball.

Big time.

It was a disaster.

He can't walk this one off.

But the highlights are the Supercuts shown later manipulated by each camp anyways. They usually do not come with the energy and emotions people watching live experienced. If the Biden campaign makes an ad of his speech today and fills the airways the disaster will be forgotten rather soon. So let’s give the undecided some credit that they are not that easily moved. As focus groups showed many made their mind up to not vote for Mr 45 and his performance was not any better to convince any one who is undecided. So both did not win the undecided at this point. And the race has still ways to go and usually fits the incumbent.

They’d manufacture even more than the ones they already had. Nobody actually believes that 💩 any more unless they are MAGA

Trump dropped so far in instant polls when he lied about Jan 6th, abortion and whether he’d accept election results I’m surprised he doesn’t have a concussion.

And he “walked it off” in NC this morning.

He can and probably already has.

With what, exactly?

‘He can’t walk this one off’ I disagree. Biden raised 27 million since the debate. It seems he is walking this one off.
