I waited a couple of days before listening to this because of the immediate reactions to the debate on Friday. I did not watch the debate because it’s painful for me at any time and always have ignored them. I am a high information voter and a reliable Democrat so right up front, I’m still “Riding with Biden”. I try to read/listen as much as I can from all kinds of viewpoints and I am willing to change my mind. I appreciate all of you and your analysis and thoughts on the debate and the aftermath. If the Democratic convention blows up, then I’ll guess I’ll have to deal with it then. The folks I talk to in my immediate circle are hanging in with Biden because Trump is a disaster. A lot can happen in the next few months. You know what I would like to see? More emphasis on Trumps crimes, his narcissism and his own issues with competency. I wish our Media outlets would do better with all of those but everyone is looking for revenue and Trump sells. I understand I’m not saying anything important but Bulwark folks, I appreciate you even when I vehemently disagree with you.

Well stated. A silver lining from Thursday's debate is it has made ALL Democrats passionate again about having the best presidential candidate to put forward against Trump. Passion has never waned on the left regarding a Trump defeat but it has been diluted with respect to the Democratic candidate likely poised to take on Trump. The internal fire now is a good thing however it manifests itself, we just need to make sure we keep it burning through November 5th.
