“Based on the hype.” It was a setup, then?

Well, there was hype, actually. There was hype in that the White House and Biden-Harris Campaign have told us how capable Biden is and repeatedly dismissed any concerns expressed about his age. They then set up this debate to showcase just how vigorous and capable Biden really is, then showed America *the worst they've ever seen of him!* They created the hype and then not only failed to deliver, they created an even greater concern than there was before. It has been a disaster and the longer the Democratic Party continues to drag this out, with every new explanation/excuse that gets rolled out (it was a cold, he was Gish Galloped, he traveled too much), with every day Biden hasn't been in public and off a teleprompter, with every MAGA-like Cult-of-Biden attack on *anyone* expressing doubts about "our man", the Party loses credibility. Voters will increasingly stop seeing a party that is dedicated to the truth (something Joe Biden ensured us he knows how to tell at his post-debate Raleigh, NC rally... with a teleprompter...), that they put country over party, that they're not beholden to the ego of one man. It begins to look like, everyone's the same. Independent voters will inevitably ask themselves, "if they're all the same, why even bother voting?"

If you bought it into the denial, it's on you. We have always known the elderly Biden has (mostly) good days and (a few) bad days. Tim counts twenty bad days over Biden's term. Only twenty! Biden on his worst day is still light years better than Trump on his best day.
