We are at what could be a critical point after the debate because something was clearly amiss with President Biden who has done such a great job--and not enough is known about that or about what was wrong during the debate. As a president, he must make decisions and he has, brillliantly, but as a candidate he must communicate and he failed at that during the debate. The question we who support him and must face is whether he should gracefully concede and admit that one term was enough. I do think something is wrong, perhaps a medical condition that has not yet been diagnosed. That performance was not only a cold--how could it be? I'll vote for him but my fear is that the race is too close, that what is at stake is too great to allow Trump to win because, if he does, and he might, we will lose our democracy, our Constitution and our freedom. By not allowing someone younger and stronger to take over--and there is still time--he will be making the mistake that Ruth Bader Ginsburg made. I know this may not be what you want to hear Diane and I know that we are not the deciders for this question that I raise, but I do think we are at a critical point to save our country and prevent Trump, his morally deficient persona, his desire for an autocracy and his lies to take over.
Watching Joe's performance today in North Carolina, I could only think he was very tired last night...he admitted as much & he had a cold. (He was still coughing some while he spoke today) Also, Trump used a technique called the Gish Gallop. It's a debating technique based on overwhelming the opponent with specious arguments, half-truths, & outright lies with no regard for the accuracy of the arguments. This technique makes it impossible for the opponent to refute them all withing the format of a debate. Wikipedia.
The moderators NEVER reined Trump in and let him get away with not answering any of the questions put to him..because of course, he couldn't.
