Now that CNN has told the country what to think about the debate, I'll tell you what I saw.
Trump: Treacherous, should not be within a country mile of the White House.
Biden: Very old but still much more honest, capable, and compassionate than Trump. Biden's age has never worried me, because I know that Kamala Harris is capable. It would be bad if something happened to Biden while he is in office, but we'd still be in good hands.
The talking heads on CNN did more to sabotage Biden's campaign last night than Biden did with his senior moment. There is nothing wrong with Biden's sanity. Trump's a fucking lunatic.

The format was a disaster and Trump is terrible but the debate hurt Bidens chances significantly. And the reason there are calls for him to drop out is Trump is such a horrible person.

And if you don't think the VP is important on the ticket, remember Thomas Eagleton, McGovern's running mate for a short while back in 1972?
