Biden tells donors he had a 'good night' in debate but 'could have done better'

"Last night I thought was a good night," he said at a Houston fundraiser. "I think I could have done better. I will do better, God willing."

Biden also said he felt that he faced fewer attacks than he'd faced in the party's first two presidential primary debates.

"It seems like most people have stopped criticizing me on the debate stage, given what happens to them," Biden said, according to a video clip a donor who was in the room provided to CNN. The donor said the crowd broke out in laughter.

"I mean look, look -- last night was the closest we came to a debate, OK?" Biden said. "We actually had an open debate on health care, and I felt very good about the debate on health care."

"What I saw last night was fewer personal attacks," he said, adding that he is "getting more and more comfortable with the way the debates are moving."

that Biden is our best chance to win the Electoral College which is state by state. Too many folks are focused on who they like and not on who can win. As long as we have the Electoral College, it's a numbers game. We have only one chance at this. Let's not blow it.
