Agreed. I couldn’t believe he didn’t rip him apart as it would have been too easy

It was kind of funny that the CNN desk after the debate was so clearly shook by how bad Biden's performance was but then after a quick commercial break they had mostly changed their tune. They tried to keep repeating that Trump was mean and that maybe the average rube was too stupid to realize how incoherent Biden was all night. It was pretty insulting to their audience.
