Biden's opponent is a TV grifter too

Though frankly that's probably the only reason Biden still has a chance

If you go back and watch the debate last night Biden was more on point when it comes to the platform whereas trump was just spewing nonsense lies and self congratulatory rhetoric.

it’s interesting to see people criticize trump for speaking nonsense when biden on multiple occasions was off topic, lost track of what he was talking about, wasn’t speaking loudly

If trump had half the performance of Biden I'd love to see what the media would be saying.

I commend trump for his character in the debate. He didn't once make fun of Bidens speech besides a comment that he didn't know what Biden meant and that Biden didn't know either. Trump could have destroyed him but he held back likely knowing it's a medical issue.

Trump played it smart, kinda held himself back overall in an attempt to seem level headed and not the convicted felon that he is and would be portrayed as. The problem isn’t about trump, the problem is about having the democrat candidate inspire voters to vote, i dont think biden inspires voters to get out and vote democrat, they need to change out biden
