For months voters have been telling pollsters that they have serious concerns about Biden's age and the response has been finger wagging and telling people to get in line.

Last night's disaster just proved their point. Heck, even I have concerns now. Of course I am never going to vote for an orange rapist, but this debate has done NOTHING to assuage the fears of age.

We saw these reactionary takes in full before the SOTU. Then he kicked butt and that all went away. I’m thinking there’s been a store of people who are still worried, and now that they have proof that Biden is a mumbling idiot (he isn’t, if you actually listened to what he was talking about he did fine). I even got downvoted and laughed at when I said there are people who want to change candidates. Not even a few months later and suddenly there tons of people who want him to step down again. Odd stuff.

He needed a SOTU level performance. The showing yesterday was pathetic and has done far more damage than good. Why they pushed for this debate early is beyond me.
