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.

Sure, but that’s not going to help him. You don’t win debates by being right, you win them by being persuasive.

Nobody expected Trump to go out there and tell the truth, but they hoped Biden would be able to expose his lies to a national audience and make him look like the clown that he is. If Biden can’t do that, it’d be nice if the candidate was someone who can.

Of course it will help him.  Me and the other guy are voting for him for this very reason. And so are, let me check my notes, the 10s of millions of women who want freedom of choice over their own bodies.
