https://www.brookings.edu/articles/will-bidens-debate-performance-turn-out-to-be-fatal-or-just-a-bad-night/ I think the corporate Democrats (Elephants in Donkey suits), which really control the Democratic Party, are unhappy about his attempts to bust monopolies and regulate business who are driving this effort to stampede the party's rank and file with fear. The noise is ALL about his appearance and not about his ability to present evidence or statistics to back up claims . That never occurred in the debate by his opponent. Follow the substance.

Of the options, despite the best efforts of corporate media like the the NYT to spin this and then quickly shut down comments, of the two I still prefer the one with the cold/flu, the raspy voice, but who nevertheless backed most statements with evidence and had it together enough to actually hear and respond to facilitators' questions—more so than the one that responded to the question about climate change with a diatribe about immigrants.
You nailed it Mr. Nuhfer. Thank you.
Thanks, Gerald!
