I also like you SuZie, BUT miraculously today Biden was back to normal? Did he act old yesterday? Did he throw the debate? Will he throw the next debate? After appointing Garland, I cannot trust him!

Also, Garland has been Biden's worst mistake. We are in the situation we are in because of him and his refusal to act in a timely manner. Garland appointed Jack Smith almost TWO years into his tenure, and then appears to have given Smith little to no support. It's been four years and zip has been done about the attempted coup. If we lose our democracy, it is squarely on Garland's head. He couldn't have done worse if he had attended the Trump rallies and cheered. Biden, for his part, should have fired him six months in. I personally believe Garland is a closet MAGA Republican. Nothing else accounts for his behavior.

Biden's biggest blind spot is that he came up in politics in a time where there was a compromise, collegiality, and cooperation. He still thinks if he's nice enough he can get the Republicans to be reasonable. Obama, who should have known better, followed the same path. Republicans are not reasonable. As Biden put it Trump has the morals of an alley cat and they LIKE that because they are in that alley with him. They are sharks who smell blood in the water. Taking the high road has been foolish in this environment.

I doubt Biden threw the debate. Trump was given carte blanc by CNN to spend the entire time lying with no calling him out on it. Biden spoke the truth. Trump strutted before his audience.
