... that Biden was suffering from jet lag after a whirlwind tour, during which he became ill, resulting in a low-grade fever. He should have postponed the debate just for the fever alone. His diminished capacity as a result gave the weaselworld of Tappers, et cetera, all the excuse they needed to pile on. The rest is history.
What REALLY pissed me off was the number of Democrats that joined in that despicable feeding frenzy. The distorted optics of one night canceled out four years of remarkable accomplishments that the dirtbag Democratic message machine failed miserably to broadcast.
Biden was a great president, and he deserved better.
