Maybe this is a bit
but is it possible Biden and/or his debate preppers got "psyched out" by all of the Republican accusations of Joe being drugged with "performance enhancing" drugs before the debate that he/they felt that he had to tone down his performance? I'm not saying he tried to tank the debate but was that in the back his/their minds going into the debate? Although I'm sure that fatigue and a reported cold might have naturally played a factor but I just wonder if he/they felt like they had to try to battle those, admittedly ridiculous, assertions, which helped to paralyze/slow him down some? I've never heard anybody talk about this but just wondering all the same......

(56,260 posts)Joe was deemed to have lost the debate apparently because Joe gave a solid B+ performance when he's capable of giving an A, while Donnie gave an unmitigated F when that's all he's capable of.
Donnie's lies and incoherence and confusion and baseless attacks and insane proposals and signs of dementia don't matter because Joe wasn't in top form on one particular night.
The entire post-debate media shitstorm reeks of right-wing propaganda.
*read the transcript* then tell me how Biden lost.
It's all bullshit.
But, what I think doesnt matter.
