Who here is a Castro supporters? Anyone?

Castro was snarky and mean last night. He was a bully and fabricated the whole statement. False false !!

I don't respect you, I'm sorry Mr. Castro.

to claim Castro was right. Despite all the video proving he was not. But yeah, right or wrong (which would be the more forgivable), the issue for me is how he attacked Biden in the most ageist manner making the worst implications. Talk about desperation. I think I will avoid discussing it further because to be honest, I hate seeing candidates self-destruct. I am convinced he has all but done so with this stunt.

Low single digits on most polls. Guess he figured that, regardless of what he said or whether it was truthful or not, that there was no way to go but "up".

He gained not one thing last night. But worse than that, he handed Trump a video clip to use in an anti-Biden ad. But worse than that still, his attack was illegitimate because Joe Biden hadn't forgotten anything. Castro demonstrated amazingly poor judgement, and then this morning he doubled-down on last night's mistakes by blaming the media and denying he'd done what we all heard him do.

From a strategic perspective, it's hard to do worse.

Obama under the bus last debate, this time tried to claim his healthcare plan was what Obama had intended! He shot himself in the foot and then proceeded to try to hop up and down on it.

Something to the effect that this is why people hate watching debates and hate Washington.
