Republicans rally around their guy no matter what.

Even if these people thought Biden did poorly, what is gained talking about it to the media? How does any Democrat gain from the media narrative that they are in a panic and want Biden to drop out?

This is insane. Every single Democrat should have said Biden showed himself as a calm leader among the chaos that is Trump.

I don't care if they don't believe it.

And we wonder why the post-debate spin always sucks?
