... performance. I think it was stupid going into this thing (it sure wasn't a debate) without live fact checking and pushing TFG to respond to the questions put to him, Joe Biden answered every question with facts and plans.

It bugs me that an off night for Biden negates his accomplishments of the last four years, but being a convicted felon means nothing about TFG.

He may not have inspired voters last night, but he certainly didn't lose any issues oriented Democrats or independent voters to TFG, either.

I think your heart and mind is in the right place, and I look forward to celebrating Joe's landslide as I know you will, too.

Then we can have the discussion over age we both agree about. We need to put a stake in TFG's candidacy first.
