It's very telling that the people saying POTUS should step aside, are not saying the rapist should drop out.

9. It's telling, but perhaps not in the way you imagine

First of all, there really haven’t been many insistent calls that Biden step down, only people daring to broach the subject and consider what the best strategy might be.

What telling about this for Republicans is what we already know: They either believe his lies or don’t care that he lies.

When it comes to the media, it’s telling that they’re primarily addicted to the horse race and not the good of the country. The media knows that Trump didn’t disappoint Trump supporters, but that Biden did disappoint many of his supporters.

When it comes to people on DU who are simply worried about the effects of last night’s debate, whether they specifically broach the idea of Biden stepping down, or just express general anxiety about possible repercussions, it’s most certainly not that they give Trump a pass for lying. It’s that they rightfully worry that too much of the electorate apart from strong Democrats will give Trump that pass.
