(12,412 posts)"It scares me: voters voice alarm and disappointment over Bidens debate performance. Even Democrats are now saying it might be time for Biden to hang up the spurs after disastrous debate."
"Ron Ringlund is the president of a machine shop in southern Wisconsin. At 71 years old, he knows what its like to keep working after many have retired and had shrugged off concerns about Joe Bidens age until last night.
"I was thinking, Well, its just the Republicans are putting that out there to make him look bad, you know but he looked bad last night, said Ringlund, who said he usually votes for Democrats, and views Donald Trump as a threat to democracy. Wisconsins neck and neck right now, and just one thing can make the difference. And I think last night could have been the difference, and it scares me.
"After Bidens difficult debate performance on Thursday, Democrats and independent voters in swing states say they are increasingly disappointed and alarmed by the choice before them in November."
