Within the context of what Schiff was actually trying to say ... Which was that Biden has been an exemplary president and leader in every respect - with the only mark against him being his age. The right and their media minions have been hammering the 'sleepy Joe', halting, unsteady, barely functional thing for literally months now (long, long before the debate) .. and have made inroads there. And finally - all other things being equal (which of course they are not) Trump-Biden shouldn't even be a contest.

Adam Schiff is not at all a dumb guy - and he is clearly behind the president.
And this sound bite is actually being 'spun' out as something that it is not.
