(2,020 posts)and allowed for a full primary. Kamala Harris may still have emerged as the candidate, but we needed that enthusiasm and momentum to get the party engaged. A huge issue is that the Rs turn out and vote every time in rabid numbers. They don't switch sides. We keep hyper focusing on trying to change the minds of a few republican independents when honestly, that isn't going to happen. They're going to vote republican. Our problem is our voters don't show up on election day. We need to get our voters engaged. We would have been better served if Joe had dropped out early in order to have a full primary.
There was no way he was coming back after that disastrous debate. He had spent too long avoiding the cameras and staying out of the public eye and not speaking publicly and for all the "Joe Biden is senile and losing his mind" and "86 is too old to be president" stuff that was getting tossed around, it was disastrous. I don't believe he's senile or losing his mind. I think he had a bad night, doesn't debate well in general, and is slowing down some, but still gets the job done, but Trump had a great night, and the appearance was that Joe was too far gone, not sharp, and Trump was quick as a whip. It was a disaster.
