I was very disappointed.
He's a smart man. Too smart to have gone into the debate without better answers to the obvious questions. He had to know they were coming and he had to know the answers had to be compelling. They weren't.
I think Liz did well in that exchange, but I didn't think it was anything like a slam dunk wipe out that everyone here was saying.
And that said, each of the candidates has had a bad debate. Some have had more than one.
I'm still open to his candidacy, and I agree. He's certainly not finished. But he's going to have to get much better real soon at personal presentation if he's going to be able to be the guy who overcomes his own baggage, perceived and real, to lead the charge against Filthy Donnie.
But I'm back to undecided and watching the numbers Laura Pour Me A Drink put out yesterday on candidates with the largest margin against Filthy Donnie in swing states. So far that's Joe. Though he has been running a lackluster campaign and he's the king of the unforced error, this number is a compelling consideration.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
