I’ve been watching/rewatching it. And I’m old enough to remember how George HW Bush was raked over the coals for the faux pas of looking at his watch during a debate or town hall. Biden’s answers were……..mostly just not enough for besting his opponent. His affect, however, was disqualifying.
the problem is that most Americans didn’t watch the debate, and the ones that did aren’t going to rewatch it, which means their “recollection” is actually just what they’re hearing about it, which is that Biden was catatonic and couldn’t talk for 90 minutes
