The true lesson of the attempt to astroturf a Biden replacement narrative into existence isn't the arguments we're having about it.
It's that the major America-focused media class is having a collective brain meltdown. Something got into their hive mind and flipped a switch.
But questions about the age of both candidates have been in the air since the 2020 election; Biden himself set this up as a big showdown back in May; and then he rebooted on live TV 5 minutes in on what was supposed to be his big night.
He pretty much memed himself here.
It's one debate where he was slow in the first half and fine in the second. It's one misstep, in July, against a guy a lot of us hate passionately.
This all seems overblown and manufactured.
He was not just slow (which I would not think is a big deal), he completely lost track of what he was talking about mid-sentence.
He had a bunch of good moments, Trump's own debate performance was mediocre. But you can't blow off a massive self-own on live TV.
