What's really disturbing about the debate fiasco is there's no way to be confident that Biden has it in him to pull off the near-flawless execution he'll need to win at this point.
At a minimum, the Bidens owe us a real conversation about that.
My take:

it's an extraordinary claim. Biden is solidly within MoE of a win *right now in the polls* and there are good reasons to think that the snapshot polls are structurally underestimating Biden relative to where he'd be if we were voting.
We had one! It was the Access Hollywood tape. But it was up to the GOP to decide that it stuck, and they went the other way. So there’s no such thing as a knockout. Just convictions & losses in courts & at the ballot. (Chanting, ritualistically) Fuck Mike Pence. Could dropped support. But: coward.
