Trump is a uniquely weak candidate: he has felony convictions, innumerable scandals, a bad and recent track record of governance, and what’s uniformly recognized as an odious, repugnant character. But he has something Biden doesn’t: the ability to campaign. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I disagree. Biden had a bad night but is campaigning very well and has a huge ground operation going. #ReelectPresidentBiden

Gavin Newsom would have destroyed trump in last night’s debate. That’s what was needed. Instead Biden whispered and mumbled facts that were barely legible and let a lying bully effectively kick sand in his face

“Can’t win?” Based on a debate that will move exactly zero votes in November? Huge over-reaction that will not age well.

What a ridiculous statement.

Don’t be fucking stupid. Of course he can win, and probably will.

He’s what we’ve got. So we have to do what we can to ensure he does win. He can. He has to.

Ignore the last four years and just concentrate on one debate performance. Good one.

As a non-American, looking at the situation from the outside, I am thinking that when the official nominee has not yet been selected by the DNC, why on earth would it not be possible to consider other potential candidates?

I'm American and I think lots of liberals have a backwards conception of voting. Instead of politicians providing a platform to voters to win their vote - voters are expected to vote for corporatist democrats who have enormous war chests of cash. The amount of $$$ in American politics is insane.

Good column. This was a widely watched debate. A few independent voters I know tuned in the hopes that the word about Biden being too old would prove wrong. In their eyes he only has to do OK. He didn't and now they are resigned and depressed. They may not vote in November.
