Will we see a shakeup of Joe's campaign staff? (Poll)

[orangecrush]

Take this as criticism from an armchair, but why they let him take the stage as ill as he was perplexes me.

If they had rescheduled due to the flu or whatever, the blowback would be nowhere close to what we are going to get now in the way of ads showing clips from the debate.

Again, I'm just talking out my ass, but I wonder if heads will roll.

1. Should have rested Joe and his voice.

To be honest: Tired and old is not a good look.

Just for that, the chief of debate prep should be busted down to gopher.

Someone should have prepped Joe on projection -- it's what stage actors (and clowns, thanks Donnie Dipwad!) do.

Don't fire the former CoDP, as the new gopher might come up with an idea to make up for the error.

3. True

Thanks for the reply.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. This was Biden's call

Biden signed off on this decision, and then he , for whatever reason, failed to deliver.

To point the finger at staff would be an abdication of responsibility on Joe’s part.

[orangecrush]

4. I believe

Joe took the advice of the team.

Perhaps they were so eager to see the results of their coaching win, they ignored other factors, we'll never know.

[RiverStone]

6. Yep. Very sadly, his lack of ability to recognize this is part of the big concern

We all have bad days or nights, and Joe at his worst is a far cry better than the orange fascist. Though it does not take being a Dr. to see that for whatever reason, President Biden was greatly diminished physically (and it impacted his thinking).

8. I suspect he took some NyQuil or something similar to ease his cold symptoms.

That kinda med can hit the elderly hard.

[Polybius]

9. 100% true

Just watch 2012's debate with Biden and Paul Ryan. Biden crushed him.

10. 12 years is a long time.

[BeyondGeography]

5. He has a great staff by all accounts

It’s the candidate who dropped the ball.

[orangecrush]

14. Respectfully disagree

They shouldn't have let him go on.

Just my 2 cents.

[TheFarseer]

7. You can have the best strategy in the world

And if you can’t execute it, it’s not the coach’s fault. You can say you should have a different strategy, but honestly, what strategy do you really think Joe could have executed at a high level?

[stopdiggin]

11. because somebody besides Joe was up at that lectern?

sorry - this 'find someone to blame' finger pointing is (IMO) a game played by the craven and sycophant.

And, knowing my Joe - he'd probably be the first one to say ...

[quaint]

12. Congrats on 20,000!

And I'll stick my small foot in my big mouth and say...the debate preparers knew what the format was but coached long answers.

[orangecrush]

16. Wow

I have hit 20,000!

Thanks, I didn't even notice!

[KentuckyWoman]

13. I'm going with "Robb is a dingbat"

Joe did fine. The media is going to whoop up the crowds for ratings.

15. Not blaming Joe at all.

He was obviously sick, his mike volume was half of Trump's to the point where I was straining to hear him, while Dumps big mouth blew me out of my chair, and they cued Joe to look at the wrong cameras so it appeared he was never speaking to the viewers. No such problem with Trump.
I almost had to buy a new t.v., as I had the definite impression CNN ratfucked Joe.
