(11,635 posts)that doesn't mean much - except to those who take the talking heads seriously.
Most people I follow on Twitter were seeing him going down - as I was.
He often was not convincing, did carry through with clear thoughts. etc.

W_HAMILTON
(7,864 posts)It's obvious he's still shaking off the rust a bit, but you can tell he's getting back to his normal self and when I think back to what moments I remembered most from tonight, he had a few of them (his opening statement, his rebuttal to Gillibrand's silly attack, and his closing statement).

(11,949 posts)They will be beside themselves.
He didnt screw up. That all that matters in this dog and pony show. Once narrowed down to a comprehensible number of candidates he will shine.

(3,030 posts)Got his website URL wrong and said we can't afford "8 more years" of Trump.
Odd that he was better on his feet than just reading his prepared remark.
Overall good performance though.

(8,231 posts)and then the polls come out with a big middle finger to what you think Joe needs to do.
Here's what I see happening. Just like rump supports gonna harden around Biden and he's gonna get cut a lot of slack.

Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)They're stating what is true: Biden did well enough - but didn't have a dominating performance like Warren had last night. Biden was in a tough spot getting hit from all sides. He handled it well, though.

GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)He knows this is just the dog and pony show stage Once the real contenders are alone on the stage it will matter.
His job was not to screw up. In future debates policy matters will be more important.
He understands the long game and did not need to throw any hail marys.
His opening statement did the trick for him.

(7,447 posts)Came out of it better than the last debate from an energy standpoint? Yes.
Right now the only person who has had two flawless debates is Warren. Everyone else has had some issue...of course the other three of the top four have been attacked more than her so that explains some of that.
But Biden didn't do anything to drop out of first so from that view he's fine but when we move from the practice debates to the real ones he and others will need to step their game up and yes that includes Harris.

Not enough time, Questions that were geared to disrupt etc..
Debates are tough and they all took and gave it.. I hate it honestly, but every season we settle down and come together. (Most of us with brains at least).
