65. In the words of Ben Grimm "Don't get your panties in a twist"
Wed Jul 3, 2024, 06:31 PM
Jul 2024

Joe had a bad night. Anyone can. He keeps a schedule that I could never accomplish and I’m a “spry” 67 years old trump could only show up for “work” about 11am. He flew in from a restful and pampered maralago to put on a show. Joe could be coming out of a coma and beat the pants off the golden turd if actual issues were discussed.

Don’t pander to the rethugs. They’ve made their choice and are trying desperately to convince any reasonable people left out there that they’ve made a good choice. Joe has done a great job and continues to do a great job. I thought the debate was a fiasco for many reasons but I doubt a lot of undecided voters were swayed. For them, wait till the next debate. Chump will come out over confident thinking usual crap is all he needs. A revitalized Joe will show up having adjusted his approach. That is his strong point, he adjusts to a changing situation and finds a way to soldier thru. I’m confident if they have the next debate Joe will shine. That debate will have a greater impact being closer to the election.
