Thanks to those who joined our debate watch party in Substack Chat. I’ll plan to do more of these as milestone events leading up to the election take place.
Here is my reaction to the first presidential debate between President Biden and Donald Trump. It was a disaster of the first magnitude for Biden. The Democratic Party will have a Chernobyl-level panic, and there will be calls for Biden to step aside in the 2024 election for younger, rising stars in the party.
The election that no one wanted revealed itself tonight. There's just no way that Joe Biden can stay on the ticket and lead the Democratic Party to certain catastrophic defeat, turning the country over to the greatest threat to its democracy since the Confederacy.
Donald Trump lied the entire time. President Biden spoke softly but I heard his honesty and compassion and accomplishments loud and clear.
Biden was exactly who I expected him to be and he. Also had a cold. I didn't expect anything more or anything less. His record speaks for itself. And I think that is volumes. Unfortunately, we have a media that plays on histrionics and catastrophizing. Anything that doesn't model a egocentric. Academy award-winning performance and that the liar who is used to grand standing gets The Pass. This is bullshit. We need to support Biden. He will never allow this country. To falter, he will always defer to others around him and make the right decision period
