In her Daily Beast article recommending that Jill Biden advise her husband to withdraw, JF seemed a little on the fence. Maybe I’m reading into it my ambivalence. The debate was a shit show. I think it’s fair to say that Trump’s performance was every bit as bad as Biden’s performance but in a different way. And, Trump’s performance is not news. Everyone’s been afraid that Biden’s too old and frail. He seemed to confirm this. The best thing I’ve come across in all the hubbub after the debate is an article in The Atlantic published long before the debate, “How to Beat Trump in a Debate” by Mehdi Hasan.
Biden and his debate prep team blew it. Maybe that’s inexcusable. Biden looked feeble and incompetent. He no doubt felt flummoxed and furious. Aren’t we all when confronted with Trumps bullshit and bluster? I don’t think being and looking elderly is a disqualification. I don’t think being made sputtering mad by Trump is a disqualification. Is Biden incompetent? I think Jill Biden is the person best placed to answer that question. I think we know her answer.
