Yes. Unfortunately for all of us, being lucid, alert, and engaged at a political rally (an event attended almost unanimously by sympathetic partisans) is perhaps the least valuable venue on the face of the planet for Biden to have figured out how to be that way. Outdone arguably only by being that way while alone on the toilet.

Perhaps the writers of this script didn't want to present us with a boring good triumphing over evil, but instead a nailbiting cliffhanger.
Biden will need to do live interviews and probably with audiences. He can still recover if he was just having a off day.
Tbh i think Biden was on something today at his rally. Legal like a shot of B12 or whatever along those lines. I sus that if Biden went into last night like he was today trump would accuse him of being "on drugs" legal or otherwise and really run with it, questions be damned.
If anything, this dramatic one-day recovery pisses me off even more. Bro, we needed that kind of energy last night! The race was already in a perilous state to begin with.
Well, reality did jump the shark in 2016, so I suppose that keeping the divine court entertained is ever more difficult....
I'll admit, seeing the post-debate coverage has left me genuinely surprised that I had any confidence left in our fourth estate to lose.
Here's the thing, he was back to his normal energetic and on top of things self today. Which tells me yesterday was an aberration.
I'm speculating he was given some kind of drugs for his cold and it had nasty side effects. I've had those side effects from the wrong cold meds.

We are.
For those that care about the truth, sure. But the public doesn't care about the truth. Most of them rank feels and impressions over honesty and reliability, probably because they're unable to assess honesty and reliability. That's the realization that makes Trump act like he does, and he's brought his whole party over to operating that mode. But he wasn't the first to realize it. It's an insight that comes from advertising and psychology.
I wonder why the media isn't giving as much attention to Trump's insane clown lying rambling gibberish.
If the GOP was even 1/8 sane they should be looking for a new candidate.
hahahahhahahaah who am I kidding. As long as Trump can hold a Sharpie he is theirguy useful idiot.

I mean, sure, there is some of that going on, a least presuming that people like the rank feels of greasy car salesman*. But, I don't think that's all there is to it. I honestly think we have serious problems with how the media approaches things like context that only serve to exarate that kind of trend.
* A feel so clean that Trump can, realistically, only aspire to it.

Most of the conversation here is being duplicated in the already-existing federal election thread, so let's go ahead and move over there, thanks!
