Its true democrats have no spine refusing and afraid to tell Biden the obvious that he is no longer up for it, and that he should go. Democrats will lose because of it. For the first in my life I will sit out the election or vote third party

It's the other way around. Geez, what is it with the American left and their zero sense of self awareness. Or is it just projection and deceit?

otherizing people is something democrats famously support.

That has never been done in any televised debate. And the candidates would never agree to it unless it was on a network friendly to them. Trump would insist on Fox, Biden would never agree, and there'd be no debate.

CNN, now owned by a Murdoch buddy, doesn't even know how to frame a question. Listen to James O'Brien of the UK's LBC, who simply does journalism 101.

The whole thing was poorly done.

@@Sim882 I've never heard of anyone voting for a candidate based on what they say their golf handicap was, whether accurate or not. Your experience obviously differs. But when they flagrantly lie about what juries in trials have found them guilty of or what their economic record is, that is "quite different", as you state.

Too many people don't understand this simple truth. Most who watch this video are going to vote blue regardless, in part, because of the man on the other side. The problem is the undecided and whether Joe can convince them to vote for him. The man we saw last Thursday doesn't have the energy or the fire to do it. Everyone on the fence has seen him read a script from prompters. But in the back of their mind they will remember the worst debate performance in the history of this country and wonder ... is that's what is really going on behind the scenes?

BULLSHIT....Only if YOU made it that way. I heard over 30 LIES from Trump......THAT MATTERS. I did hear Biden refute the Trump lies and talk about his accomplishments with TRUTH. I'll take an honest guy who has achieved so much in less than 4 years compared to a lying convicted felon who wants to be a dictator.

Trump has his own problems that you need to be concerned with.

Yea but people will forget about the debate by the time the election comes.

You think so? Well, I don’t want Donald J. Trump back in the White House because he’s a criminal.

A judge accused him of rape which he paid over $80 million for. Con insurance companies and banks out millions of dollars! Stole top secret documents and we’re just learning now he may have sold some of them!!!

You’re not doing your job. Maybe you should be knocked out of business for lying to the American public and defending a madman. Defending a wannabe dictator you should be sick of yourselves.!

Hes done the job well. The 7th best legislative president of all time with only 4 years under his belt. The presidency is 95% the people you surround yourself with. Joes shown he can handle his 5% just fine.

160 Historians ranked presidents best to worst. Biden came in 14th. Trump came in last. Biden is old. But even with an adversarial House, he managed to pass over 140 bills. Maybe he should have not run again, but that decision should have been made a year ago. Just because he did not do well in a "debate" does not mean the other guy is a prize. Project 2025, his seeking absolute Presidental immunity, dismantling of oversight agencies, significantly weakening the guardrails of democracy, if you don't like autocracy you might want to go review that project. Is that what you want? Does it matter to you that he incited a mob to try to overturn an election? Does it matter to you that he refuses to accept the results of an election unless he wins? Does it matter to you that he has 34 felonies and from New York, NOT from the federal gov't or Biden's adiministration but from a jury of his peers? Does anything he does matter to you? Do you want to live in an autocracy? Because Biden is old? Do you not realize that the presidency is more than one guy, that there is a team behind him?

@@philliph8991 I'm confident he can do the job. But I'm not so sure anymore that he can win the election. I think a center-left Dem replacement would get all of Biden's votes and many more. I think the SAFE thing to do is get someone else in there. It could be energizing and could rally the whole country, save Trump's die-hards.

What we actually saw is Joe Biden accomplishing a lot during his three and a half years in office. How many administrations have tried to implement the infrastructure changes that have been needed? He did it! He beat Trump before he can do it again!

As a 29 year old myself and someone who would give 10 minute talks at my job, I can confirm that memorizing talking points is not an easy thing to do at any age, and it doesn't necessarily mean someone is "losing their mind" it could mean they were sleepy, especially given Biden's fiery speech the following morning.

It happens. Fetterman also froze mid debate vs Oz and still defeated him in a landslide in Pennsylvania by almost 400,000 votes only 2 years ago. And considering Trumpty Dumpty is far more hated than a Mehmet Oz who was loved by everyone on TV just be ready to lose again is all I'm saying because it's less about the person himself and more about the man's character. lol Oz was perceived as a dirt wad while Fetterman was perceived as a good human being.

who gives a crap what some delusional historian thinks? especially one that makes his business out of his little predictions and that already locked himself into saying the two hundred million years old senile demented nursing home patient was his guy and that he was gonna win? what do you think is more likely, that he actually believes his own crap about how a dude that melted down on national television in front of the entire world is gonna win, or that he's just rolling the dice and putting on a brave face and saying this to preserve his little status and predictions while praying that "goddamn, i hope they replace great grandpa or my little stunts with the predictions are gonna be toast" that way he gets to do the whole "oh well, you know, he was replaced, i couldn't have expected that" and get to make a new prediction and probably even add a new little twist into his stuff in order to spend the rest of his days coming back to this and "by the way guys, remember that time back in 2024? yeah, i'm sure the senile demented dude would have won anyways, i'm sure i would have been right, i had all of my little checkboxes ticked, it was all gonna be perfect until those silly people replaced him" for his own personal satisfaction to make himself seem more interesting? by the way, i'm not some random historian dude that makes little predictions, but i can just as easily make up my own checkboxes. 1. the checkbox about how grandpa is currently at 30 something percent approval ratings and that literally not a single incumbent in 250 years american history has ever recovered from such terrible numbers.. not once, not ever. 2. the checkbox about how the last time around he was at 50 something percent approval ratings and still barely just won by like 45 thousand votes in a few swing states. 3. the checkbox about losing like a third of his african american support and most of his muslim american support and being almost tied with hispanics against the dude that wants to do mass deportations and actually losing with young voters which makes it game over for a democrat. 4. the dementia and shaking hands with ghosts and "very productive meetings" with the heads of state from the cold war that passed away in the 1990s checkbox. 5. the checkbox about losing by 10 or 20 points on immigration, the economy, inflation, crime, gun violence, foreign policy, gaza, etc. and even being tied with trump on the whole thing about preserving democracy, and only barely winning by a few points on healthcare and abortion how about those? i think they're pretty good and a lot more grounded in reality than the hope that "pfft, don't worry guys, it's still real early, can still recover" and that the dude that can't even put together a coherent sentence is gonna be the one star in american political history that goes against all odds and that pulls off the miraculous 20 point recovery to become the first in 250 years to get reelected with such terrible numbers.

100% on point!!!

What I saw was a one-foot-in-the-grave zombie they are trying to prop-up and push to the finish line. And they have been hiding his condition from me for a long time. This is worse than just Biden being a Zombie- they knew he was like that months ago- if they had any common sense they would have limited him to one term. Biden will lose.

He's had a stutter since he was born. You can't leave that out and pretend to know what you are talking about. There's a good cgance Trump wouldn't finish a second term either, especially with Putin in charge. Trump is as much a traitor as Benedict Arnold, and he has already leaked more important national secrets than Julian Assange, in plain daylight no less.

people just don't like Trump thats the only reason Biden won before. A better candidate now would be someone younger than 60. We understand 80 can't be the starting point.

Because they don’t want Trump to win. DNC is securing a Trump victory by continuing with a cadaver

Lol, unless you have dementia yourself you would have come to the same conclusion. Go re watch it with someone that is in touch with reality, then go get yourself tested if you still don't see the problem. Also, if you watched anything else besides the corporate run media you would have realized this two years ago.

I wonder if you watched what we all watched. The president is not the one making decision. He was helped out of the stage, he cannot even walk well on his own.

​@sigsauer7929 You're not wrong. He had issues speaking in the 2020 primaries. He's a decent President, relatively speaking, but you can't continue to govern if you lose lol. Not to mention you're also ruining the credibility of your nation's leadership if you think the best option is a feeble geriatric. Ffs.

Ouch, it must hurt. Biden is exposed as a mental case.

What about joe biden saying the border patrol endorsed him when they came out and said no we didn't and when joe biden saying no troops died under his watch?Afghanistan?va better now under biden I know a fact not .Ask these questions and take the log out of your own eye.

Because it does not matter, most of my family is pro Trump and it's not the lies they despise, it's Biden s inability to deal immigration, it's inflation, they will vote for Trump, as most of my friends.

It's because MAGA lies, that's all they do. Biden is a good president, and he will remain a good president; and that's why we have arguments like this. But MAGA always lie.

because the powers at be actively rigging shit against him makes him seem saintly by comparison.

Because Trump is poised to win. Nobody is asking Biden to step down because he was immoral onstage, they're asking him to step down because he's incapable of communicating a message to undecided voters that would convince them to vote for him. Loudly and confidently lying wins if the other side does nothing to fact check when they have the chance. Biden had countless chances to set the record straight on Trump lies, but failed to do so in almost all instances. Low info voters taking the comments of the candidates at face value during the debate have no reason to trust Biden with another presidency at this point based on his performance.

Hopefully, Trump will be sentenced to jail...and just stay there.

There has been plenty of talk of that, but Donald Trump’s followers are psychotic. Our only hope is practical Joe Biden supporters somehow convincing him to release his delegates so that someone who is ready for 4 years of the hardest job in the world can defeat Donald Trump and save us from fascism.

Exactly! Because apparently the other team likes liars and racism! I think Joe Biden is brighter and sharper than he performed at the debate. He's already out there showing it. For heaven's sake even up to the moment of the debate he was traveling and meeting and up to business.

Because they don't want to see Trump win in November, and Biden cannot win this election.

Because cable news is dying and clickbait is their life support.

It is a good question. Strategically it could be because they know Biden is slipping so much that they need to replace him before it is too late.

Good points. Joe allowed himself to get rattled when trump successfully goaded Joe at the beginning by insulting his son and demanding an apology. Joe tried to argue that down but it pleased trump to see that he could get a reaction from Joe. Would have been better for Joe to ignore trump and just state points of his own.

It's a waste of time. We can't replace him unless he chooses to surrender his delegates

@@dolphinride5157so let me get this straight, we’re going up against the most dangerous/ anti-democratic candidate in the history of our country. Trump is leading in the polls and we’re putting up Biden who is old, his debate was hard to watch, felt like I was watching elderly abuse. This is the best we can do? The thing is Trump doesn’t need new voters, Biden needs to get the independent votes, and convince all of his base to go to the polls.

​​​@@rubin831 ❤ Exactly!! Another Dem candidate needs to be chosen. I see other commenters saying Biden needs to release his delegates before another candidate can be chosen. But I also saw an article saying the delegates might be able to vote for who they want anyway, but they would need to coordinate to mass-choose a candidate to pull that off.

Well based on the Thursday performance, if Biden loses the most consequential election, all the aides, Obama, Clinton, Jill are just as culpable as Joe. This was Biden v Biden not Biden v Trump. He went on the defence and would have been better served keeping the message simple for all questions. I'm out there fighting for the American people and only the American people. The other guy is fighting for himself. First and foremost because he's a convicted felon, can't be trusted around women, in fact everyday he works to take away women's right and it begs the question whether he's putting his personal troubles first and fighting all women. Any half debater would have done better than the mediocre I'm suggesting. In the end the debates are Biden vs Biden and the election is unfortunately Trump vs Trump and Biden is relying not on popularity but a repudiation of Trump and world democracy has come down to sleepy Joe. The old uncle unwilling to retire for the night therefore the family is forced to stick to the tv channel on at the time. No convincing the oldies he's past his best because he might lash out

Earpiece and a teleprompter are Biden's lifelines. Looks like they got the dosage right yesterday.

Denial is hard isn’t it?

And also he is currently Prez running the country his work load would be enormous, the orange man was out playing golf and spewing more lies at his rallies the weeks before.

He was back reading off a teleprompter and had a live crowd of supporters. Stop being delusional.

Biden did not just lose the debate- he was was DEmENTED !! Regan won but he was not clearly demented on national tv…

Bet this guy is a democratic

Unfortunately, in these days, it does it'll definitely sway some who are unsure it's just a popular vote

Want to bet?

tell that to independent voters

Then why is every far leftist media freaking out?

🤣🤣🤣👌👏👏👏 💙💙💙💙BIDEN 2024💙💙💙💙 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Biden looked barely alive up there. I thought the whole point of Biden in 2020 was the old guard establishment party stepping in to defeat Trump and then passing off the torch to the next generation. Party leaders are so full of it, they claim that Trump is an existential threat but then out of hubris decide to run Biden who is barely able to put a coherent sentence together. If Dems want to win they need a diffrent nominee. Not this necromancered corpse. This would be funny if it wasn't so stupid.

Wait you want to vote for a potato?

Trump ❤❤❤❤❤❤. It’s so funny that CNN went against their own party! The comments are the best!

@@energyasylum997lol! I don’t see how anyone can vote for MR. Mumbles after this debate! 😂😂

At least, Republicans know how to put on their own diapers, and feed themselves.

Yes...that is what I have been saying, too.

Yet, this was the best moderated debate heretofore. No interruptions, no cheering for stupid catchphrases. repetition of questions.

@@benjamingoldstein9156wrong!

@@benjamingoldstein9156 small hat script.

Lol what does that have to do with anything? This isn’t CNN’s fault. The guy is a walking carcass. He literally doesn’t know where he is half the time. This isn’t about stuttering or bad speech. This is way beyond that. Biden can hardly think. Why would you not replace him? If the democrats stick with this guy, there is no question they will lose this campaign. Everyone knows Trump’s lies and criminal activity do nothing to prevent him from being elected. Biden is literally gone. He is hardly capable of walking. Let alone thinking. Just put in another candidate. There is nothing shameful about that.

So you’re mad they weren’t more slanted to Biden? Moderators are supposed to be biased and argue with the one they don’t like? Is that how democracy is saved?😂

Thank you! I didn't know there was a name for it! I was watching from the uk. That was my thought EXACTLY! How on earth was Biden supposed to CONTINUOUSLY say that trump was lying, and why, whilst also explaining what he has done for the country, and what his future policies are....in 1-2 minutes! CNN, not fact checking trump's 30 lies was ridiculous too!

He looked confused before the debate started, and after it ended, and during it.

Sure. And it works. Whining about it isn't a solution. And Trump lobbed Biden some very easy shots but Biden was completely incapable of addressing them coherently. "We finally beat Medicare." WTF was that even supposed to mean?

Right. An old ploy used by many politicians, pundits and other people making KZfaq videos, such as Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson. They talk fast for long stretches, use big words, and speak confidently so it takes a while to register what they really said, what it means, and which part is true or a lie.

​@@brucetucker4847He obviously misspoke. I think he meant SAVED MEDICARE.

I don’t know what channel you was watching but for once CNN did a great job. oh wait they didn’t sneak attack Trump like you wanted they actually did a level playing field you’re used to cheating and lying. ha ha ha

Why because for the first time in 20 years they asked both candidates fair and tough questions and didn't "fact check" just the republican? You're so used to your news being spun that when it's not you can't handle it. Sad

This isn't about whether Biden would be a good, even healthy President for the next four years. It's whether he zwill (not can... WILL) beat Trump this year. This guy's model is what he is defending, here, not democracy. It is not wise to believe that something that has worked, even 100% of the time in the past, will work as understood 100% of the time in the future. For one thing, there has never been a fascist candidate running who is polling neck and neck with a democracy candidate. The polarization and the underlying political assumptions are qualitatively different now than they've ever been. While his model MAY continue to hold, it is foolish to claim with absolute certainty that they will. His attitude in this interview was highly irresponsible as a scientist, in my view. Take those "keys" into account, absolutely. But to continue to stick with a candidate who has been polling so close to someone who is actively advocating for fascism, and who just demonstrated a complete inability to absolutely clean his clock face-to-face is an incredibly tenuous position. The idea that Biden MAY still win is not near certain enough for me as someone who thinks there is no option too unconventional when it comes to saving the potential for democracy for the forseeable future. It seems to me that a strong centrist Dem would get all of Biden's votes and MANY more. It would not be as risky as people seem to think. Sure, there would be a struggle in the selection process. But the Dems know they've got to be united in November, and that would certainly be top of mind during the selection process. My .02. Let's look forward with courage and vision and faith that by doing the right thing with honor and courage, things will work out well.

But there are doctors who have made comments about this though lol

The take of someone who _is_ a doctor, with decades of experience, from a left-of-center site (although the person commenting himself is not particularly left) just two days ago (the day after the debate): “[Biden] was well into mid stage dementia during the campaign of 2019. It was obvious in his behavior and physical exam findings clearly visible on videos. Dementia issues must be evaluated by MOCAs or other cognitive tests but the corresponding physical exam findings in mid to late dementia are very obvious to a trained eye - and he had them. What we saw last night is someone in mid to late dementia.”

​​@@deadghost50ify I There are well over a thousand mental health professionals who have rushed their careers to come out and warm the US that Trump is mentally ill and a danger to the US. There are also numerous doctors who believe Trump has dementia, as he displays many signs of it. It's just that we're so used to Trump acting crazy and talking nonsense, and Joe being way off his game was shocking.

I am not a doctor, but I know that Biden has Parkinsonism. Obviously he is not running the country, but a shadow government has been making the decisions.

True, they didn’t fact check a single lie of Joe Biden. And they continue to turn a blind eye.

Really, and how would you fact check a constant rapid fire, barrages of Trump's lies in 90 minutes? It easily would have stretched the debate out to, 2 and half hours.

@@timmartin7664 would have been 8 hours if they fact checked Joe. But his lies were so blatant, most viewers didn’t need any help fact checking.

@@bryan805Biden made approximately 10 statements that weren’t fact based. Trump made 100+ lies. That is a fact. You’re a liar too. And disingenuous. You must be MAGAt. 🤡 😉 🇺🇸🇺🇸Biden For Democracy🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@timmartin7664you do it. Period.

And a candidate cannot say" go back to what he said before". Answer the question.!

Sounds great. So, for example, when Biden brings up a tired, 7-year old talking point about Trump's "plenty of good people on both sides" quote, the moderators can play the entire clip where Trump next said who he ISN'T referring to, and who he specifically said who should be condemned totally, and it puts the clip back in context and completely destroys a debunked smear tactic. Or maybe when Joe brought up Trump's "bloodbath" quote, they could show the actual Merriam-Webster definition of the word, where we can all see it is also used as an economic term, and it crushes another baseless claim, once and for all, so everyone will stop bringing it up and propagating a baseless lie. You mean like that?

Best answer I've seen. Excellent idea!!!

I agrée i felt like i could have answered each of the questions for both of them with exactly how they would have answered. Not that I know a lot of policy I just know what to expect from them.

You cannot blame the rules for Biden being incompetent.

Good don’t vote😂

Exactly, don't vote.

FJB ! !

You'd be wise to leave all options open... I used to vote blue. I woke up and you will too.

@@skyboy1956 On a typica day, how many wet dreams do you have about f'cking an old man? Seek psychiatric help. Translate to Mental Patient

Biden lied the entire time.

Do u believe that no American soldier died under Biden?

Biden is corrupt

Yeah, if the truths not coming from a zombie. unless you are crazy, you could see it in his face. His eyes were wide open and he was lost. Be an adult. If trump looked like that corpse we would get rid of him.

Hahahha based on all fact checkers Biden lied at least 9 times during the 90 minute debate

🤣🤣🤣 You people deserve Trump so bad. Biden loses to Trump.

Tell me about it...wtf is WRONG with her??? This is WHY the so-called media CANNOT be trusted!

This old man needs another face lift. Saying that that Trump lied. I call BULL! CNN announcer didn’t tell the truth. He said that food was $100.00 and now $120.00. That’s not true. I buy the same food since Trump was in office. I payed $90.00 every other week for the same food. Now when Biden is in office, I pay $160.00 every other week. That is more than %20 that that announcer stated

She was more than befuddled. She was in it for Trump. Not a word from her about Trump's lies and spewing of hatred for America during the debate. Trump really despises America because it turned against him in 2020, and Jan. 6 was his response. Trump really despises America, and calls veterans who gave their lives to the country, "losers" and "suckers" and got out of the draft by claiming "spurs." On top of all that he is a coward.

@@blackout07blueDidn’t you guys say that in 2020? Yeah Biden had a bad debate. He came out swinging the next day in NC, and had no problem at all talking about what his policies are. Whereas Trump was at his rally the following day telling people not to go to dinner with Hannibal Lector and the usual ramblings how he’s the biggest victim blah blah blah, there are so many shark attacks, I’d rather be electrocuted then eaten by a shark blah blah blah, and usually the stupid story about the snake. Oh and his latest how black people love him because of his beautiful mugshot.

But it isn't a choice between those things.

@@M_Pross exactly. And which one is most attractive.

@honkyking8705 No, that's your guy tRump. Did you hear the tape from the other night when you could literally hear tRump poop his pants? It was hilariously clear that he did! 🤣🤣🤣

Spell those words of which you speak 😂

Technically, it was Biden who challenged Trump to golf...In fact, this isn't the first time Joe has challenged Trump to some sort of physical competition to prove his "manhood".

@jaobidan2358 I fail to see how this "technically" matters. The pundits decided to focus on the golfing thing. Lichtman described punditry as no different than sportscaster TV, and they go and make it literal.

@@SuStel It does b/c Biden has a habit of trying to "prove" himself by challenging his opponent. Very much like his "two step shuffle" to make people like you think he's...spry.

I’m not sure that applies this time around… Can you think of a bigger fumble in the history of debates?

@fyodor_ivanovich debates are a show of grandstanding and popularity. It doesn't show any type of leadership or management skills. Just who can bad mouth the other and still look good. Since both were presidents, the best scale on how to compare the other is to look at their policies they are inactive in and how the elective branch developed under their leadership from year 2 - 4.

It is NOT the debate. It is the fact that serious cognitive decline was on display and it is terrifying that THAT man, in THAT state, is currently running the country, and not just that, but is seeking to do it for 4 more years?! It has nothing to do with the debate. It is about Biden's mental decline being completely and utterly exposed to literally everyone. No one will be able to un-see that. People can un-see a bad debate, but this was an exposure of a failing mind. The guest is coping so hard.

It doesn't matter about if debates don't have an effect historically. Because historically, there has never been a debate as bad a this onen that compares. And he has dementia, this will happen again. And the betting odds sites went from 50/50 to 40/50 immediately after the debate.

It isn’t a bad debate he couldn’t finish a sentence we all would get fired goin to work like that 💀

CNN was taken over by Right wingers, which is why they are how they are, now. CNN knows most people are not aware of this, so they are trying to sway people to Trump without being too obvious.

Because you cannot just make laws to restrict political opponents out of thin air.

cnn Trump Biden = zionists!

@@Xulios16 If fact checkers could be fast enough, I think a message appearing on the screen saying, "This has been proved to be a lie according to (factcheckers exact page for that claim)" would be appropriate. Or just playing the clip of him saying the exact words he just claimed he never said.

exactly man. Democrats and TV pundits are all backstabbing Biden, for what, one shitty debate performance? Give me a fucking break. Biden is old as shit (we all can see that), but can he do the fucking job and sign bills? Damn right he can. Trump is a convicted felon and broke his oath to the Constitution. He shouldn't even be allowed to run. Fuck off CNN.

Did he have dementia and trouble speaking in complete sentences. It's not about his age, it's about his dementia.

Moran!!!!

Yes it was.

@@user-dt5od5bz8z Who's Moran?

Biden stutters and it gets worse with age. Trump lied all through, he will do nothing if he wins, he is useless

Are you a doctor? Did you see him in the Carolina Rally the day after the debate he did great! I would feel weak Next to the Devil as well. I think the media is trying to tell us what we should think. It is ridiculous. Donald TRUMP is a freaking Convicted FELON do you see the Republicans talking crap on the Media asking him to step down. NOPE they are backing him regardless. If the democrats lose it will be because of the LIBERAL MEDIA trying to help Republicans destroy Democracy

We have a demagogue now with his DOJ

Or ‘for profit’ news outlets.

That's because Dionysius of Halicarnassus couldn't conceive that any country would hand executive power to a brain-dead zombie.
