It became sustained because he sustained it. If Biden wanted to show his mental acuity, he should have done some unscripted town halls. Instead, he fumbled a series of softball interviews. He knew he couldn’t do a town hall.
You’re getting down voted, but you’re absolutely correct. That debate was a disaster, and he did not do much to reassure people afterwards that it was a fluke. The home stretch of the election would have simply been clips of Joe talking about how he beat Medicare.
And Trump had a few fantastic rebuttals that were handed to him on a silver platter. The “you beat it to death” and the “I’m don’t know what he said at the end, and I don’t think he does either.” Those were the moments you knew that Biden had lost it.
He was expected to “whomp, whomp” Trump in the debate, and it failed so spectacularly there was no way to recover.
Doesn’t matter if "a cold, time zones, fatigue et al, were the reasons - the massive fail resulted in only one option.
Time zones was such a bullshit excuse. He had been back for two weeks at that point. It was just one of the obvious lies they were trying to gaslight us with.
Nobody survives a hockey stick drop like that.
I think most of that drop was panic, but it became sustained because of the media narrative.
Regardless, I’m on board with replacing him, especially if it drives voter engagement.
