Did we even watch the same debate? Trump is a rambling moron. Biden is old, that is a very real concern, but he wasn’t incoherent even a little bit.

What?

When asked about abortion, Biden started ranting about illegal immigrants murdering women…

And for an example used an instance where we don’t know who the murderers are, but right wing media keeps claiming it was immigrants.

Like, this isn’t just you and me bub.

Feel free to provide a source from literally any major news organization claiming Biden did well and was coherent.

You’re currently commenting on one about the opposite, but I can find more if you want

Trump didn’t answer a single question with anything other than, “I’m rubber; you’re glue.” Biden was stumbly but he at least answered questions and you 90% knew what he was talking about.

He didn’t answer every question, multiple times he just went off about something else.

If you feel like you understood him 90% of the time, then you’re the exception. I’m sure every trump supporter is saying trump made sense most of the time too.

That’s why I asked:

Feel free to provide a source from literally any major news organization claiming Biden did well and was coherent.

And you apparently couldn’t find one…

Edit:

And I shouldn’t have to repeat this in every comment…

But yes.

Trump is terrible.

But Biden might not be good enough to beat Trump, so why not run someone that is while we’re still a month away from the convention and as the DNC loves to say: they can nominate anyone they want, primaries aren’t real elections.

To rephrase this, trump performed as expected, Biden performed worse than expected.

You didn’t watch the debate. You were on 4chan apparently. This is the same exact thing those chuds are saying over there.

During a response to a question about abortion, Biden mentioned, seemingly out of nowhere, a young woman who was recently murdered by an immigrant — an apparent reference to a 12-year-old Houston girl who was strangled to death, allegedly by two Venezuelan men who entered the country illegally.

The connection to abortion was unclear.

It literally happened…

You can go back and watch it happen.

I get that it’s not what you want to have happened, but that doesn’t change reality

That is an outright lie. I’m not a fan of Biden for different reasons, but let’s stick to the truth.

I actually watched the debate. Its clear you didnt. Biden was coherent, even trump was for the most part coherent, he just made stuff up constantly.

This isn’t the 1970s… We don’t have to rely on our memories of what happened

If you don’t believe the AP’s live updates, if the full debate is uploaded to YouTube somewhere you can watch Biden say it.

Calling it ranting is hyperbole, but but he did randomly start talking about immigrants murdering women when answering the question about abortion.
