TIL it takes about 75 minutes to get an article written and published from scratch.
If he does another debate and manages to look like he knows what year it is, I think this excuse will land decently with a lot of people, but if he avoids the next debate or conveniently gets another cold then keeping him as the nominee is admitting the party does not actually care about winning the election.
I watched the debate and when I opened this video I was kind of surprised that I didn’t even remember this moment. I went and found his full answer, and now I do remember it. I turned to my wife after he finished this line and told her that I am incapable of focusing through an entire fifteen-second sentence if he backtracks and corrects himself so many times that it turns into a forty-second sentence.
I wonder how many other viewers missed how spectacularly awful the second half of this response was because the first half was bad enough to stop paying attention before it got worse.
Also, I’m not even convinced he was finished speaking when the moderator said “Thank you President Biden”, was the guy just putting him out of his misery?
