If this was meant to reassure people, it hasn't worked.

Joe, read the room!

eeepaulo

got to say he sounds competent at the moment, fair play, if i knew him i might let him use my oven (rightly or wrongly).

unfortunately, i want trump beaten and he is incapable of doing it

Rambling again..

It's like he has little talking points learned off, and then goes on his storytime.

Atlantic Dawn

This makes his performance in the debate look good.

briany

Doesn't look like he's going to be announcing an end to his candidacy tonight, anyway.

He's too frail in general and doesn't sound on top of his game - the years have caught up with him.

Green Peter

He's back "trump filling out his scorecard before he hits the ball" very good

Raoul Duke III

Not a total meltdown but the 'Vice President Trump' thing will be the soundbite, especially after the 'President Putin' one.

Raoul Duke III

I don't think this moves the needle either way, which is probably the worst outcome.

the whole year inn

He has no charisma , and is very flat.

Raoul Duke III

The sad thing is you can see the shadow of who he was.

Biden should say that's going to be the situation in November if Democrats don't come out and vote. Wouldn't be an inaccurate statement.

Sandor Clegane

The problem for Biden and the democrats is that now everything has become centered around his competency, he's under the microscope and every slip or gaffe is being highlighted and the fact he makes so many is burying him, its at the stage where Trump could become a school shooter and this race would still be all about Biden's health, its not right but its the way it is.

Americans don't care how bad a person Trump is, they voted him in once and they'll do it again even though he's worse now, it just doesn't matter to people.

If Biden stays in this race he will lose, he can't come back from where he is.

Raoul Duke III

He seems to need 3 seconds to collect his thoughts every time.

If Americans don't care how bad a person Trump is, why did he ever get voted out?

Trump didn't create a great economy. He inherited an economic recovery from Obama, eased a few regulations and was going around like he transformed the USA overnight. He also shitt the bed when COVID hit. He is the definition of a fair weather captain.

What it is is that there are a certain proportion of Americans who will vote for Trump no matter what, but there are plenty of Americans who fully recognise what a greasy crook the man is. Trouble is that if they don't have something to vote for, they're just going to be apathetic in too many cases, and Biden hanging on puts their participation very much in question.

At this point, the reasons Biden may win (his equity) can be assigned to any Dem candidate - i.e. Trump is arrested or dies or has a major gaffe such that it makes him unelectable

extra-ordinary_

Reaching for his earpiece there?

Raoul Duke III

Sadly, the thing that most American voters will see on their big and small screens will be clips of Biden calling Zelensky 'President Putin' and Harris 'Vice President Trump'.

That's the age we're in.

President Biden looks very weak in this conference, why he didn't choose retirement, I don't know, but he's not winning an election, most powerful position on the planet is not looking good for us all ,

Atlantic Dawn

Refusing to do the cognitive tests says it all really.

It mental that you think that's a problem, holy f#$k, this lad is senile.

Reminds me soooo much of my dad.

As opposed to the commies

Markus Antonius

Ooh, the unofficial journalist at the end really dumped him in it with the question on the Harris/Trump gaffe!

mickdw

He was alot better than I believed he would be.

I had visions of him being escorted off the stage after a series of frozen moments.

He got away with it but only extending the inevitable by a week or 2.

briany

To be honest, he sounded a bit better than I expected him to, overall, but the VP Trump gaffe will be doing the rounds for the next few days.

markodaly

The conference is over now.

Not very inspiring.

Not a complete disaster, but nowhere near enough to ally fears.

So, the Dems will continue to tear itself apart for the next week or two.

REDBULL68

Didn't handle it ,ol Joe is goosed, Harris up next on the ticket, won't win imop ,so Trump again ,if it wasn't so serious on a world scale it would be a monty python sketch.
