His preparation was to memorize a lot of blatant lies about bleach and other false accusations about what Trump has said.

That’s because she saw how he “walked” onto the stage.

Since that seems to be the strategy of the Democrats MSM, it is not really surprising.

This isn't the Debate thread.  Can't believe that I spent four hours painstakingly posting reaction and news to various CEHST threads, but ALL have disappeared since the server upgrade.  Damn.

Captain Ewok graciously saved a bunch of my posts that had gone to the old server.  Here are some about the Bidementia debate.

========================================================

Huh -- the liberals are panicking over the debate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Fumbling Performance, and a Panicking Party

President Biden hoped to build fresh momentum for his re-election bid by agreeing to debate two months before he is formally nominated.  Instead, his halting and disjointed performance on Thursday night prompted a wave of panic among Democrats and reopened discussion of whether he should be the nominee at all.

Over the course of 90 minutes, a raspy-voiced Mr. Biden struggled to deliver his lines and counter a sharp though deeply dishonest former President Donald J. Trump, raising doubts about the incumbent president's ability to wage a vigorous and competitive campaign four months before the election.  Rather than dispel concerns about his age, Mr. Biden, 81, made it the central issue.

Democrats who have defended the president for months against his doubters — including members of his own administration — traded frenzied phone calls and text messages within minutes of the start of the debate as it became clear that Mr. Biden was not at his sharpest.  Some took to social media to express shock at his troubles, while others privately discussed among themselves what it would mean for the party and whether it was too late to persuade the president to step aside in favor of a younger candidate.  [...]

Dems freak out over Biden's debate performance:  'Biden is toast'

[...] Biden's rambling answers provided Trump multiple opportunities to jump in with retorts.  At one point, after an answer ostensibly on immigration, Trump said, "I don't know what he said at the end there.  I don't think he knows what he said."

The president's performance was widely panned online and will likely reinforce the impression that he's lost a step.  The 81-year-old president's age has long been a liability, with poll after poll showing even many Democrats concerned about his age.  [...]

This one seems a little too gloating to me, but who knows?  And I suppose there were some "gotcha" attempts by the moderators.

After Debate Win, Pondering Trump's First 100 Days
 

Donald Trump easily won Thursday's debate, besting a sputtering, often-incoherent Joe Biden who had little to offer the American people but fumbled talking points and bluster.  In contrast, a confident and relaxed Trump offered a way back to the Three Fat Years of economic growth and peace that punctuated his presidency while sidestepping irrelevant "gotcha" issues that matter to the political class but not to average voters.

Trump easily jumped traps that CNN's operatives attempted to set for him.  He turned a question about the January 6 riot into a comparison between America then versus America now.  He flipped a gotcha question about abortion to spotlight Democrats' advocacy for late-term abortion.  Biden twice fumbled responses to this sole issue that is supposed to be Democrats' ace up the sleeve.  Trump even sounded unifying on the matter.  [...]

Guys, some debate-specific posts have been split from the master "2024 Elections/Candidates/etc." thread and posted in this Debate thread, which will soon die down and give way to the master thread again.  This post-splitting may strike you as hair-splitting, but hopefully you can forgive it as a small part of recovering from the server switchover.  I'm still replacing missing posts and a little other stuff.  Thanks for understanding.

I buy this; do you?

The Worst Video From Debate Night and the Real Reason Biden Isn't Going Anywhere

 

[...] Biden's performance was so bad that even his biggest supporters wouldn't (and couldn't) spin it as a "win."  And, believe it or not, Jill Biden made it worse when the debate was over.

 

Once the debate had officially concluded and Trump left the stage, Joe Biden remained at his podium, waiting until his wife Dr. Jill came to help him.

 

The footage speaks for itself.  [...]
