Biden’s frozen moment at the debate had many suggesting he drop out of the race. However, few are talking about Trump appearing to short circuit this week during an interview.
I’m not shocked an old man missed a prompt to speak in a low stakes phone call. Mid-sentence in a high-stakes optics-focused debate is the bigger gaffe, but equally normal for an old man.
Agreed, a gap on a phone call is not as bad as looking like a lost little boy on video. :(
I feel bad for Biden, I really do. I think he honestly believes in doing what’s best for the country. He’s just not articulating that where it counts.
It reminds me a lot of the Bob Dole campaign, or even the Hillary Clinton campaign, where supporters would go “Yeah, but they’re totally different in private! You should see it!”
I agree! I should see it! Failing to bring that across in a campaign is itself a failure.
He’s already been a really good president. It’s not like people need to read the tea leaves to know what he’s about.
Heck, we already know he’s pro-America, doesn’t take money from foreign governments, isn’t trying to become a dictator, and didn’t give away nuclear secrets.
The actual video for your own judgement:

That puts him several points above the other guy.
AIPAC might have something to say about that
Doesn’t take money from foreign governments? Do you know who his biggest donors are?

Can someone link me to this super-dramatic mid-sentence lapse people are talking about? From Biden in the debate
