Yes, they should have been fact checking Trump or better holding him to his answers - but to be fair maybe they should have been asking Biden to actually clarify if he’s beating Medicare or getting COVID passed.
This was a shit show.
And it was such a shit show that Trump was a complete clown and getting away with it - not just because of the moderators, but because his opponent was as on point as a tree stump.
Yes, but it’s not impossible that the people around Biden, friends family and co-workers, advise him that the best thing for the country would be to take his hat back out of the ring and let a better ticket be put together for the convention.
He claims that he’s running because he’s worried about the existential threat of Trump.
If that’s true, then maybe his hubris can be overcome with a convincing appeal that he’s really not the best candidate to defend the country against that existential threat after all.
