Well... This was humiliating for everyone involved. THESE are our candidates?
In all seriousness, Biden (and the team he's picked, who I am starting to think are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the day to day) is still the better pick by a country lightyear. It's just... wow has the bar been lowered.
Someone apparently changed the station midway through Biden's response to Trump bragging about his supreme court picks that destroyed planned parenthood. He just... suddenly power drifted from saying how bad a thing Trump's dismantling of abortion rights (as well as everything else stemming from that) into something about immigration. ANY attempt to retroactively "clarify" what Biden "actually" meant is going to sound no different to me than anyone trying to clarify one of Trump's nonsensical ramblings into sense. The only saving grace is that in both cases, Biden's at least on the right side.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
