    He has a manic energy to it where Biden just looked lost, that’s a pretty big difference.

      I agree that Biden had a horrible performance in that debate. One thing I don’t agree with, however… Everyone seemed to take his bewildered looks as him being demented or whatever, but during the debate while I was watching it, I totally related to those looks, because he was giving the side eye to Trump when he said stupid shit. I don’t think it was covered entirely without bias there.

        I can only re-iterate what I said at the time… Trump was demented, and Biden looked like a lost little boy.

        For folks who have had elderly relatives in rest homes know that look all too well… “Wait, where am I? Why are you here? Why am I here?”
