Some excerpts were released in advance. “Bad episode” and “bad night” is the line he’s sticking to.

The Biden interview wasn’t exactly a kill-shot, but it may as well have been.
The audience for this was Democrat voters and donors—not anyone else. The questions were pointed exactly to their fears and concerns, and Biden was asked same basic question, over and over: Democrats…

There’s only one headline from the Biden-Stephanopoulos interview:
Biden refuses to commit to independent cognitive assessment
That’s it. That’s the story.
He made it worse.
This won’t go on much longer.

This interview was the worst of all worlds for the Ds.
Biden committed no real flubs. He didn’t do anything to force himself out of the race. But he appears old, weak, tentative and he’s losing to Trump.
So Biden will dig in and stay. The Ds are stuck.

This is also disqualifying on its own. https://t.co/va9bwZ9pif

ABC's Jonathan Karl reports that Democrats are panicking that Joe Biden is in denial that he is on track to lose the election.

So I’m torn, I want Biden to stay in the race, but for the good of the country and for his own good, I think it is time for him to go back to Delaware and not come back. He’s not just not fit to run, he’s not fit to continue in the presidency.

One 👀 House Democrat on President Biden’s interview tonight:
“It made me sad. Completely out of touch with reality and insulated from truth.”
“I’ll be breaking my silence soon.”

I've been asked by everyone I know for the last week if I think Biden is going to drop out
I've said all along. Its possible, but never bet against the selfish arrogance of Joe Biden
That is shining brightly through this interview tonight

Watching it, Stuffy hitting him with health situation
Providing the test questions prior to the test is what we in the industry call a stage play.
Seeing comments elsewhere Sundowner is having a medical emergency as this is being played
**snicker**
**BabyRuth**
10% of a “100 Grand” bar.
Superman secretly eats Clark bars.
I had a Clark bar. Once.
Medical emergency is false report
Even if Trump “lied 28 times”, Biden saying he got no soldier killed on his watch is one lie too many for me. How many times did he look at his watch as those 13 soldiers’ bodies were being brought home? There is a difference between a harmless exaggeration and a malicious, hurtful lie.
Well, Joe was never “on watch”, so technically the statement is true.
Stuffy was fairly tough on health situations and falling poll numbers
It appears that he was instructed to get Joe
Nah, not a hit job.
Looked to me that the game plan was to have Biden recite a bunch of the talking points he wasn’t able to recite during the debate, deflect the direct questions about his mental acuity and mental health as much as he can, and deny the polling numbers.
I’m watching it on a delay, and oh look, while saying Trump lies he just lied about Trump (about injecting bleach to cure Covid).
I agree with George: It’s not a good idea for Biden to compare his crowds and crowd enthusiasm with Trump’s. Calling into question the kind of people who attend Trump’s rallies will turn into a Trump campaign ad in no time.
The timing of the Snopes debunking of “fine people on both sides” is more and more looking every bit as coincidental as Merriam-Webster’s instant online redefinition of “sexual preference” as a genderphobic slur.
and folks this was TAPED.
Lord knows what they had to do
for the full interview ….
I so want him to stay in the race …
please …
“I had a bad night…”
“You had a rough month….”
Excuses, excuses.
Oh FFS – if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Interesting. Not too bad, frankly.
I am fascinated by the idea that Joe has enough power to defy the Democratic Party and the Liberal Press. Somehow I just can’t believe that.
I can’t shake the idea that there is a preplanned switchero coming.
(Accidental down vote)
Check his itinerary and see if he’s scheduled for any trips to Dallas in an uncovered limo….
I believe George was a successful hit-man, and Joe is history in the very short term.
Next week, he will be in the rear-view mirror.
KJP lied about him NOT seeing a doctor.
BIDEN: Because I was sick. I was feeling terrible. Matter of fact, the docs with me, I asked, they did a COVID test to try to figure out what was wrong. They did a test to see whether or not I had some kind of infection, a virus. I didn’t. I just had a really bad cold.
Is a cold a virus???
Before 2020, the “common cold” was a rhinovirus about 80% of the time, and a coronavirus the other 20%. Of course they changed when a specific coronavirus became the biggest health emergency ever, requiring us to shut down everything and all vote by mail.
Only saw a clip or two, but “I’m the guy” sounded like Biden bragging of his academic and civil rights prowess, which were zilch.
All of the talk about “panic” among Communist Party leaders was a lot of horse-puckey. There was no panic: what happened was that Biden* had such a complete and total meltdown on national TV that other Communist Party satraps who have their eyes on the White House saw this as a golden opportunity to dump Biden*.
But it has not worked since there was no agreed upon replacement, and in any even the Communists fashioned the primary in a way to insure Biden* was able to “win” without having to do much. Since Frau Doktor Jill Biden will not give up the Presidency the only way to get rid of Biden* now is (1) 25th Amendment, or (2) he dies.
His refusal to take a neurological/cognitive test is like a sign in Times Square flashing, “Joe Biden fails the test.” literally, no one in their right mind would refuse to take such a test in his precarious political situation.
Biden: “No, no one said I had to. No one said — they said I’m good.”
Where “they” is his wife, Jill, and the Easter Bunny, also Jill.
He is taking the 5th in a way……..
Did you notice how Biden was running on his successes?
Me either.
Biden and his clan are just the types that will take down the country for personal gain. If he has absolute power over the delegates, then Democrats may be forced to use the 25th Amendment.
Biden sold an entire Nation down-river, just to cover his corruption.
The weekend at Bernies is over.
George did his job.
“I have a — I get a full neurological test every day with me and I’ve had a full physical. I had — you know, I mean — I’ve — I’ve been at Walter Red for my physicals. I mean — yes. The answer is –”
If this is the sort of stuff that made the 15-minute “greatest hits” video, I can’t imagine how Abe Simpson the stuff they cut must have been.
Yes …everyday…..10 AM to 4 PM with a nap in between. Quite the stress test there Joe. For those who cover for him seeing no downside….. well…. you will inherit the outcome.
Special thanks to the NT crowd and your return to our precious norms. Hope the hurt feelz were worth it.
