    Because the people surrounding Biden are good at their jobs. Each has a weakness: Trump is a liar and Biden is old and forgetful. Trump’s people made no effort to hide Trump’s weakness, but Biden’s people did a good job of hiding it up to the debate. That people are surprised is a good sign that Biden surrounded himself with competent people - but also this is what debates are suppose to do, reveal the true candidates to the nation.

      Or maybe unlike basically any president before him in modern times Biden has the lowest public appearance rate and the least press meetings since fucking Reagan and he even had more with his early onset dementia.

      Biden has literally hidden from view and hoped decorum and order would see him through to a second term and it’s not working especially when he comes south of the shadows and drops a debate like what we saw.

      Honestly the people around Biden aren’t competent either. They are just rich people from prestigious colleges who “yes and” and want to stay influential and paid. They do their job which is more than Trump’s cabinet but none of them are some heroic savior of this terrible presidential election no matter how much you want it to be.

      Appease the thoughts of him losing however you want but that won’t stop it either.
