You keep saying that, but I don't know what you're talking about. What do you think I was convinced of?
You sat down and watched both candidates and came away thinking that Trump was more intelligent and had more coherent and thoughts. I cannot understand this perspective from an intelligent person (which I believe you are). Was that medicare stutter really enough to sway your opinion of the entire 1:30hr debate?
I watched the entire debate. Biden struggled for a majority of it. I'm not sure if would go so far as to say Trump was more intelligent, but he could at least make his points without completely fumbling. Biden had all the characteristics of someone losing their faculties. I've seen it first hand. Like I said my grandma passed of a brain tumor, she spent those last years living with us. My other grandma passed of dementia. Biden strongly reminded me of them at that debate. The pressure was on him to show he was sharp and ready to go. Everyone, including democrats were afraid he was too old. It was his time to prove everyone wrong and he blew it. To defend him and his decision to run for reelection is to deny reality. If there was a real primary there would be a strong chance we wouldn't have Trump 2.
Yes he was old and not sharp there is no denying that. Sure another candiate would have been better im not saying that isnt the case. I'm purely pointing at the case when the only two options were trump and biden and I dont think Trump showed himself to be anything more than a rambling idiot. Even with biden stuttering and being old I still dont think thats an excuse for people to have thought Trump did well. Every time trump was asked a question he replied something that was completely irrelevant. Purely because he talks confidently and doesnt stutter he convinced people.
Nobody thought Trump did well. He did barely passable. Which is a bar Biden couldn't clear.
You think Trumps performance was barely passable? I do not understand that at all, thats insane to me. A child could provide more intelligent responses to those questions than what Trump said.
Go ahead keep underestimating MAGA. That's how they get in office. That's insane to me.
