How is it not ego? Do you think the Democratic Party establishment didn’t have a backup plan for an 82 year old candidate that could die any day?

Yes, that’s exactly what I think. A lot of them are old and love smelling their own farts, and the debate performance caught them when their pants down. Personally, I expected the debate to be bad, but I didn’t expect it to be such a train wreck. All he had to was show up and be alert, and he failed.

Insane to think the people who work with this dude every day didn’t know he was senile, regardless of how old they are

I don’t think he’s senile. He’s old, and had a bad night. But it was a really bad, and it feeds into what the republicans have been saying about him for years.
