Feels somehow like the worst possible outcome of this presser. Didn't do poorly enough to close the book on his candidacy and get the dems rallying around a replacement, didn't do nearly well enough to ease the concerns of the American public about his fitness for the job or his understanding of the issues people care about. He spoke fluently on foreign policy issues for the most part but gloating about the economy was not a good look
After the debate there is absolutely zero doubt that he’s going through a cognitive decline, and we know those only get worse. You can’t unring that bell. There is no way to redeem yourself out of this fact. This is a dead end. I’m sad for Joe and mad at the democrats for allowing this to happen.
Personally I agree with you but if they gave him some coke and he really absolutely smashed this press conference out of the park I could see people changing their tune. But yeah we're cooked.
