You are obviously not familiar with the term HUBRIS. Shakespeare was. We've seen this story before. It's an old one. RGB - a hero to woman and all liberal elite - was similarly affected ... like when she refused to step down from the Court during Obama's Presidency thereby guaranteeing any 5 - 4 SCOTUS (given that Chief Justice Roberts is now the swing vote) decision to favor conservative interpretation of the law of the land. And get this ... she knowingly had a fatal disease (pancreatic cancer) when she insisted on staying on the Court. Joe is exactly in the same mind set. For that matter so is Dr. Fauci. I did not watch the debate because after 40 years in medicine (anesthesiology and critical care and cardiology) I can easily spot cognitive impairment and decline. But the point is, hubris plus a touch (or a lot) of power equals what feeble ole Joe is doing now, as well as what RGB did, and clearly drove the good doctor as well (can you say Defuse?). When you think about it ole Joe needs to be in an assisted living facility. And when you think about it some more you realize (as I am sure Dr. Jill does) that the White House is the greatest assisted living facility on the planet. So Joe Biden ain't goin' anywhere.

I honestly watched the first few minutes and found it too painful. Like a movie you KNOW is going to be bad, as the terrible opening dialogue reveals what's ahead. Next article a poll expressing your respondents' top-five choices for a new candidate? Again, thanks for sharing your thoughtful, entertaining and sometimes sad words, Matt.

You and I, sure, we are into nuance, Patti. But too many voters don't. There's no erasing what happened on that stage last night. It's time (past time, really) to say thank you to the President, then urge him to hand off the baton.
