Quote of the Day

“That was painful,” said one cable news pundit. “He didn’t do well at all.” “Joe Biden had one thing he had to do tonight and he didn’t do it,” a former U.S. senator added. “He had one thing he had to accomplish, and that was [to] reassure America that he was up to the job at his age, and he failed at that tonight.” “It was a really disappointing debate performance from Joe Biden,” a former White House communications director argued. “I don’t think there’s any other way to slice it. I think the biggest issue that he had to prove to the American people was that he had the energy, that he had the stamina, and he didn’t do that.” “I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep,” a prominent newspaper columnist wrote. “Joe Biden … has no business running for re-election.””
