You’re always angriest when you are partly guilty yourself. Did media/pundits really seriously believe it or did they foolishly will themselves into believing it so as not to help Trump? And lots of voters also believed what they were saying! (They’re angry too.) https://t.co/HaXRe5VlMF

Is a sign he has big limitations! I think he should stand down (especially if his now-obvious limitations contributed to the border disaster-you know more than me on that). But his debate preppers-like his ESPN-preppers-are supposed to work with those limits. They failed. Both… https://t.co/09x0u6vm0S https://t.co/LyOzMCCcLt

But I still think, in that situation. you drill him on a simple answer and tell him to stick to it. Like Bill Veeck telling the 3′ 7″ Eddie Gaedel not to swing. https://t.co/CyHcgbFBKH

If only we still had a Clark Clifford, who could call up Biden, tell him to stand down, and send a bill for 2 million dollars.

Of course it would be his job to say “Wait a minute. Let’s keep it simple, stupid.” He doesn’t seem like a guy who wouldn’t say that, unless he was radically overconfident (check!) or weakened (???). https://t.co/YUxq8ANE5T

.@daveweigel has made that point, and concluded it must be gibberish. I think he was trying to make some double-bank-shot point that ‘Hey you MAGA types say women are being raped by migrants. Don’t you want abortions for them? Ha!” Way too complicated and tenuous, obviously. https://t.co/85gGVnaIIU

If you’re a top White House aide focused on *your* future–say your name rhymes with “rain” and “Spain”–until Thursday your future was clearly yoked to Biden’s. Now your future is more tied to having friends in the press.

So finally some aides are talking (for publication) https://t.co/HyvXAVlUrg

Biden had a plausible post-debacle strategy of blaming the debate prep-he was clearly overprepared with complex answers. But the ‘Jill kept us from the truth’ defense throws that strategy into the trash-it wasn’t the debate prep, it was *him*. That’s how he is? We didn’t know! https://t.co/uC4QSvKxLk

If Biden really is “humiliated,” he obviously doesn’t want to quit on that note. Needs a better note. How about if 1st day of convention is an over-the top celebration of the greatness of the Bidens, at the end of which he gets the nomination. Then the next day he gives it up … https://t.co/qpYxiPSXfJ
