🧵 1/2 #Biden

“I know I’m not a young man, to the state the obvious. Well, I know I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth..

I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, I know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.

2/ “Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job. Because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.”

3/ Let's make this the narrative.

Let's push this so that it smothers the BS doomsday stuff.

Thanks.

4/ Via Stephen Fowler:

The crowd chants “yes you can!”

5/ Via Acyn:

Biden: We learned that Trump will not respect this year’s election outcome. Three times Trump was asked would he respect the election results…

Biden: For all his lies, we learned some important truths about Trump last night. We learned he’s still proud to be the person that killed Roe V Wade…

6/ Via Angry Staffer:

Need more of this Biden going forward.

Obviously, last night wasn’t a great showing, but I’m voting for substance and his record, not a 90 minute debate.

Biden: I don’t know what you did last night but I spent 90 minutes on a stage debating guy who has the moral of an alley cat. My guess is he set a new record for the most lies told in a single debate.

7/ Fowler:

Biden, still with a cough and slight hoarse voice, is a complete 180 in energy and attentiveness from last night’s debate, feeding off the crowd.

8/ Biden: The only convicted criminal on that stage was Trump. When I thought about his 34 convictions, his sexual assault on a woman in a public place, his being fined for business fraud.. I thought to myself Trump is not just convicted felon, he’s a one man crime wave
@GottaLaff no need to convince me who the better man is. But last night Joe proved the rap that he is too old. No EXCUSES. Time to step aside.
@kwheaton Totally disagree.
@GottaLaff that is fine. I am very, very concerned. He has aged 20 years in the last 4. That spells potential disaster in the next 4. I am not convinced that he can win, nor is Joe our best chance. Its okay that we have different opinions. It should not lead to my crucifiction.
