    Were you and I watching the same presser? He had moments of brilliance, but his fumbles were apparent throughout the night.

      I feel like people who said he had a good conference are either

      • back to covering for him or
      • have been caught in the “boiling frog” of Biden’s long decline that they have a warped sense of what people expect from their president.

      I watched maybe half of it. It was painful. He was mumbly. He misspoke. He lost his train of thought. His expressions and body language were stiff and unnatural. Occasionally he remembered some talking points and was able to regurgitate them without messing up too badly.

      If the guy we saw last night was my waiter at a restaurant I would assume my food was going to arrive late, cold, and not be at all what I ordered.
