I liked the golf part because you can tell it REALLY ticked Trump off.
The problem is he fucked the delivery and Trump got to be in the position to cut him off with a high road comeback. "Let's not be children." Biden muttered something after that but the damage was done.
Biden said "you are the child." It was a "no u" moment, so I rolled my eyes.
But to be fair, Biden also attacked Trump several times. He called him a liar to his face. He referred to him as "this guy," and called him a convicted felon.
Too bad he didn't have the same energy he had during the State of the Union.
Edit: sorry, I referred to moments other than the golf one. And yes, I agree with you. His delivery was poor.
Oh yeah he had strong moments, but during the SOTU and 2020 debates he was far stronger. I actually believe he's sick. The problem is that excuse doesn't fly with the American people. It didn't help Hillary out either. That's also why I'm sure this isn't a speech impediment problem. Here's the 2020 debate. It's night and day.
I was very surprised to see him so... dim? precisely because of what you mentioned.
It didn't occur to me that he was probably sick.
Too bad the American people won't see it as a sign of strength, though. Being sick and still debating a moron? Not an easy task.
I wish he started with "First of all, you all have to excuse me because I got the flu [or the clap or whatever] - but I'm here and I'm ready!"
