What's funny is that just last week, the WH was calling some of this stuff deep fakes. You can't make this stuff up. I mean do people really think Biden is as sharp as the Dems say he is?
Some of this stuff was fake, or at least edited to be an intentional misrepresentation of what actually happened (the video of him "sitting in a chair that wasn't there," when the chair was just further back than the short clip captured; him "wandering off" from the G7 when he was walking over to acknowledge paratroopers that were off-camera, etc.)
Dems have never made Biden out to be Einstein. What they have said is that he's sharper than the drooling vegetable Pubs have made him out to be.
Unfortunately for Dems last night's disastrous debate for Biden made him look enough like the latter that they've now got a fairly existential campaign crisis on their hands.
I think Cuban pretty much nailed it here.
There is a massive perception problem after last night with Biden's acuity. Dems are caught between a rock and a hard place - either try to shift the focus to evidence of Biden's successful executive leadership over the last four years (probably a losing strategy) or replace him (unprecedented and not without political risk).
Uncharted territory all around here. Will be fascinating to see how it plays out.
