But really, when was the last time a major party switched candidates this close to the election?
I can't think of any but the Dems also have a bunch of literal nobodies who all have major issues dealing with appealing to a broad electorate. Whitmer only gets elected because of the dumb niggers in Detroit and Newsom is only elected because of the dumb niggers in California coastal cities; they literally can't win anywhere that doesn't vote for anything with a D on it. The others are so irrelevant that even suggesting them is a fucking joke.
 
I will admit Trump didn't come off as a winner but he came off way better then Biden. Plus you could easily tell Trump was having fun while Joe looked...well we all saw it.

I'm going to agree with a lot of people on both sides who are saying how sad it is that American Politics have come to such a low point. That this debate really drives home how the whole system needs an overhaul and retooling before it's too late.

Really is this embarrassing for the whole human race that the most important person in the world comes down to a race between 2 old senile men.

While Trump may be slightly better then Biden he's still 80 and it won't take much for him to start down the same path that Biden's finishing.
 
So ignoring the braindead zombie, what's your opinions on Trump during the debate? I thought he handled himself pretty well up there, all things considered. Continued emphasis on the immigration and economy was a good play. People are saying he was lying non-stop on the stand, but the only thing I really noticed was the 'fucking the pornstar' thing.
he trained for the debate & knew he had one chance.
 
Dems freak out over Biden’s debate performance: ‘Biden is toast’

President Joe Biden opened the debate with a raspy voice and disjointed, rambling answers, reigniting Democratic concerns about his age and ability to take on former President Donald Trump.

Many of the president’s answers were hard to follow. At one point, seemingly losing his train of thought, Biden said “we finally beat Medicare,” misspeaking about his own policy on earned benefits.

In text messages with POLITICO, Democrats expressed confusion and concern as they watched the first minutes of the event. One former Biden White House and campaign aide called it “terrible,” adding that they have had to ask themselves over and over “What did he just say? This is crazy.”

Another veteran Democratic operative texted, “Biden seems to have needed a few minutes to warm up. I wonder if the lack of an audience was the right decision. And poor guy needs a tea. Maybe a whiskey.”

Jay Surdukowski, an attorney and Democratic activist from New Hampshire who co-chaired Martin O’Malley’s 2016 presidential campaign in the state, said, “Biden is toast — calling it now.”

Biden’s rambling answers provided Trump multiple opportunities to jump in with retorts. At one point, after an answer ostensibly on immigration, Trump said, “I don’t know what he said at the end there. I don’t think he knows what he said.”

The president’s performance was widely panned online and will likely reinforce the impression that he’s lost a step. The 81-year-old president’s age has long been a liability, with poll after poll showing even many Democrats concerned about his age.

Biden aides and allies had hoped the on-stage split screen between the two men would help to focus voters’ attention on the race. But during the debate, many Democrats have begun to doubt that strategy would actually work out in Biden’s favor.

A person familiar with Biden’s health claimed that his performance is due to a cold. But the president’s team hadn’t mentioned that to reporters until Biden began to answer questions in the debate.

One prominent operative texted, “Time for an open convention.”
 
1972. The Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee was dropped a few weeks after the convention when it was revealed he had undergone electric shock treatments for depression.

The Democrats would end up losing all but one state that year.
A vice presidential nominee? Fuck, Mr. Bones must have something wild in store for us this time round.
