If Biden debates Trump I think he'll mess it up. Cuomo? Doesn't matter what Trump throws at him. He wouldn't flinch.
Buttigieg is even quicker witted than Cuomo. Try saying that really fast three times.

Hillary Clinton crushed Trump in the debates. ...
So, what you are saying is that the debates have no influence on President election - got it!

She would have crushed him in the election without the black swan.

Well, probably won the popular vote by 1-3 points more, leading to very narrow to modest win by taking WI, MI, and PA.

If you remove the media's catastrophic collective failure in how it covered the election and "emails!" in general then, yeah, she might've won in a landslide. It's too hard to counterfactual that to know for sure, though.

[quote]So, what you are saying is that the debates have no influence on President election - got it![/quote]No, I'm not saying that. It might be true that they have minimal influence, but you can't infer that from anything I said. The only thing you could infer is that final election outcomes don't exactly match perception or reality in how candidates performed during the debates. But since no one thinks that, subs, I don't think we have to concern ourselves with it.

Biden is recruiting Julian Castro and asking him to tackle Police Reform. Seems like pretty good news.

Just goes to show that even with all his mental deficiencies, he can still make good decisions.
