The Joe Biden at that CNN debate is somebody I’ve never met, and somebody I would be nervous about leaving unattended in front of a microwave oven, let alone the nuclear football.
Last week, I made the single worst prediction of my short career as a political commentator, declaring in my weeklythat “My mind is made up. Your mind is made up. One of these guys is going to be president next year, but this debate isn’t going to be determinative unless one of them does somethingdidn’t do anything stupid and he didn’t die , but the first, and likely only, presidential debate of 2024 may very well go down as the single most determinative event of the campaign.
