    Biden had 1 long-shot chance to bridge echo-chambers and show the country he can lead. To reach those undecided swing-state voters.

    It’s why he took this debate. Because he was already losing them.

    And he blew it to such a catastrophic level it’s not impacting congressional down-ballot races already.

    Fun fact: Biden now shares the title of Ford, Carter, HW Bush, and Trump who were incumbent presidents who trailed in polls both before and after the first debate… All of whom lost reelection.
