Hi, if you missed the whole thing (good for you!):
- it was terrible
- that terribleness was because of the President
- Biden tried on lots of different approaches to the terribleness and settled, effectively and powerfully, on "ignore the bully and talk to the people."

- Chris Wallace lobbed all of the softballs to Trump and still couldn& #39;t get him to behave like a grownup (he started with SCOTUS instead of the NYT $ story; he asked him to denounce White Supremacists).

- There are people in my life who still don& #39;t take Trump literally or seriously. When Trump said "stand by" to a white supremacist group, the response might be "he& #39;s an idiot who is bad at talking." But this wasn& #39;t his first rodeo. I think he knew exactly what he was doing.

We will talk more about all of this today -- we& #39;ll have a recap set to music (because the world needs some levity) in IG stories and a mini-podcast on Patreon (I cannot guarantee how mini it will be). But don& #39;t be confused -- this debate was one person& #39;s disaster.

The President debated like he governs -- chaotically, narcissistically, untruthfully.
