"But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”

“In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.”

    To understand this scathing rebuttal, you should know about the original NYTimes article, where their editorial board wrote:

    To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race

    This is a wonderfully penned counterpunch. Shout out to my local paper for serving it up

        We expect biden to.

        No we don’t. Some of us believe there’s a shadow of a prayer he might be pushed into it by Democrat party leaders and his own advisors, but even the politicos calling for his withdrawal have been clear that they expect him to lurch his way to an electoral disaster.
