I'm curious. Let's say Biden hadn't completely bombed the debate but continued to muddle along as he had been, and the DNC didn't try to force him out. Would he have won?


Absolutely not.

It's clear with how people ranked issues on exit polls,

Absolutely nobody would have won for the Democrats. The economic sentiment was too powerfully negative


DNC tricked Biden for that earlier debate in order to force out Biden. Prominent Democrats and many media people knew Biden's cognitive decline by then.


I don't think so, he wouldn't have overcome that event, and I think this was equally a referendum on Biden.
