It's possible that they're playing 4D chess by letting Biden have a bad first debate, just so they can come back with a stronger second debate. I don't know why they'd do that right before the Democratic convention but no one ever accused Democrats of being strategic masterminds.

It's also possible that he has rapidly declined since the SotU three months ago and he's going to be so much worse by September.

Yeah the alternate scenario is the drugs just arent working anymore.

I highly encourage them to keep pumping him with experimental blends of amphetamines and other uppers. Just go full Hitler's doctor mode. Let's see how far we can push his corpse

Yeah, I didn't really mean they did this fully on purpose, although it reads that way, I just meant like whatever they were doing obviously imploded immediately (maybe the meth serum was off) and the CNN producers/talking heads (and across the DNC broadly) immediately jumped into "replace him!" mode. Now that Biden, his team, and other high up dems have seemingly squashed this easy way out for them, they'll probably just see if they get a passable second debate and then do what I was saying.

And just to be clear, I don't think this was all pre-orchestrated. I think many of these CNN types were delusional and then when they saw his performance totally unedited and live, they said "well, obviously that's a fucking wrap!" But since they're such cucks to power when Biden and others said he will remain they just immediately backed down like "oh, sorry, we're still rooting for Joe!" And next debate, if he does a passable job, will be their reason to say he still has it, they judged too early, etc.

That is the script they seem to be following. First debate they blame the stutter, second debate they hook him up to a meth IV and let him cook.

My money’s on this one, and that the drugs aren’t working anymore because of how much further he’s declined.
