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.
