The quote:

“Given Joe Biden’s incredible record, given Donald Trump’s terrible record: he should be mopping the floor with Donald Trump. Joe Biden is running against a criminal. It should not be even close. And there is only one reason it is close. And that is the president’s age.”

    He can’t “fix this” the same way he hid it.

    The catch 22 he is in, is that he has to very publicly demonstrate to us that the debate was a fluke. The problem, is performances like his Stephanopoulos interview simply affirm the conclusion that he’s a deeply out of touch grumpy old man who can keep track of his own thoughts for the duration of a conversation. His: recovery’ interview, I mean it wasn’t as bad that the debate, but it did still dig the hole deeper.

    So if you can go ‘show’ how this isn’t a problem because you make the problem worse, you have to concede.
