 By the end of the debate, panic was spreading through the Democratic Party. That was not what we needed from Joe Biden, and it's personally painful for a lot of people. People feel like that we are confronting a crisis. Even the vice president didn't sugarcoat it. It was a slow start. That's obvious to everyone. I'm not going to debate that. Both candidates provided some truly surreal moments, like this exchange about Trump's hush money verdict.
