Biden did not look presidential? It is difficult to keep up with the criteria for judging the debate winner...oh wait: if republican--you win.

Or that Dems MIGHT win,just goes too far off script.....These folks that merely act like journalists are incapable of doing the "improv",that would simply be reporting fact,as it is....
