“It’s often hard to choose a winner in a debate, with supporters all the time claiming their candidate was the winner, no matter the evidence. But yesterday’s contest was a complete disaster for Mr. Biden. He stumbled over answers, stuttered incomprehensibly at times, and didn’t throw prepared lines of attack. Mr. Trump was himself — devious, deceitful, vindictive — but that did not stop him from coming out on top.

“It was painful,” he began in an emotional commentary on CNN. “I just want to speak from the heart… I love the guy. He’s a good man. He loves his country. He does the best he can. But he had a test to meet tonight to restore the trust of the country and the base, and he didn’t do it.”
