This is why you keep your head up…because THE MEDIA IS ENTERTAINMENT AND KNOWS NOTHING!!! Here is the first post debate poll…
When the survey asked respondents to choose between Biden and former President Trump, 45% chose the president and 44% chose the former commander-in-chief.
Yes, the President is LEADING while the jokers in the Times editorial room are clutching their pearls and playing silly media games to generate clicks.
This is what we are up against, btw, here is the headline of the article with this poll result.
60% of voters want Biden replaced as candidate after debate.
That’s what they want you to know. But they can’t bury the real story if we don’t let them.
Get out there and do something, and teach the folks that are mad the President doesn’t give the time of day a lesson.
H/T to Danchi in the comments.
Update: Saturday morning brings a second IPSOS poll confirming the first.
The face-off doesn’t seem to have caused many people to reconsider their vote. That said, Biden did lose a small share of potential voters: Post-debate, 46.7 percent of likely voters said they were considering voting for him, which was 1.6 percentage points lower than before the debate. (Note that this was not a straight horse-race poll; respondents could say they were considering voting for multiple candidates.)
Trump’s support, meanwhile, barely budged, perhaps a reflection of the fact that, while Biden performed poorly on Thursday night, voters weren’t especially impressed with Trump’s performance either. The share of likely voters who said they were considering voting for Trump after the debate climbed from 43.5 percent to just 43.9 percent.
It will be an absolute shame if the Democratic off the record pearl clutching committee and media searching for clicks did more damage to the party and the democracy than the very people trying to tear it all down.
Oh wait…that didn’t happen.
Donald Trump got convicted for 34 felonies. Did Republicans run to microphones panicked? Did editorial pages tell him to drop out?
No, they circled the wagons because exactly what is happening now would have happened to Trump. The sharks would have started circling. (The entire campaign and DNC should be fired for the decision to not go on an all out attack after the conviction).
And right on cue, The New York Times calls for the President to drop out.
Of course, they are big mad because the President won’t sit down for an interview and I bet they are using this as leverage. What a terrible company and publisher!
(Note to you holdouts, now would be a good time to end those subscriptions to the gaming company pretending to be a journalistic endeavor)
In any event, it’s an absolute terrible moment for the elected members of the Democratic Party talking to reporters off the record, part of a party that has traditionally been looked at as weak, as the party that will cut and run at the first sign of trouble.
The Patriots were down 28-3, the Warriors were down 3-1. Did they just give up?
No, they pulled themselves up and kept fighting. They didn’t give their opponents a free run at a championship. They didn’t throw in the towel.
Boxers are trained to bounce on their toes or even smile after they've been hit hard so that the judges won't think that the opponent scored a blow. It's called smiling through the face of adversity.
Elected Democrats….you are turning off swing voters that weren’t turned off. And even if they were, you are reinforcing the worst of your reputation. Now is the moment to change that forever!
Buck up. Get a spine. And step into the ring to fight for this democracy…give Americans a reason to believe you have strength.
UPDATE:
Here’s a master class from Jasmine Crockett on the appropriate reaction from members of her party.

Listen to Jasmine…not James Carville, Ezra Klein, David Ignatius, or Thomas Friedman (who all by the way I believe were the ones that said only Joe Biden could win in 2020…you don’t get to run away now, you are in the foxhole fellas…you don’t get to airlift out when the going gets tough).
