The debate was not the first bad day, and it's not gonna be the last."
The Joe Biden that I work with every day is someone who, as I have said, has performed in a way that has been about bringing people into the Oval Office, Republicans and Democrats, to compromise in a way that is extraordinary these days, because it just doesn't happen, but Joe Biden can make it happen."
The person we saw tonight, the president we saw tonight on that stage: Is that how he is every day?"
The problem they have is they’re radical because they will take the life of a child in the eighth month, the ninth month and even after birth, after birth,
I didn’t have a great night, but I’m going to be fighting harder.”
I know many of these people and how the White House operates. They will say he has a 'cold' or just experienced a 'bad night,' but for weeks and months, in private, they have all said what we saw last night—Joe is not as strong as he was just a couple of years ago,
And for a guy like [Biden] who's been a lifelong stutterer and has to compensate for that, the cognitive load that he has to devote to that is very high and as you get older that becomes harder to do. And certainly, later in the day, you can imagine if he's a little more tired, that all can just become harder and harder."
In general, as you get older there are issues with memory, with word retrieval...or retrieval times."
Who do you think did the better job, or 'won' Thursday's debate?"
It's been a terrible thing, what you've done."
[He ... He] works his heart out fighting for families like the one he grew up in in Scranton, and who, because of his determination, experience and decency, keeps achieving unprecedented results for them.

It's not about performance, in terms of a debate, it's about performance in a presidency,
By letting far-left socialists control his policy agenda, Biden made a huge blunder that will jeopardize his support from the 33 million Americans enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans who will see their premiums go up, co-pays increase, and benefits decline before November,
President Biden's team is gambling that MA beneficiaries won't realize before the election the benefits Biden's team is causing them to lose come January 2025,
51% of Medicare-eligible Americans choose MA, and that number grows each year. Nearly all of them self-report satisfaction with the program. So, for 51% of seniors, Medicare Advantage is Medicare, so cuts to the program equate to cuts to Medicare. Trump understands that increasing health care costs for society’s most vulnerable population before an election is a stupendously dumb idea. Other Republicans should follow his lead,
I will not cut one penny from Social Security or Medicare, which Joe Biden is destroying by letting millions of people come into our country. He’s destroying Medicare and Social Security,
Not only will these cuts increase out-of-pocket costs for seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans by an average of $396 next year, cutting Medicare Advantage hurts Medicare solvency, too, since it’s less costly to the federal government compared to original Medicare and studies have shown that Medicare Advantage could help extend Medicare solvency by 17 years . MA delivers the same benefits as original Medicare for just 83 cents on the dollar,
President Trump delivered on his promise to protect Social Security and Medicare in his first term, and President Trump will continue to strongly protect Social Security and Medicare in his second term,
This is cherry picking numbers. Under the rate announcement, payments to Medicare Advantage plans are expected to increase by 3.7% next year, equivalent to over $16 billion. A $16 billion increase is not a cut,
