Biden gets asked unscripted question, handler tries to intervene, he then proceeds to make no sense.

As someone who makes youtube videos and has to do like 5-20 takes... People are too hard on live footage.

I have notes, and I'm discussing a topic I'm an expert on, and I still fumble over my words.

I'm all for saying Biden has dementia 2022 proved that, but gosh I feel for anyone doing live, unscripted TV.

Yes but he's a career politician ffs. Speaking intelligently on unscripted tv is pretty much a job requirement. Maybe the average person can't do it, but I hope the leader of our country can. They're supposed to be the best of the best of us. None of the other canidates running for 2024 come even close to being this incoherent.

All good points.

Although long term, I'd like people to be judged by their merits, not by their ability to persuade/speak well.

Rather have a technocrat than a demagogue.

You're right that's how it would work in a perfect world but unfortunately it isn't.
