It has; the Times’ coverage can’t win you an election but it can certainly lose you one

Exactly! So annoyed that the freakers didn’t think this through.

Which was why cooler heads were telling people to stop freaking out.

Yes! I thought it would be a couple days of hand wringing, then back to business as usual.

I think the freaking out has lowered the bar. Trump would have had to soil himself to lose the 1st one because no one expects coherence from him. On the other hand, Biden's path to victory next time is "having a normal one." Pretty sure this was even a West Wing subplot at one point.

I’m just so tired of worrying about whether Joe can keep it together. I couldn’t say how it would actually affect the race but it would be nice to have a candidate I can have more confidence in.

I’m not so certain. The median American voter has voted against Trump twice and now he’s got a felony. Meanwhile, everyone has been screaming about how old Biden is for years. I just don’t see how a debate that makes him look old moves the needle. We know who these guys are already.

The freaking out has been worse for Biden than the initial problem.

The freaking out plus Biden as a candidate proving the point by being seemingly unable to assuage any fears.

I'd like to see polls 2 weeks out from the debate before we decide on that.

That's something we can also wait on some polls for. Unclear to me how much any of this changes the calculus for your typical voter.

The Biden camp could have staunched the bleeding by having him do a few press conferences, taking questions, etc and they didn't. People are rightfully concerned because you don't recover from dementia. It just gets worse.

Also there is not zero evidence:

More evidence will come out as the situation develops.

I was not a Biden should drop out person given his performance immediately following the debate and the rally the next day, but find it concerning that he hasn’t gotten out there for more events and has not shored up support with calls to congressional Dems in the ensuing days.

I'm having a hard time understanding how legit the freak out is. I know anecdotal is useless, but in all honestly, I've yet to find a single person in my orbit who is freaking out. I just read about people freaking out.
