I think you're completely wrong. There are very few things Trump could have done differently in the last two weeks that would have served him better. The Democratic Party, for some reason, gave him an opening a truck could drive through, and Trump steered it through in an optimal fashion.
In a two-man competition, brilliance is relative. If the other guy should be starring in Weekend at Bernie's, odds are you're going to look pretty smart.
If you've been cheerleading Biden for the last 18 months, and ignoring how debilitated he's become, that's on you. The Democratic Party has been completely irresponsible, has been lying through its teeth regarding Biden's condition, and has done no American any favors. The Democratic Party is running a man for President that literally nobody would trust to babysit their children at this point. It's a disgrace.
It's not a matter of "cheerleading," as you put it. It's a matter of defeating Trump, by whatever means necessary. And having a party megasquabble isn't going to do it--it'll do the opposite, in fact.
I referred to Trump's performance during the debate. Do you REALLY think he put on his best face for the voters? And yes, he's done relatively nothing since. That isn't exactly a hallmark of genius. It might be the best approach for him, but I guarantee that he's longing to be adored at another of his hate rallies and is champing at the bit. So he'll jump back into the limelight--he can't help himself.
The man you seem to admire so is, quite aside from his myriad character flaws, a fucking idiot.
And a well-meaning old man with common decency and a good heart is orders of magnitude better than a soulless wannabe fascist, criminal, rapist, and felon who makes no bones about becoming king. We can all continue to bitch about Biden and hand Trump the White House on a silver platter, or we can rally behind Biden, regardless of his condition, for the simple reason that if we don't, we're all fucked and the Orange Turd will be our Dear Leader.
I for one don't want to be hauled off to a prison camp for forgetting to sing "Donald, Our Glorious, Noble Savior" eight times a day.
