A quick note on the debate

Before I dive into today's opinions:

I did not watch it because I knew how it would go: Trump would not answer the actual questions asked and would ramble and lie; Biden would sound and appear old and occasionally stumble over his words; and the media narrative would focus entirely on the latter while ignoring (or at worst downplaying) the former. From what I have read, the difference is one of degree rather than kind--Biden sounded much worse than anticipated, allowing for the additional narrative of "Biden should drop out" (five NYT op-eds make this point) as another reason to ignore Trump doing exactly what everyone expected him to do.
