The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There I said it. This "disastrous" debate performance was a one-off. And it's one that wasn't even mostly Biden's fault. It was the fault of the people who prepared him, and the new debate rules (which, yes, were the rules requested by Biden's team). As Gavin Newsome said, you don't give up on the Team's Captain because of one disastrous game loss.

That said, at the outset I have no idea why Biden didn't at least explain his hoarse voice at the outset, saying it was due to a cold (assuming that was the case). I also don't know what to make of the fact that Biden was apparently back in tip-top shape an hour after the debate at a rally. Did his cold medicine finally kick in?
