Comedian Michael Ian Black declared that Thursday’s presidential debate was “over” just a few minutes in when a clearly struggling President Joe Biden froze on stage and descended into incoherence.
The embarrassing momentecame early in the CNN broadcast when a disoriented Joe Biden started spouting gibberish before completely freezing up, and then bizarrely declaring “we finally beat Medicare.”
Biden: "Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat medicare."

Trump: "Well he's right. He did beat medicaid. Beat it to death." pic.twitter.com/FL152ERLiR

Black admitted Trump was easily outperforming Biden.
I never thought I'd say this, but Trump's command of the facts, to this point, appears better than Biden's. Biden seems over-coached and halting. Trump is speaking off the cuff and making false statements, but speaking them confidently.
